Great for Transportation to Murano and Burano - We went into this booking aware that it is primarily a form of transportation rather than a formal tour and we were so happy to have booked a dedicated boat to visit the two islands rather than managing the public transportation. Would highly recommend using this service as transportation to visit the islands of Murano and Burano!

Great day out seeing other Venetian islands. - The trip was very organised and punctual with ample seating for everyone. The commentary was helpful too and was provided in five languages, Italian, English, Spanish, French & German. Staff were very polite and helpful too. We thought the trip was great value for money and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

Amazing Half Day Trip For the Cost ! - This was truly great experience and great cost! If you’re looking for a half day trip to the islands, this is definitely the one. Although you don’t get more then an hour / hour and a half per island , in my opinion , i don’t think you need more than that. Please make sure to study the meet up location Google maps prior to departure as it could be a bit confusing.

Glass craftsman very good. - The Murano tour i took in 2008 was much better. Watching craftsman make objects was best part. Other island didn't have as much lace as I expected to see.

NO worth it - NO wonder DE a $25 DE Murano tour was ridiculous, though. EN the description says 1 hour 15, EN the same paper you DAN when registering says that but nothing to see. They were 50 minutes DE DE dordor EN the island, but you have to rescue the DEMONSTRATION time and the shop tour. The effective time EN Murano ES like 30 minutes, time for practically nothing. NO need to hire the tour, if you go POR yourself you may miss the demonstration but it is more worth enjoying the island.

I probably had overly... - I probably had overly high expectations about the island of Murano — there was nothing particularly special there, and the prices for glassware were two to three times higher than what you can find in Venice (if you go outside the touristy areas). But there was an interesting demonstration about how glass and glass products are made, which was worth seeing. Burano is a very beautiful island and definitely worth visiting. Torcello didn’t leave a strong impression.

Tour - Nice boat ride. Basically just drop off at two locations but didn't need more. Wouldn't say much English or description of islands.

Trip to Venice to forget - Before arriving at the boarding at 3pm and the return 24e30 we had to walk a 1km cycle path while the other groups directly at the boarding. 3 hours of navigation, 150 people 1 bath only and that can not be defined as such. They crammed us like chickens into 8 each bench. Rice with fish like Buotoni and fried shrimp and squid that was inedible Cost of fingers 145€ Experience not to be repeated
