Excellent trip. Guides were awesome and it was a lot of fun a great way to see and experience the glass factory and barone

The Murano/Burano Island trip is basically a boat ride which gives you a site seeing look at some of Venice from a waterside perspective. The actual island events were less than stella and merchandise grossly over priced from $30 shot glasses to $4 cookies. There was little to see for glass blowing although the craftsman thought highly of himself. You would be far better off hiring a taxi to drive you around Venice versus heading out to these islands.

Venice is a MUST see! Take the tours of Murano & Burano too...enjoy the ride to and from. Buy beautiful glass and delicate lace. Walk the streets like you live there. Be sure to have an iced limoncello!

Murano & Burano are amazing - could’ve stayed longer on both - but the trip itself was very disorganised. The guidance on where to join the boat was very vague. There was also supposed to be an audible guide but we couldn’t hear any of it due to the noise of the engine! It was pointed out to the guide that no-one could hear but nothing changed! When we disembarked at Murano there was no guidance on what time to rejoin the boat and no sign of anyone to ask when we got off. Fabulous islands but could benefit from much more organisation!

This is definitely a “you get what you pay for” excursion so manage your expectations. I read the reviews here before purchasing the tickets and I can see what alot of people were saying was happening. First, if you are leaving from the train station you will be leaving in a water taxi and you’ll be brought from the train station to the dock at city center. That is where you’ll board the boat where you’ll do most of the tour from. While on the water taxi, our guide did talk about some of the islands we passed so you get to hear more about the different islands if you leave from the train station. Second, folks were saying that the guide was hard to understand when repeating things in English. Her accent was a little strong so I could understand that perspective. She was surely impressive though as she spoke quite a few different languages. While on the boat she spoke in English, Spanish, Italian and French I believe. Third, you won’t be led around Burano and Murano. They showed us a glass blowing demonstration but I didn’t get to see it. I’m 4’9 and wasn’t about to fight other passengers to get to the front to be able to get in the front row. So I stood on a bench in the back and still couldn’t see. There was no organization or instruction about sitting anywhere so I didn’t even realize there were bleachers until we were leaving. Because I couldn’t see the glass blowing demonstration, I wasn’t pressed to buy glass from there. So I went out into Murano and found some shops to buy from. One of them is called Crazy 4 Glass and the style of the items in there were most eclectic than any of the other glass I saw. All this to say that the most guidance you get from the tour is some info about the islands that are around Venice and that you need to be back on the boat at a certain time. So make sure to manage your expectations about what you get with this tour. Fourth, if you are hungry by the time you get to Burano there is a restaurant that serves quickly called Restaurante Pizzeria Principe. I was seated, ate, went to the bathroom and paid all in 30 minutes or less. A last suggestion, if you get to the pick up spot and don’t see a boat, you can call the customer service number to ask for assistance. I was early but still called to make sure I knew what boat to look for. Some of the other reviews talk about how there’s no signage to let you know that the tour starts there. They ended up being left behind and I didn’t want that to happen to me. So I called to double check and I think others should feel comfortable calling too. This tour did what I needed it to do so it was worth it to me. But you aren’t getting the caliber of tour that Hop On Hop Off gives. It’s definitely like taking a boat cruise that stops for an hour in each places and offers up interesting facts about surrounding islands. An hour seems like enough time but I could have used another 30 minutes on each island. Hopefully this is helpful :)

Great experience. Knowledgeable tour guide. A great experience. Got to see the beautiful island it was a once in a lifetime trip!

Brooke_S

A great opportunity to see Murano and Burano! The meet up spot was easy to find and the boat ride was quick and smooth. You get time to explore both islands and the staff was so nice!

Donna_W

The glass blowing demonstration on Murano was really interesting. It would be good to have a lace making demonstration on Burano. Instructions for meeting point should be updated to say meet at the dock, not in front of the advised location as no guide comes to collect you at the location and expects you to be at the dock. Keep an eye out for the boat name!

Decently priced and a nice itinerary. Would have been great to have a more detailed tour of what is visible from the boat and more time on each island. I have not done it, but now think it would have been quite easy to plan the same itinerary with more freedom on your own using the public boats

Glass blowing was good. Lunch in burano was beautiful. However at end of tour we were left at least a half mile from where we started. Instructions were not clear.
