Fantastic Day Exploring Three Islands. - Our party of three thoroughly enjoyed our six hour private tour. We started with a glass blowing tour on Murano which was exceptional. Our tour there culminated with each of us trying our hand at glass blowing. Next we ventured to Burano and enjoyed a typical Venetian lunch at a local restaurant. We saw lace being made and had time to shop. Our final stop was Trocello - what a special place. This island is quaint and has fewer tourists. We visited a church and enjoyed a leisurely stroll. This tour exceeded any expectation we had. Our guide Nadia was extremely knowledgeable, clearly knew the best spots to go and had a warm and inviting personality. The day was like visiting a long time friend. Between each island we were transported by private water taxi. If you are looking for a luxurious way to tour a few islands around Venice with an exceptional guide, we highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful day! - What a great day! You can tell Nadia has spent a lot of time researching the best glass factory to take you to. Awesome demonstration and beautiful gallery. Burano was too notch, Nadia knew all the places to get the best pics. The trip wouldn't have been complete without a stop in Torcello. Definitely recommend.

Great tour with a great guide. Loved it - Excellent tour with an excellent guide. We went to many off the beat and path places including an amazing artisan glass place in Murano that had no other tourists. Highly recommend this tour.

Murano/Burano/Torcello exclusive boat tour - Nadia put together a wonderful bespoke trip for our family today! Our 16 year old and 21 year old were thrilled with the adjustments she made to the itinerary suit their interests. The glass artisan we visited was an exclusive find, and lunch in Burano was off the typical tourist path. Boats were beautiful. Definitely the highlight of our visit to Venice!

Worth every $$ - a spectacular day! - Nadia - has a true love for Venice, the people, the places, the buildings. Truly door to door service from our hotel, with fantastic slow tours of a glass factory (your own private tour, incredible!), slow walking Burano and ending up at a perfect lunch spot, where she magically disappears and lets you enjoy the time with your loved ones. Then time on Torcello, which I dont think we ever would have gone, but was one of our favorite experiences in Venice. Yes the price is higher than other tours...but think of it as door to door service, with people waiting for you at each stop to share their skills/loves/labor. Worth every $$. Look forward to our next visit, and for Nadia to show us some other corners of Venice, and encourage us to go "get lost".

Quick Paced Off the Beaten Track Tour - We did a 2 day tour with Nadia. 1 day was the 5 hour off the beaten track tour, including a private water taxi for an hour. And the 2nd day we did the Murano/Burano tours by private water taxi. I most appreciated how she pays for the water taxi’s and cappuccino stops for you, so you aren’t constantly digging money out - then you just pay her back at the end of the tour, her tour price will include all of the transportation prices! So basically she handles all the details to make the day go smoothly. She seems to know a lot of people in town - and stops to talk to them, or introduce you to them….or maybe that is just the Italian way!! The tour moves pretty quickly, so if you are a picture taker, like me, always have your camera ready to go, because you’ll be lagging behind trying to get certain pictures…and in Burano, there will be a ton you want to take!! Thanks again for a quick 2 day introduction to Venice and the surrounding area. I also liked how the tours are done between 10-4 at the latest…that way if you want to go back to anywhere specific, you’ll have time after the tour ends. The tour prices may seem high, but don’t forget that private water taxi’s and gondola’s are very expensive!! You will see a lot of picture worthy back alley’s and not have to worry about getting lost!! Oh, if you go to Burano, the restaurant she booked for our lunch was phenomenal!!! One of our top 2 meals on our 2 week vacation to Northern Italy!!

A true friend in Venice! - What a wonderful day we had with Nadia! The entire experience was beautifully curated, We opted to tour 2 islands, Murano and Burano. We visited the best glass art studio in Murano, followed by a walking tour and visit to a prestigious lace store and workshop in Burano. Nadia knows the best places to see and everyone seems to know her too! She even introduced us to the cook at the restaurant she'd recommended for lunch. Nothing is rushed and everything was lovely. Nadia made our day special and we are so glad we chose her tour!

It was fun to see the... - It was fun to see the islands, but this tour was very limiting, from the description, I thought that we would have freedom once we got to the islands to choose where we go. They took us to one glass factory on Murano, it was clearly a partnership; they chose the restaurant we went to on Torcello, which was average and we got very little time in Burano, my favorite of the three. Our guide was great, i'm sure she was bound by a predetermined itinerary. Just wish the description had been more detailed so we knew ahead of time what we were getting into.
