Fun experience with lovely guide and beautiful scenery - We are a family of 4 and our first day in Venice this was our main activity. It was lovely. Easy directions for meet up and nice clean spacious boat. The guide was enough funny without being over the top and lots of information. The scenery in the lagoon and on the islands was wonderful. We were on Sunday so missed the full glass factory experience but it also was not as hot and the demonstration was very nice. The shop is full of lovely pieces and no sales pressure. We did buy a nice piece which just shipped. Highly recommended but maybe not for young kids.

Amazing Glass Blowing and Beautiful Islands to walk around - We had a great time, even though the weather was rainy and cloudy. Our tour guide Rachel was amazing, very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We would certainly recommend this trip to others. Watching the glass blowing session at Murano was a real treat.

Venice glass-making tour - The experience was tremendous. Our guide Raquela was very good and funny and loved to talk about her Venice. The glass making place we visited was very cool and didn’t give us the hard sell after the demonstration was done. Highly recommended

Open even on new years day - I would highly recommend it! I speak very little Italian (for now), so it was great that the tour was in English. The tour guide was very knowledgeable! The glass demonstration was short but sweet. He accepts tips. All the glass-made items in the shop in Murano were beautiful! They will even ship items to you. Burano was super charming! It is great for taking photos and easy to walk from end to end. Enough shops and restaurants were open to get the whole experience even though we visited on New Year’s Day 2025. It was a pretty chill tour. We also had a cool group of people. I would definitely recommend if you’d like to take a short trip to Murano and Burano. It was the perfect amount of time.

Great tour for families - We loved this tour. The glass blowing demonstration on Murano was great to watch and Burano was a revelation. We had a wonderful guide and even though we missed out on seeing any lace being made, we learned a lot.

Pretty good - This half day trip provided an interesting insights into important crafts coming out of the region, including glass and lace. Watching the glass blowing was very cool in particular. Visiting Burano to see the lace making was less interesting. The story behind the island was very cool but really they just take you to a shop and they talk to you for five minutes and then invite you to buy things. But the island is interesting and a good place for lunch.
