The tour was just 20 minutes and when we asked the gondolier about the rush he just didn't answer anything. He wasn't talking at all and after 3-4 times that we asked him some information he was pretending that he didn't hear us.

The whole trip was well organised. The guide gave good information in multiple languages on board and left us to explore the islands by ourselves.

Great half day trip to islands of Murano & Burano. Very impressive display of glass making / blowing.

There are two beautiful islands near Venice, Burano, and Murano, that are perfect for those who want to escape the crowds of tourists. While the former is known for its colorful buildings, the latter is known for its glassmaking. A day trip to Burano or Murano is a great way to see both islands while you are in Venice.

What to expect on your guided tour

Experience the islands of Burano and Murano on a boat tour from Venice. Sailing a comfortable boat, you will enjoy some time at leisure on the islands, and you will see a demonstration of glass-blowing.

Explore the small canals and buildings that line the islands of Murano and Burano as you ride by boat. Spend some time on your own as you explore these islands.
