Lovely Half-Day Around 3 Venetian Islands - Smooth half day tour around the Venice Islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello on the Serenissima Boat. Decent time to spend and explore the islands (could use a little more at Murano (I will tell you why...). Essentially this trip is pretty subsidized by Venice Events who take you right into their Murano showroom pier - you get a fine and quick demonstration of the "glass work" by a Master and then into the showroom. Let's face it - most folks will make some purchase. Thus this takes some time if you really want to see a little more of the Murano island. Then the tour continues onto Burano (see all the colorful houses) and Torcello (take a nice nature walk and see the island). All-in-all still a really nice trip - the guide was very proficient in the 5 languages and was very eloquent in each one describing along. The boat was very nice and clean too. We were lucky that we had a very small group. Lovely way to see around Venice.

Exploration! - Such a great time! Had just enough time at each location to get pics, shop, and explore! Meeting spot was not as stated so had to explore a little but was worth the find!

See this befor it goes away. - My wife and I really enjoyed this excursion. Getting to see a glass blowing presentation was a highlight of the trip. It was the first time I got to see this type of glass blowing. It was amazing watching the creation come to life. I just wish I could have bought the piece made in the demonstration. The store in the factory was mind blowing. Never have I seen such beautiful pieces of glass artwork. I have several pieces in my home but nothing nearly as beautiful as what I got to see. I'm amazed at the level of skill. We then went to Burano and saw a lady creating something with lace. The intricacy of this work is beautiful. My wife did pick up a runner for the dining room table. It's sad that this is soom to become a lost art as the younger generation has no interest in it. See it while you can. We also had a wonderful lunch while in Burano.

Murano/Burano quick visits - The glass blowing demonstration was pretty cool. We were able to do some shopping in the attached store afterwards but otherwise no time to explore the island or other shops. Burano was quaint and quiet compared to Venice. We had time for some shopping and snacks and enough to know we would like to come back for more.

Beautiful Burano - Burano was absolutely beautiful and would go back again. I think a little more time there would have been better but still enjoyed the trip. Murano was a bit rubbish as we thought we would get to have a look round the island but u don’t
