Worth the money and great way to avoid crowds - Elanora was a fantastic tour guide. Having a private tour was fantastic as was the private boat. The glass blowing demonstration was amazing

Awesome. - This was absolutely marvelous! It was a totally private tour and the guy was so wonderful. We had the boat to ourselves and they were so funny and nice. The glass museum tour was also absolutely excellent. I can’t recommend this enough.

Murano/Burano a must see! - Overall we had a really fantastic time. We went to the Murano glass blowing factory to start. We had a tour of the facilities including observing of their master glass blowers making a variety of objects. In particular, the made a glass cup and a small glass figurine of a cat. The craftsmanship was incredible. We then went through their showcase of different glass sculptures/items etc and you could just look or you could purchase these items. From there, we got back on the boat to Burano and viewed the quaint little community of different colored houses. Shops also lined the streets and you were able to buy some trinkets. We had lunch at a local recommended restaurant and we had some delicious seafood. At the conclusion we were taken back to Venice. Federico was our tour guide and he was great.. very informative, very engaging and he definitely made the experience fly by! Would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent Guide and Tour - This tour was excellent. The guide knew these islands well and the private taxi rides were very nice. The native Venetian guide spoke perfect English and did not have an accent, so for the first time since we have been in Europe for the last 4 weeks, we understood every word she said - and she was quite knowledgeable and very fun to be around.

No regrets, worth every penny. - Eleonora and the experience was amazing, I dare say perfect. It’s a great way to see the islands, and get a different perspective of Venice in a matter of 4 hours. They picked us up at our AIRBNB, and dropped us off then walked us back. Eleonora was happy to talk history, fun facts, general topics with us from beginning to end. The conversations felt very welcoming and questions about Italy, Venice, history, culture more than welcomed for the duration of our time. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide and experience… not to mention boat driver!

The guide was excellent.... - The guide was excellent. She really knew the history of the islands and the culture of the people. The boat was beautiful and the driver was outstanding. We would have preferred to spend more time casually walking through Murano. Although Burano is beautiful and a must see, it’s very crowded and the experience wasn’t as pleasant as Murano.

Relaxing half day visit to three of Venice's islands. - Short glass making demonstration, then extended showroom experience, but no historical (museum type) context apart from guide's information. No time to enter church on Torcello. Burano was beautiful but no sign of lace making. Guide was knowledgable and helpful
