Our trip around the Islands was a wonderful experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it, even seeing pink flamingos, an unusual visitor to these Islands. We are so glad we chose this smaller boat trip as it included San Francesco Island where just an inhabited Monastery stands. It has picturesque gardens and is so quiet, calm and tranquil, all you hear is the bird song. We started with a private viewing of a Marrano glass making demonstration as well as a visit to Burano and Torcello. We were looked after very well by Andrea who informed us well of the history of the Islands and how they evolved and interesting facts. He ensured we safely embarked and disembarked the boat at all the stops, and before we left San Francesco provided light refreshments in its peaceful surrounds before setting off to the next Island. We would highly recommend this small boat tour either as a couple or a small group and a break from the busy canals of Venice. The tour lasted 5 hours and allowed us plenty of time on each Island to explore and take photos. Thank you Andrea.
