Julia var en mycket vänlig och uppmärksam guide. Hon gav all information om rutten och turnén på ett utmärkt sätt. Demonstrationen av Muranofabriken lämnade något att önska, det var väldigt enkelt och extremt snabbt. Jag har sett mycket mer intressanta på TV.

Franky guiden var utmärkt och vi lärde oss en betydande mängd om. Lagoon Glassblowing demo var intressant men kunde ha varit längre. Kostnaden för bitar till salu var långt bortom vår ficka men vacker. Burano var härlig. turnétiden var ungefär rätt.

Det bästa var guiden. Det var punktlighet, båten var mycket bra även om den är uppdelad i två delar och en av dem har en stark lukt av bränsle. I Murano lägger man till vid kajen till ett glasbruk där man får förklaringar om produktionen och sedan har man väldigt lite tid på sig att lära känna Murano. Jag tyckte inte om Murano men jag ville köpa några saker men det fanns väldigt lite tid. Burano var trevligare och jag gillade det faktum att guiden inte tvingade oss att besöka spetsfabriken dit de flesta i gruppen åkte.

Trots regnet är öarna Murano och Burano väl värda ett besök. Vår guide Cecile var mycket vänlig och tillgänglig för att svara på våra frågor.
