    Our tour guide, Nicole, was great and gave us an awesome history lesson about Venice. The trips to Murano and Burano were very nice. Wish we had more time in Burano but I guess we will just have to come back.

    We had a wonderful experience on this tour. We had a very knowledgeable guide who gave us amazing insights into everything we saw. Everything was very well organized, giving us a little bit of time to get some coffee and take a few breaks.

    It is a long day, but it covers all of the sites. I wish it allowed more time in Burano. Fun and informative guides

  • Must do experience in Venice!

    Our guide was super informative and the views were spectacular! We were in a group of 10 and there was plenty of space for us to have extra room for stuff we bought on the boat rides to the different islands. The glass blowing demonstration in Murano was so cool and there were no pushy salesmen like the previous comments. You don’t need any pressure to buy something there; the glass is absolutely stunning! In Burano, we got a live demonstration of the local textiles and stitches being made there. You won’t have too much time to eat in Burano, but the restaurant (Trattoria Da Primo) had our food out in less than 5 minutes and it was spectacular (order the seafood spaghetti; you won’t regret it!). If you have a day free in Venice, this experience is a must! Couldn’t recommend enough
