Informative and excellent value for money - Excellent trip. Our guide provided so much information throughout the 5 hour trip and what a fantastic price for what you get! Highly recommend if you want to visit Murano and Burano in a day with such ease.

Great day - Guide Ludo gave appropriate level of detail on Murano and Burano. It was really nice to have a private boat for our group. Murano glass shop was incredible. Had about 90 minutes of free time on Burano. My friend and I used it to wander around, but others had time to eat lunch.

A must do! - Our guide was wonderful - a lot of fun, interesting commentary. Very charming. Both Murano and Burano were very lovely, interesting - and left me very jealous of their lifestyle!! Would return for sure!

Brilliant trip - Really lovely day. Our guide was brilliant. The day was foggy so we used water taxis as the normal boat couldn't sail but this proved to be good fun.

Great boat tour of Murano and Lugano - Rakela was an excellent guide - and this guided tour was better than a previous tour I did when I travelled by public Transport to Murano. You get all the history of all the islands in the lagoon - and find out about the whole island of Venice as you travel around it. We did the same tour of the same glass factory as I did before - but we also had the added bonus of burano island which is well worth a visit. All together - it was 5 hours not 4 - but time very well spent and included time for lunch on burano. And we got Prosecco on the boat! Rakela was very funny - great sense of humour :)

Nice way to spend 1/2 a day - This was a wonderful and relaxing way to spend 1/2 a day touring around different islands around Venice. Our guide gave us information as well with some laughter as we sailed from the city to Murano, Burano and then back to the city. It’s amazing how long it can take to make some of the glass pieces (no wonder they’re so pricey). The gallery is beautiful and they want you to buy the overpriced items. Burano is a quaint little town. I enjoyed the colourful homes and lace items and linen clothing. We had enough time for lunch before the cruise back to Venice.

A bit disappointed - The glass factory tour was interesting, but it was high pressure sales through the showroom. I was disappointed that we did not get to see anything of the island, just the 1 factory. Burano is beautiful. Would have liked more time there.
