A lovely tour! The boat ride was relaxing, and the islands were beautiful. Murano’s glassblowing was impressive, though I wish we had more time to browse the shops. Burano’s colorful houses were a highlight for me, perfect for photography. The guide was knowledgeable, but I felt the tour was a bit short—another hour would have made it perfect. Overall, a great way to spend half a day.

This tour was the highlight of our Venice trip! The boat ride was smooth, and visiting the islands of Murano and Burano was such a treat. The glassblowing demonstration in Murano was amazing, and the colorful streets of Burano were absolutely stunning. Our guide was friendly and gave us just the right amount of history without overwhelming us. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore beyond the main city.
