Nice experience - We were scared how this trip would go but it was absolutely Okay. Not so many people on board, enough time to see Islands. To see Torcello was the only thing I would skip on this trip but at the end it was at least nice walk. Very nice day after all!

Trip to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello with the company Raphael (Chioggia). - Beautiful day trip to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello with the company Raphael of Chioggia. Departure at 9.30 am and arrival in Murano at about 11.10 am. Beautiful tour of the lagoon, breaks between islands correct as timing to visit the islands with their wonders! Lunch break in Burano . About an hour to visit Torcello (enough time since there is only the preserved Romanesque Church). Return to Chioggia around 6pm. Lucky as weather (warm but sometimes cloudy!). There are many kiosks for refreshment in the different stages and many delicious shops! To be redone in less hot period !😄🛳️

Needed more time in Burano - Murano was fun with the glass blowing, but didn't have enough time Burano. The boat did not come to take us to Burano. Had to wait another 40 minutes and then had another tour guide. She was actually better than the first.

Lonnnggggg day - This tour was on time and comfortable. We had a nice young lady as our guide. I gave the tour a low rating because she delivered her commentary in I think 4 languages, you couldn’t understand any of it due to a very poor audio/acoustic system. Also, it was a very long day - 6 hours…and 7 hours by the time we were dropped off at the train station. (They charged us 10 euros to go to the train station which they were going to anyway which annoyed me.) Torcello, though it may be of significant historical importance, I could have done without. Take a tour that goes to just Murano and Burano and is not longer than 4-5 hours.

3 hours in Murano is painful - Murano was great and I loved the glass making demo but we were left there for three hours. There is not enough things to do in Murano for three hours. One hour would have been plenty. Three hours was painful. Tricello was adorable. Burano was also very cute. I would recommend more time in Burano and less time in Murano. We were also in Burano when all the shops were closing down.

Don't bother... unless you're trying to kill an afternoon. - The ride back. Torcello = nothing to see. Murano = 15 minute glass making tutorial, 45 minutes trying to get you to buy some and 2.5 hours waiting to leave. Burano = I don't know, it was raining so we sat on the boat. Sorry to be negative, but if you have kids they'll be bored. If you're an adult, you'll be bored also.

Murano Murano Torcello - To start off we could not understand anything the guide said. She said it in at least 3 languages so fast we couldn’t follow her. Met two other couples who said the same thing. The guide did not seem the least bit interested. It was tell them what I need to and that’s it. I was excited to see the glass blowing as I have watched it on TV. The glass blowing demonstration was about 20 minutes. We had to stand a raised platform. I was lucky as the person in front of me was not tall. I heard others say they couldn’t see. The glass blower made a glass and a horse. Very disappointed as one couple who had been before said they had seats and it was a much longer demonstration. After we were taken into their store. After that we had over 2 hrs at Murano and it was mostly stores selling glass. We spent the time just walking around then sat on a raised brick garden wall waiting for ship. Next stop was Torcello. We had 1 hr there. Asked the guide what was there she mentioned 3 things said there was one road and you couldn’t get lost. 1 hr. was enough. Next was. Burano which was beautiful. Only had 1 hr there although my paperwork said we would be there for 1.5 hrs. We have been on many tours with you but this was a complete waste of money. Very disappointed.

Poorly organized - Don’t waste your money on this tour. First, it was very confusing as to which boat to get on because no one there spoke English and the guide was not present. The man who was there was rude and just pointed and wouldn’t talk to me. The “guide” had a canned talk about general info that was basically the info when signing up. She repeated that info for any other language present. I didn’t learn anything new by having the guide. I would still do the trip, but I would just do it using Vaporetto (the water bus). Still go to all places but on your own time where you can stay as long or short as you want.
