The tour overall, except that 15 other people and I were made to wait about 1 hr at the place where the starting point was supposed to be arguing that they didn't know we were there, and that a ferry had broken down :expressionless:

Unfortunately, given the length of the sailing, there is very little time to take in what the three islands have to offer. I do not feel satisfied. I would have preferred to have more time to visit even two of the three islands. However, the value for money of the service is very good considering the standards of a city like Venice.

The experience was well worth the money you get plenty of time to explore each island and the tour guide gave really insightful jbformation on some of the things you could see from the boat. The glass blowing demo was also incredible to watch! Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Venice for the first time.

We liked Murano and Burano and would have been happy to spend more time on each. By comparison, for us, Torcello fell a little flat.

Super simple booking. Great day out with friendly boat staff. Highly recommend.

Take this full-day excursion in and around Venice and enjoy the sights and sounds that make up this historically and culturally-rich city. This trip is spread across three distinct islands in the Venetian Lagoon. Start your day by taking the boat from St. Marks area to the beautiful island of Murano, where you will get to visit one of Venice’s famed glass factories. Here you can learn the art of glass blowing by watching the masters in action during a demonstration. There are various sights on the island such as the Basilica of Santi Maria e Donato, one of the oldest in the region.

The next stop in the tour is the vibrant island of Burano, where you can see lines of colorful houses by the canals. You can also pick up a souvenir in the form of a rare artisan lace. The last stop in the tour is the island of Torcello, which was founded in the year 452 and is scattered with buildings that are hundreds of years old. You can leisurely stroll around the various tourist spots on the island, such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, Attila’s throne, and the Bell tower. Upon finishing the tour, your motorboat will drop you at the departure point.
