Enjoyable Day Trip to the Venice Islands - We had a fantastic time on the Venice Islands tour—easily one of the highlights of our trip! Each island had its own charm: Murano’s glassblowing and Burano’s colourful houses. The itinerary was well-paced, giving us time to explore without feeling rushed. Our guide, was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great stories that brought each stop to life. Her passion for the region was clear and made the day even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice!

A dream day - Hello, I was today 26/04/2025 in Murano and Burano and I really liked these islands not only for the colors and for the wonderful colorful houses, but especially for the story, here, in this Allegra was kind, polite, but above all you could see that she likes to do this kind of work and was very precise, also if you asked her a question she always answered you with a smile, and even if I did not ask her questions struck me.If the maximum was not 5 stars my rating would be infinite, I think she remembers me because she told me that her mother wanted to call her like me.I hope she reads my message. Good evening!!!
