We had a blast on this small group tour of the islands of Murano and Burano. Our guide, Franchesca, was amazaing! Plenty of opportunity to browse the shops, watch demonstrations in glass blowing art and learn about the history of the islands.

This tour is a must-do if visiting Venice. I recommend going in the morning before the islands get busy. The boat tour of the lagoon after visiting Burano was very informative and relaxing. Get away from the crowds of San Marco, and visit these 2 small lagoon islands!

Great trip to murano and burano. Guide Alexander very knowledgeable and friendly. Murano glass blowing was amazing to witness and the island itself is beautiful. Burano was spectacular with all the different colours and quirky little streets. Lots of choices for shopping and food. Highly recommended 👌

We had a great time! This half day experience was perfect timing to explore the two islands. Our guide was great with amazing energy and very knowledgeable of the area.

was expecting more from this tour, it is basically a boat trip to other islands in Venice. provide basic info about Venice in generally. glass factory was ok, they partner up with the shop by bringing more people there. you have the chance to see some beautiful glass work.

If you go to Venice and do not get off the tourist island, you will be missing out. There is so much more in both Murano & Burano!! This tour was very informative and beautiful. So much so, we took the same tour (and humorous guide) again from our 1st visit to this historic place. Our Venice born tour guide provides incredible insight on the different islands that make up Venice and make it fun with a glass of Prosecco!! You should not miss!!

We enjoyed the trip. Highlight was the beautiful island of Burano. Downside was we could not hear anything from the guide because of the noise of the engine on the boat

It was a great experience. We travelled as a family of 5 with 3 kids. We couldn't make it on our initially booked timeslot as our flight got delayed. But, we were kindly booked in for a trip on the next day! Our tour guide was a local person who was extremely knowledgeable about Venice overall. He clearly explained everything during the trip. The Glass Blowing demonstration at Murano Island was just mind-blowing! It's crazy to even think about the skill levels of these Italian craftsmen... You just have to see it to believe it! The tranquil and colourful Burano Island was a nice visit too. Opportunities for colourful selfies and family photos are available at every corner of the island. Just don't forget to grab a pack of hand-made speciality cookies of Burano before you return! Overall, the experience was well worth the money. We will definitely repeat this itinerary if we visit Venice again in the future!

This was a great tour. Our guide Frederico was knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer any questions. The tour visited Murano with a great glass blowing demonstration and amazing pieces of work to purchase (all staff were so welcoming and friendly). Burano was full of character, bright/colourful buildings and lovely little shops/food. Would highly recommend this tour. Something to note - I was very impressed that our tour proceeded with only a very small group given the time of year and addition of a new time slot. Most other tour companies would have cancelled or rescheduled us! 10/10!!

Our guide was fantastic and very helpful. The visit to see a Murano glass blower and sculptor at work was fantastic and Burano was beautiful. Well worth doing and very good value for money.
