Watching a blob of molten sand become a lovely glass sculpture in the hands of talented artisans is amazing. We didn’t see any lace being made, but the finished products are lovely: scarves, table linens, baby clothes etc. The village of Burano is full of colored houses and lots of shops where you can purchase lace and jewelry while eating a gelato.

Fun trip. Good guide. Would be a totally different experience to spend a day in burano as it is totally worth it….

Eric_E

Glass factory and explanations was fantastic. Great show room. Salesman was friendly and appropriate. Not pushy but stayed with us. Lace side of trip wasn't the greatest but still interesting

Alex was fantastic and made sure that we all had a great experience. I loved hearing about his local experience with the islands and appreciated how well organized the tour was. Thanks, Alex!

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.

Todd_E

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 👌
