    Great half day excursion! We got to both Burano .. saw the classic colored houses and visited a lace establishment. We had an absolutely lovely wine tasting there as well! Next stop a quick visit to Murano and saw glass blowing which was amazing! We met at 8:30am and were back to Saint Marks Square just after 2pm. Guides were great!

    Loved this tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and easy to understand. We had a small group and enjoyed our boat tour to Burano and Murano. We really enjoyed the behind the scene tour on the streets of Burano and the beautiful little colorful homes and village. Murano glass making demonstration was fantastic and we loved getting a little time after to grab some trinkets to take home. The wine tasting at the old monastery was interesting, delicious and a very beautiful spot! We were so very glad we took this tour! Definitely a highlight of Venice!

    Great day out. Really interesting boat ride with commentary from our guide . Burano was amazing. We walked all around and saw the lace making. The visit to Murano and the glass making was brilliant . It really was fantastic to see the glass making. We didn’t really have enough time to get some lunch although we probably spent too long in the linen/lace shop. The only disappointment was the wine tasting at Venissa. Although an interesting visit the tour description clearly states 2 glasses of wine with snacks. It was actually a very small glass and no snacks . The wine was excellent though. When I challenged our guide she stated ‘no only one!). I think this isn’t right as clearly we should have had 2 glasses and this trip was not exactly cheap at well over £100 pp. Apart from this the tour was very good.

    We took the half day tour of Burano, Murano and wine tasting at Venissa. Our guide was fluent in English, a knowledgeable local, and funny to boot. Our group was relatively small, less than 20, so it didn’t feel like we were a horde invading the islands. Our guide treated us to a traditional Venitian cookie on Burano and gave us lots of history of the area. The only thing that would have made it better is if we had more free time on each island to be able to purchase some of the lovely things they made and maybe get a bite to eat. We took the tour on our 30th wedding anniversary. It was a lovely way to spend part of our special day.
