First of all, Leticia the lady your guide was the best! Very polite and sharing with us many informations! The tour was very good, time just to have a view from the islands. Maybe I would like to have more time at least at Burano to have some time to drink or eat something. Because it has 'lots' of things to see and it's crowded you spend all your time just to see around and it's time to leave.

The boat ride there was great. Weather was nice. Murano we saw a glass blower make a vase in about 4-5 minutes and then he made a horse in about 1 minute with color. That was amazing. We spent to much time in the shop so little time walking around the shopping area. But it's was great!! In burano walked around and shopped. Took pictures people were pleasant and friendly.

Superb experience! Tickets need to be picked up at the tourist office, and they will direct you to the meeting point. Be careful not to get too lost in the streets and make sure to watch the time so you don't miss the boat 😉

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.

Well-organized tour; thorough and punctual guide with explanations given in 3 different languages (Italian, English, and French), and an interesting demonstration by the master glassblower. The time spent on the islands was an hour at most, which was a pity because Murano and Burano deserved a longer visit. Still recommended.

The tour is very appealing due to the beauty of the trip and the islands. I didn't like that, without making it clear beforehand, they left passengers behind on one of the islands who arrived just a minute after the scheduled time, even though they easily could have picked them up.
