Murano & Burano Islands Half Day Guided Tour by Private Boat

Our guide, Serena, was very kind and knows a lot about Venice and the different islands. She was very professional and answered all our questions with knowledge and humour.

Excellent trip; despite only 4 people signing up they still ran the trip (normally there is a minimum of 15 people) - we thoroughly enjoyed all aspects and had plenty of time around the organised elements to explore the two towns

Rushed tour but still enjoyed it. Would have liked more time at leisure, Just had 40 min. Would have rather have more time

Serena, our guide, makes us learn about Venice and the Italian culture. Lot of advice, visits with smile

An amazing tour guide. Knowledgable and funny. Can’t wait to come back and do another one with Cristina again.

A fabulous way to see the islands surrounding Venice. Our guide Chiara was so professional, enthralling, and friendly. The island are stunning and this is a fantastic way to see them and learn about the history surrounding them. A must do trip when you visit Venice. Elaine & Tommy

We had an amazing trip. We were around 10 people on a nice boat which werw definitely not too much. It still felt private. Our guide Francesca was speaking fluent English and was great! The presentation in Murano was very impressive and also the guide there spoke fluent English and was entertaining. We had enough time on both islands. Maybe not enough for a whole lunch but for snacking and coffee and exploring the islands!

The tour was excellent. It was an appetizer to two small towns I would love to visit again. This was my 5th time in Venice and unbelievably the first time I’ve seen these two islands. The tour guide Cristina was so knowledgable.

What a a fantastic tour! The tour guide was absolutely excellent and very knowledgeable. The private boat was very nice and felt quite luxurious. I would have liked a little more time in Burano though. That island is just lovely - some more time to explore and actually sit for a nice lunch would have been appreciated. I could have easily spent 4 hours there. The glass blowing demonstration on Murano was really great and interesting to watch. My only negative point that I have to emphasize to the tour operator is about being bustled into the New Murano Glass Factory/Gallery, and feeling like you can't leave without buying something. There was a salesman that latched onto my husband and I, and was always "around". It would have been nice to consider it as a gallery and just browse and admire the pieces without feeling like a derelict or as though you need to buy something super pricey. But this didn't seem possible, and I was almost embarrassed that I only bought a little glass ornament for 50euro. The prices were so over inflated there, and although everything was incredibly beautiful, I can't understand the justification to pay that much for glass - not even crystal or something that retains value over time. There are a lot of really nice pieces in the shops in Venice and they're much lower in price. I break glass way too easily, so it would never be worth it for me. But other than the above point, the tour was fantastic and highly recommended.

Excellent tour! Highly recommend. The glass blowing was so awesome to see. Selena was an excellent guide, giving us fun information on not just the island tour, but Venice itself. She really made the trip enjoyable !
