An excellent tour on modern, spacious and comfortable boats - A truly unique experience!! My wife and I chose this offer among the thousands offered to us by the various portals. The tour of the Vidali Group Company was excellent! The boats are comfortable and modern, the staff on board is kind and competent. I will definitely be back 👍

Very nice mini tour but a little too hit and run - We took the trip to the islands of Murano and Burano only Departure and return at the pre-established times, (I recommend maximum punctuality, otherwise you will remain on foot), it was Easter Saturday, the motor ship was very crowded so the time for loading and unloading passengers took away a bit of time from the rest (in Burano we were unable to watch the lace being made because we arrived late: we got off the motorboat almost for the last jackets (we were on the upper floor). However, a very well organized trip, with a visit to a furnace in Murano, and the possibility of a short free walk, a visit to a shop selling typical biscuits in Burano, a visit to a lace shop, and (a little) time for a walk in the town. I probably should have booked a trip with more hours, this one, although it was very beautiful, was too hit and run.

Always Nice To Travel On Boats - A lovely way to spend an afternoon in Venice by the 3 island tour. We started at the island of Murano - famous for its glassware. Spent 5 minutes watching a glass blower, then we were ushered through to the shop where I guess the expectation is you buy some of the gaudy glassware. We stopped to grab a drink before back on the boat to visit Torcello - for us, the stand out of the 3. We walked along a canal to passing a couple of lovely restaurants to see some historical ruins/old buildings. Would have loved to have tried one of the restaurants. Then off to Burano - famous for its coloured buildings and lace. We were free to walk around and enjoys the buildings, canals and shops - then back on the boat to return to Venice

In good weather with a more seasoned tour guide, we would recommend - It was rainy, which made it less enjoyable however had the guide given up a map of the area with highlights as to where to go that would have been helpful. We were dropped off in Marano for almost 3 hours in a rain storm and told to just be back at a certain time, the same for the other two islands. We were not told where to find bathrooms or suggested activities. Our tour guide is young and new and needs to learn to offer up more assistance. In addition the weather was so bad and we couldn’t hear what she was saying, nor could we see it as she was discussing the Things and side of the boat

Not happy paid for 3 island and got 2 island. - Tour was booked at 14h on the 29.5.24, after paying full amount via internet I received an email less than 24h before that the trip was cancelled and they will give me full amount. Called the company and I managed to book at 10h for two island, whilst I paid for 3 islands. Never again I will book through here.

Choose a different company! - Vague meeting location without signage. Boat was late and had poor visibility. On board commentary was impossible to understand. Island pickup points were confusing and the return trip took a lengthy unnecessary side trip .

Not flexible to various circumstances. - Our flight to Venice was cancelled due to an airport strike, thus no one was able to fly into Italy. I asked if I could receive the refund despite it being within 24 hours of the event since it was due to something beyond my control. The company said I can use it for another day but I will be leaving to Florence and ignored the rest of my messages.
