Great tour! - We really liked our guide Silvia. She was sweet and good with kids. It was a hot day and the kids did not start out with the greatest amount of energy, but Silvia was patient and related to them gently. We enjoyed the glass factory which was a hit. Burano was a bit slower and not as much to see or do for kids, but they enjoyed the walked through the garden. Overall, recommend!

Murano-Burano magnificento! - Ana Paula was an excellent guide, full of cultural enrichment and spirit. The Murano glass-blowing experience was tremendous as was the lunch on Burano!

Perfect way to see the islands. - Great way to see Murano and Burano quickly! They were must visits while in Venice. Beatrice our guide was kind and very attentive. She catered the day to our speed with our kids. The end of the tours are the hard sell for their goods, but worth it!

The only way to see Murano/Burano - We wanted a private tour of Murano and Burano and stayed by the airport so needed hotel pickup. This was one of only a couple willing to drive to our hotel. Sure, we paid extra for the pickup but we didnt have to hassle with busses and trains and boats. Monica was our guide and she was simply OUTSTANDING!!!! They even booked us a a 4 star restaurant on Burano and it was excellent. Every aspect of this tour was just beyond our expectations. This is a reliable company you can trust!!!!

Great excursion - What a great excursion with Kristina on the Murano/Burano trip. Venice is amazing - but also VERY hectic with all the tourists. The excision was a nice break from the hustle and crowds in Venice. Kristina met us at the hotel and walked us to the private water taxi and started the tour immediately. Great info on the way to Murano and the history of the whole area. The bay. The glass blowing. All of it. They we headed to Burano via private water taxi and had a really nice time on a much quieter island with great amenities. We took time to enjoy a drink with Kristina while she explained the area and how it all works on Burano. Then a nice trip back to Venice. Think the whole trip was about 4 hours which was perfect for us. I know the price may look high but when you factor that could include up to 6 people the private aspects of it made it much much nicer vs the larger groups with the earpieces etc. don’t get me wrong those are great too but a little break like this in the trip was well received.

A Local's Perspective - Our guide, Monica, was an absolute pleasure - very knowledgeable, charismatic and patient life-long Venetian. She also helpfully advised us on local dining options and went out of her way to walk us to one of the places she had suggested for lunch at the end of our tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Murano and Burano and can't wait to return to Venice.

Great half-day on the water and the Islands of Murano and (Beautiful) Burano - This was a great tour to take for a half day! We were leaving on an afternoon train, so we were able to start right when we requested at 9:30 am. The private water taxi was fun for our family and a lovely ride from our hotel dock through the city and then across the harbor. It was extremely interesting to see the incredible art of Murano glass blowing, although they did give us a bit of a sell afterward in the showroom. A private boat ride to Burano was great and scenic, and Burano itself was the most beautiful little island! Brimming with Colorful homes and shops, it was super-scenic and great for photos. It has a beautiful cathedral as well. The lace making was interesting, although a bit pricey for the goods. we thoroughly enjoyed our free time on the island. The private water taxi back was again a fun harbor ride, and then a nice ride through the canals of Venice right back to our hotel dock, in perfect time for us to refresh and then go to catch our train! No stress, no waiting on others, lovely boat rides on the beautiful water, time to explore on our own. Highly recommend!

Our Wonderful Visit to the 2 islands - We had a wonderful time visiting the 2 islands, Burano & Murano. Our private guide, Christian’s was nice & professional. We took the lunch (optional) which was suggested by the owner of the company, TopVenice. It was such a nice recommendation. Tasty seafood & good service served in a local restaurant. We definitely will pay our visit again👍🏻
