Excellent Guide and Tour - This tour was excellent. The guide knew these islands well and the private taxi rides were very nice. The native Venetian guide spoke perfect English and did not have an accent, so for the first time since we have been in Europe for the last 4 weeks, we understood every word she said - and she was quite knowledgeable and very fun to be around.

No regrets, worth every penny. - Eleonora and the experience was amazing, I dare say perfect. It’s a great way to see the islands, and get a different perspective of Venice in a matter of 4 hours. They picked us up at our AIRBNB, and dropped us off then walked us back. Eleonora was happy to talk history, fun facts, general topics with us from beginning to end. The conversations felt very welcoming and questions about Italy, Venice, history, culture more than welcomed for the duration of our time. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide and experience… not to mention boat driver!

The guide was excellent.... - The guide was excellent. She really knew the history of the islands and the culture of the people. The boat was beautiful and the driver was outstanding. We would have preferred to spend more time casually walking through Murano. Although Burano is beautiful and a must see, it’s very crowded and the experience wasn’t as pleasant as Murano.

Perfect way to see the islands - We booked this private tour for our honeymoon and it was great! Selena was a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who showed us the main sights and the quieter, off the beaten track areas of the islands. Everything ran smoothly and watching the glass blowing was a personal highlight!

Mixed - Adventure started 30 minutes late due to driver error and miscommunication from office. Murano was super. Very interesting and great artistry. Burano visit cut short and other stuff cut out due to late start. Since it was provider error I would have expected them to add the time to the end of the tour.

An option to see the lagoon and Burano by water but that’s it - GOOD - great communication with tour company - on time services - the island of Burano is worth the visit - it’s picturesque and charming and there’s enough to see and do for 75 minutes. It’s also interesting even if you don’t have any interest in Lace SO SO - the island of torcello (it’s got 11 inhabitants- you can just drive by - the island of Morano (we only went to one glass factory that wasn’t worth it) - the guide Mrs Eleonora was on time and polite but not particularly interesting or knowledgeable BAD: - they picked us up in a nice boat from our hotel (good!) but then switched boats half way through to a less nice boat and then told us they would not be able to drop us off at the hotel where we started because this second boat did not have permission to go on the grand canal - the sales tactics at the glass factory are sleezy- they keep the door to get out closed until you’ve walked by all the expensive stuff twice and asked to get out twice

Private Islands Tour - So so tour. Private transport was great and fast. Knowledgeable guide but not very attentive towards the end. The specific visits to 2 shops were interesting but not earth shattering. Could easily spend more time to visit more places given the price. Not the best value.

Scam to purchase expensive glassware - This trip is a scam, to get you to purchase expensive glassware at Murano. We placed an order. Just received and they are terrible. The tour guide left us alone at the factory the entire time. We had to find her and then she told us we didn’t have time to go to one of the islands.
