    Such a great deal! We were visiting a lot of different cities in Italy and this tour helped us see such a large swath of Venice with minimal effort on our part. Gaia (spelling?) was a fantastic and friendly guide to Murano and Burano, and Marco was our expert around the city. Highly recommend!

    Definitely recommend this tour! We got to see some of the best experiences of Venice all in one day with so much time to explore on your own. Both of our tour guides were excellent, locals from Venice, very friendly and knowledgeable.

    This was the perfect tour to get to know the Venice main land, Murano, and Burano. A very good guide for around main Venice. The glass blowing was really amazing with how fast it can take. Burano was probably my favorite with all of the character and colors. If I were to wish one thing it would be to spend more time in Burano. But it was a great day!

  • Murano, Burano and the gondola ride were the highlights

    It is a lot of walking, but had rest times too. Because it was pretty noisy, I had a hard time hearing and understanding the guide at times. I’d say if you have noise cancelling headphones they would be a good option. Murano and Burano were very interesting but the boat ride to and from took a good amount of time. Overall a good way to experience Venice and the islands in a day, which was our goal.

    Claudia was great, always good exploring with a true local who's family been in the area (Bulano) for generations, only drawback preventing a 5 star is .. (and it is NOT claudias fault), is the extreamly tight time on Murano and Bulano...an extra 30 min min on Murano would be great.
