A nice excursion in optimal time! - Well organized tour and great islands. We were very lucky with the weather. What was great was that the information was told in many languages!

Well worth it!! - Ignore the negative reviews - we were a little dubious after reading ‘they left without us’ or ‘difficult to find’! It’s anything but…….very clear instructions which if you follow you simply cannot go wrong! Brilliantly well organised and let’s not forget ‘you get what you pay for’ - for circa £25 each, to have a 6hr trip by water visiting three islands, experiencing a Murano glass demonstration, onto the stunning colourful fisherman’s island of Burano …… what more could you ask for. Outstanding experience 10/10

Lovely Half-Day Around 3 Venetian Islands - Smooth half day tour around the Venice Islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello on the Serenissima Boat. Decent time to spend and explore the islands (could use a little more at Murano (I will tell you why...). Essentially this trip is pretty subsidized by Venice Events who take you right into their Murano showroom pier - you get a fine and quick demonstration of the "glass work" by a Master and then into the showroom. Let's face it - most folks will make some purchase. Thus this takes some time if you really want to see a little more of the Murano island. Then the tour continues onto Burano (see all the colorful houses) and Torcello (take a nice nature walk and see the island). All-in-all still a really nice trip - the guide was very proficient in the 5 languages and was very eloquent in each one describing along. The boat was very nice and clean too. We were lucky that we had a very small group. Lovely way to see around Venice.

Exploration! - Such a great time! Had just enough time at each location to get pics, shop, and explore! Meeting spot was not as stated so had to explore a little but was worth the find!

Seeing the glass being... - Seeing the glass being blown was fascinating. Just didn't have enough time in Murano. Found the group size larger than anticipated, but otherwise a good day
