Historical and humorous - David not only put on a very insightful historical recount but also did it in an engaging and extremely entertaining way. Would very much recommend this experience to anyone who is wanting a great overview of the history of Venice whilst enjoying the outer islands of Venice.

A Different perspective. - It was a memorable experience with the knowledge of the guide who explained the reasons as to why certain aspects of Venicean culture was developed or adopted. We enjoyed the trip immensely and would recommend to anyone visiting Venice it shows you Venice from a different perspective. The weather was perfect for that time of year.

Unmissable excursion in Venice - We went with the guide Nicole, and she was really very friendly. We didn’t understand English perfectly and yet she explained every single thing we asked. The tour is excellent, the excursion is really worth it. It shows you a different and very important part of the Venetian industry. Both the glass factories in Murano, as well as couture and pastry in Burano. They are beautiful landscapes with much to learn and admire. We recommend it without hesitation. Thank you very much Nicole for your kindness, it was a pleasure to do this tour with you.
