Amazing! - High speed boat. Murano glass Burano Amazing amount of experiences packed into one day Slightly disappointed that one boat section was not private boat, and we were dropped some way from our apartment despite knowing my wife had broken foot.

Soaking up the atmosphere - We truly enjoyed our Grand Canal boat trip with visits to Murano and Burano. We have been to Venice and Murano several times but wanted to revisit the area with family Our guide Monica was excellent and gave special attention to our 82 year old mother. She adjusted the itinerary to accommodate us. We were never rushed and felt very comfortable with her. This tour is highly recommended

Private tour for the WIN! - Gloria, our tour guide, was definitely the highlight. She was so accommodating and flexible with our wishes. Her depth of knowledge about Venice and surrounding islands was truly remarkable. I would book again with her 10/10. This private tour is worth it!

Fabulous personalized tour - This tour was absolutely amazing and worth every penny! Our tour guide met us at the hotel and we immediately boarded a private water taxi and headed down the grand canal. We got the history of many important buildings and then headed to Murano. When we got to Murano we had a private demonstration of a vase and then a horse. Afterwards we viewed the galleryand weren't pressured at all. Next we headed off to Burano where we watched one of the original lace makers in action, then toured the beautiful village getting gelato and cookies. Finally we headed back and our guide gave us some recommendations for dinner at local places. Everywhere we went was by private taxi and we had such a personalized and special time. This is the only way to go!!
