Big shoutout to our guide - plenty to see and do! - Wow, what a ride! Hopping on that boat and cruising to Murano, Burano, and Torcello was like diving straight into a Venice history lesson, but way cooler. Learning how Venice was built was mind-blowing. Those canals? They're not just pretty water streets; they're the heart of the city. Murano was all about fiery furnaces and wicked glass-blowing skills. Seriously, watching those pros turn hot glass into art was like magic. Burano? Picture-perfect with its colorful houses and awesome lace stuff. And Torcello? Felt like stepping back in time. We also chatted about the challenges Venice faces, like the crazy floods. Hearing about the new dam they built to fight off the rising waters was super interesting. Big shoutout to our guide! He was on point, super chill, and knew a ton. My only bummer? I should've booked a longer tour. There's so much more to see! All in all, if you're looking to get the real scoop on Venice and its islands, this boat tour is a must. I'm already planning round two. Catch you on the next wave! 🌊🚤🇮🇹

Great half day tour! - We had a fantastic time with Alessandro! This is a truly private tour, it was just the two of us on his boat. The itinerary is perfect for a half day. You visit Murano including a glass blowing factory, and you also get to walk around on Burano. Before returning, you pass by Torcello. The boat is clean and Alessandro had great local knowledge to share!

Great experience! - We enjoyed our tour! My husband and 18 month old and I booked on short notice the tour was tailored to our interests and needs and we never felt rushed. We were able to bring our stroller on the boat as well. Alex was very kind and informative. We had a private demonstration at a glass blowing studio in Murano, enjoyed time to walk around Burano and we cruised around torcello while sipping local prosecco. We highly recommend!
