Beautiful!! - We had a wonderful time visiting Burano and Murano. We especially enjoyed the guide telling us about what we were seeing on our way there. Highly suggest this tour.

Highly recommended - We decided to do these two Islands and skip the Tourcello one as we had heard it was mainly churches and buildings which I think we would have enjoyed but our Teenagers would have been bored. This trip was fantastic from beginning to end. We had the option of sitting below deck or on the top. As we were all already sunburnt, we chose to sit below. They were very clear with speaking in four different languages and gave us loads of interesting facts as we passed other islands. In Murano we got to see glass making in action which after watching on Netflix, in person was even better. Then we had a little walk around the famous glass factory before we set off to Burano. Burano was my absolute favourite. So beautiful. I would have stayed there forever. We had a bit of lunch before returning to Venice. Next time we hope to spend longer in Burano.

Great - This was easy to book and great value for money. The boat trips and the staff were brilliant. The time allowed to visit each island was just enough

Murano and Burano 2023 - A great tour. In Murano, the demonstrations of how those glass masterpieces are made would be worth it. Burano impresses with the beauty and level of details in its products. Luiz & Inara

Ok your would do something different next time - It's packed there were no seats for us half the time. Couldn't hear much. The glass blowing was fun but was rushed.

Good but could improve - Very hard to hear what is being said by the tour guide if you’re sitting on the upper deck. It would have been nice if the guide waited for everyone to get off the boat in Burano before walking towards the location for the lace making demonstration. She was gone when I got off the boat and many people were confused so went different directions so you couldn’t figure out which way to go. Clearer signs, like a person holding something with the tour group name on it, would make it a lot easier to figure out which boat is the right one, as there are many boats at the listed meeting point.
