Fun day trip to Murano - This small day trip was very fun for are family! We learned tons of new information about Venice and the islands around it! The glass making really caught are eyes as we got to see them create glass sculptures up close and look at very creative art! Murano was amazing and very peaceful we noticed that is was much less crowded then Venice. The colorful buildings felt like the pictures you see online. Overall great experience very fun guide spoke great English!!

Fab day out - We were greeted by the lovely Alessandra who was our guide throughout the day. Being a smaller more intimate group was a perfect way to travel as we all felt like being with friends.
The boat was of excellent quality and our captain also very charming. Alessandra was very informative and had a great sense of humour.
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have no hesitations in recommending this trip.
Top tip: when you go to Torcello do spend the extra Euros and go in to the church (to be fair you probably won't every go back but why not "do it properly" when you are actually there?!). It's the beginnings of Venice and in this old modest church you will see much more basic mosaics to the exquisite Basilica but you can't help but noticing the similarities.

Burano Architecture was a Highlight - I love photographing interesting architecture, and Burano was a hit.
Christina was an excellent guide, and the private boat was fabulous. We even bought a chandelier at the glass gallery in Murano.

Interesting break from the Venice crowds - We booked this tour to help us get regional flavor. Alessandra Perucci was an excellent guide who kept us interested the whole time. She was a delightful host to help us know what to expect as we enjoyed the glass factory demonstration and the quiet of Torcello. Burano was colorful and fun, but we could have skipped the lace demo and not really missed much. Allessandra also went out of her way for us; there was a regatta at tour's end that made us return to northern dock not St Mark's... and she walked us through Venice back to St Mark's still pointing out things of interest and answering questions, even though unrelated to our purchased tour.

Christina rocks this tour!! - This was definitely one of the best memories of our travel to Venice. The glass demonstration and tour at the New Murano Gallery was mindblowing. What they produce there is amazing. Burano was also great with the visit to the lace making shop, and Torcello was beautiful. The highlight of the tour was Christina, our guide, and I'd give her a 10. It's clear she is passionate about Venice and these islands, and the info she imparted was phenomenal. Would highly recommend.
