1.00Finding the ticket office was difficult The guide spoke so fast and right into the mike that one could not hear him in the boat as his words got distorted.

3.00The instructions for the meeting point are not clear. We clarified the start ti.r prior to rne tour and it was still incorrect. We did not have enough time on Murano. It was less than 1 hr We really needed at least another 30 mins. They need ro allow more time so you can grab some lunch as the tour was over lunchtime.

2.00Very difficult to communicate did not get much time on morano so we just stayed and did our own thing and took public transit back. It’s very easy to get to by the public boat i wish we did that. The glass demonstration was very neat but not worth doing this tour
Nice boat tour of lagoon

4.00The boat tour of the lagoon was nice but I would have liked to have spent more time at each island. We only had about 45 minutes at each.
