First of all, taking a boat tour in Venice is truly the special experience you have to try... and seeing Murano and Burano is well worth it for the glass and the colorful houses. When you arrive on an island, you get 50 minutes to sightsee and eat.

Very bad—couldn't download the QR code, had to exchange the tickets using a hard copy with a serial number that actually printed out. The staff at the ticket counter in Italy were completely incomprehensible. I won't book through Headout again.
