This was easy to book and great value for money. The boat trips and the staff were brilliant. The time allowed to visit each island was just enough

A great tour. In Murano, the demonstrations of how those glass masterpieces are made would be worth it. Burano impresses with the beauty and level of details in its products. Luiz & Inara

Spent more time on boat, very boring, all they wanted to do is sell you glass, the next island very very quiet, again nothing to do or watch

Hi - our flight from Toronto was delayed by 5 hours. We did notify the local tour operator to see if we could cancel or reschedule. The tour operator said we would need to contact Viator. Long story short, we missed the tour. I always use Viator to friends travelling to Europe. My sister and I have 3 events scheduled with Viator. A refund for Murano-Burano would be appreciated as we did contact the tour operator at 9 pm Toronto time as soon as we learned of the Air Canada flight delay due to mechanics issues. Thank you Liz and Kathy

My wife and I had a great time! Both Islands were amazing. Before booking we read some people found the glass blowing part boring and I have to strongly disagree. It was incredible to watch how quickly the glass maker could make such beautiful things. Murano was a great spot to buy little glass gifts after the demonstration and we definitely had to pick some of those up. Burano was absolutely stunning. Great spot to take some incredible pictures. The shops were great to look through as well as they had a lot of great stuff. It's an island unlike anything I've ever seen it's really a must see while in Venice! Lastly the boat ride was great the fresh air is amazing and sitting out on the deck was another must for us. Just know you're in good company when you book!

Dont try to do too much in one day. The tour of the Basilica and Doge Palace was great but overran then we missed the trip as the meeting point was impossible to find :(

It was ok. I wish we got a chance to visit the town of Murano. All we did was watch the glass maker and buy souvenirs in their shop. Then it was time to go. We ate in Burano, however, there’s not much else to do but shop the little stores. All in all it was ok. It was a nice change from the hustle and bustle of Venice.

Murano is a complete waste of time to be honest… a 2 minute display of glass making and a repetitive announcement from the guide about the 50% discount in the gift shop! Burano is a completely different island, beautiful, colourful and amazing restaurants, next time we will head directly to Burano. Otherwise an informative and well organised excursion

Lovely tour, great boats and plenty of time to explore! Murano glass blowing was great and loved the atmosphere of Burano with all the coloured houses, highly recommend this trip!

This tour was the greatest value we had in Italy. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Venice for more than a day. We did the 1/2 day tour of Murano and Burano and the amount of time of the tour was just perfect. The glass blowing demonstration on Murano was very interesting and caught the attention of my usually bored 13 year old son. And honestly the boat ride two and from these two islands was one of the highlights of the day. It was so nice to be out on the water staying cool on what was a very very hot day. We loved this tour which just goes to prove you can measure the enjoyment factor on these tours by price alone.
