White Glove Service to see Murano and Burano. - Our guide Elisa was very nice and very knowledgeable, she took very good care of our family.
The only downside is that after the impressive demonstration by the glassmaster in Burano, we were taken to see the Shop/Museum to be presented piece ranging from 1thousands of euros to over 100,000 euros for over 20 minutes… I don’t mind the commercial angle, but I will not shop for art with my family during a private tour of Murano. We should have told Elisa much earlier to get out much faster; I think we could have better spent that time visiting either Island.
I would still recommend the tour.

Pleasant surprise! - Our trip to Murano was very interesting; we learned about the art and beauty of glass blowing.
Burano, on the other hand was a very pleasant visit to a beautiful town, so different to Venice! Colorful, pleasant to walk, cozy little shops, and of course, the art of lace. It’s wonderful and worth it!
Cristina, our guide, was exceptional!

Incredible Murano and Burano! - Monica was amazing! Such a fun tour of Murano and Burano. Seeing a master create a piece of glass art and hearing Monica who knew so much about it was incredible. We learned so much information about the two islands… and even though the day started out rainy, it quickly turned to sun and it was beautiful. The extra time paid for in Burano to have lunch at one of her recommendations was great because it was an amazing meal!

Great tour! - We really liked our guide Silvia. She was sweet and good with kids. It was a hot day and the kids did not start out with the greatest amount of energy, but Silvia was patient and related to them gently. We enjoyed the glass factory which was a hit. Burano was a bit slower and not as much to see or do for kids, but they enjoyed the walked through the garden. Overall, recommend!

Perfect way to see the islands. - Great way to see Murano and Burano quickly! They were must visits while in Venice. Beatrice our guide was kind and very attentive. She catered the day to our speed with our kids. The end of the tours are the hard sell for their goods, but worth it!

The only way to see Murano/Burano - We wanted a private tour of Murano and Burano and stayed by the airport so needed hotel pickup. This was one of only a couple willing to drive to our hotel. Sure, we paid extra for the pickup but we didnt have to hassle with busses and trains and boats. Monica was our guide and she was simply OUTSTANDING!!!! They even booked us a a 4 star restaurant on Burano and it was excellent. Every aspect of this tour was just beyond our expectations. This is a reliable company you can trust!!!!

Great excursion - What a great excursion with Kristina on the Murano/Burano trip. Venice is amazing - but also VERY hectic with all the tourists. The excision was a nice break from the hustle and crowds in Venice.
Kristina met us at the hotel and walked us to the private water taxi and started the tour immediately. Great info on the way to Murano and the history of the whole area. The bay. The glass blowing. All of it.
They we headed to Burano via private water taxi and had a really nice time on a much quieter island with great amenities. We took time to enjoy a drink with Kristina while she explained the area and how it all works on Burano.
Then a nice trip back to Venice.
Think the whole trip was about 4 hours which was perfect for us. I know the price may look high but when you factor that could include up to 6 people the private aspects of it made it much much nicer vs the larger groups with the earpieces etc. don’t get me wrong those are great too but a little break like this in the trip was well received.

A Local's Perspective - Our guide, Monica, was an absolute pleasure - very knowledgeable, charismatic and patient life-long Venetian. She also helpfully advised us on local dining options and went out of her way to walk us to one of the places she had suggested for lunch at the end of our tour.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Murano and Burano and can't wait to return to Venice.
