A taste of amazing artistry - We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Frederico, was thorough, funny, and considerate of our goals for the day. We had plenty of time to shop, explore, and ask questions. The meet up was exactly where it is listed and each leg was the experience was on time (even though we needed extra time while purchasing items in Murano). At the end he offered recommendations for local eateries and pubs. We went to 2 of the restaurants he recommended and both were phenomenal. We even saw him at the lunch spot with his family! I can't imagine going to Venice and not going to Murano and Burano now that we've been. Absolutely add these stops to your itinerary!

Unforgettable Tour of Murano and Burano! - Our tour to the Murano and Burano islands was an incredible experience, made even more special by our fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, engaging, and full of personality, they brought the rich history and culture of the islands to life with stories and insights that went far beyond the typical tourist script. The Prosecco served onboard was a delightful touch, and cruising through the Venetian lagoon to the sounds of Stevie Wonder created a relaxed, joyful vibe that made the whole day feel magical. Murano’s glass-blowing demonstration was mesmerizing, and Burano’s colorful charm was picture-perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore these iconic islands. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun, authentic, and memorable adventure off the coast of Venice!

Loved Burano! - We really enjoyed the trip. I expected to love Morano but wasn’t anticipating how much we would Burano. The choice to give us more time there was a good one.

Well worth the trip! - A lovely little trip to the islands of Murano and Burano. Our guide, Rachela was informative, spoke very well, and injected plenty of humour into the experience. It was really good seeing the glass blowing, the skill and craftsmanship on display was pretty cool. Lovely wander around Burano with plenty of nice places to eat.

Do not do this tour! - This tour felt like a scam- supposed to be a 5 hour tour leaving at 2:30. The guide arrived at the meeting point at 2:30 and then went to Murano. We had a wonderful glass demonstration- however when we went into the showroom the prices were extremely expensive- and we did not have access to explore the rest of the area as the channel of water between us. We only had an hour here the we went to Burano- here we had full access to wander and shop, but only an hour. We arrived back to the beginning at 6:30 - so our 5 hour tour was only 3 1/2 hours. I really was disappointed to not see more of Murano. I feel cheated and would not recommend this tour and it should be removed from Trip Advisor.

It was okay - It was ok. The glass blowing demonstration was awesome. Other than that it was okay. Burano was only shops and restaurants. It was a cute town but I would not want to go back

More transportation than a tour - This was really transportation rather than a tour. At the Murano facility, we enjoyed a brief glass-blowing demonstration, but the subsequent visit to an enormous glass store felt pushy. (We’d have liked more explanation of the glass-blowing technique. ) The trip to Burano was more like a drop-off in the middle of a (very quaint) shopping district. We had to ask to see the lace museum exhibits.
