I really enjoyed this boat tour to Murano, Burano and Torcello! Everything was well organized, the boat was comfortable, and the experience was beautiful from start to finish. ✨ The only suggestion I would have is to adjust the time spent on each island. I would have preferred a little less time on Murano and Torcello and more time in Burano, as there is so much to see, explore and enjoy there. One hour in Burano felt a little too short — we didn’t even have enough time to sit down and eat because we had to return to the boat. I think at least two hours in Burano would make the experience even better and allow visitors to explore the colorful streets, take photos and enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. Apart from that, everything was perfect and I truly enjoyed the tour! I would definitely recommend it. 💙✨

Observing the glassmaking process on the island of Murano. But the journey there and the other islands we saw and visited on this tour were also fantastic. I highly recommend this tour.

It was a nice tour, but on the other hand, when we booked we were told that the tour was available in French, but once we arrived: there wasn't one... Luckily for us, we speak German and English, but even in those languages we didn't understand anything. Please provide audio guides for languages other than Italian because we couldn't understand a thing.

The tour itself is nice... but there’s not enough time at each stop... 45–50 minutes per stop doesn’t even give you time to stop for a second if you want to see anything. The guide’s explanation is great, but unfortunately people are chatting and shouting, and it’s almost impossible to hear anything... The boat was full of Spaniards and South Americans who, obviously not understanding any of the three languages, had decided not to let anyone else understand a thing either 🤣🤣

This tour was a great way to see the highlights of the islands in the Lagoon, all in just half a day. The boat transport between each island have great views, all while receiving interesting tidbits from the staff about the history of the lagoon. You are given plenty of time to explore each island, and the glass blowing tour is fascinating.
