5.00This was absolutely marvelous! It was a totally private tour and the guy was so wonderful. We had the boat to ourselves and they were so funny and nice. The glass museum tour was also absolutely excellent. I can’t recommend this enough.
Murano/Burano a must see!

5.00Overall we had a really fantastic time. We went to the Murano glass blowing factory to start. We had a tour of the facilities including observing of their master glass blowers making a variety of objects. In particular, the made a glass cup and a small glass figurine of a cat. The craftsmanship was incredible. We then went through their showcase of different glass sculptures/items etc and you could just look or you could purchase these items. From there, we got back on the boat to Burano and viewed the quaint little community of different colored houses. Shops also lined the streets and you were able to buy some trinkets. We had lunch at a local recommended restaurant and we had some delicious seafood. At the conclusion we were taken back to Venice. Federico was our tour guide and he was great.. very informative, very engaging and he definitely made the experience fly by! Would definitely recommend this tour.

5.00Selena was a fantastic guide! Absolutely loved this tour! The glass blowing demonstrations were wonderful to see how the beautiful glass was made. Walking along Burano with the beautifully colored streets- so peaceful.
Relaxing half day visit to three of Venice's islands.

4.00Short glass making demonstration, then extended showroom experience, but no historical (museum type) context apart from guide's information. No time to enter church on Torcello. Burano was beautiful but no sign of lace making. Guide was knowledgable and helpful
