Walk and charming visits - Very pleasant boat ride. Everything is nice: from the glassblower in Murano to the walk in Burano. Village so charming and magical. And our guide was adorable. Grazie!

Go for it - It was good. Our specific boat wasn’t too overcrowded so when we got to the glass factory there was plenty of room to see. The factory shop has some pretty hilarious pricing for products. Burano was beautiful. The tour itself was punctual. We had 30 mins free roaming in Murano and about 1 hour in Burano. For us it was enough time.

A nice excursion in optimal time! - Well organized tour and great islands. We were very lucky with the weather. What was great was that the information was told in many languages!

Well worth it!! - Ignore the negative reviews - we were a little dubious after reading ‘they left without us’ or ‘difficult to find’! It’s anything but…….very clear instructions which if you follow you simply cannot go wrong! Brilliantly well organised and let’s not forget ‘you get what you pay for’ - for circa £25 each, to have a 6hr trip by water visiting three islands, experiencing a Murano glass demonstration, onto the stunning colourful fisherman’s island of Burano …… what more could you ask for. Outstanding experience 10/10

On time, comfortable... - On time, comfortable transportation. The glass blowing and trip to Burano are nice. There is no interpretation other than the glass blowing.

Basic - The visit to Murano very simple, and the visit to Bhutan is very impersonal, there is no brochure, indicating a map or aspects of the site; it becomes all commercial concepts

An effective way to see the 3 islands in a reasonable time. - 4/5 because the transport all ok , the info all ok but there was nothing more, a transport done well with info in the outward journey but all in all satisfactory, to do!

They basically just give you a ride. - They ran on time. They were clear with directions. They impressively said things in five languages. But basically all they do is give you a ride which you could do cheaper and more relaxed on your own. The first island you do see a glass blowing demonstration, but it’s five minutes and you see it with 100 other people in bleachers from a bit far away. But you can’t see it. That’s the only thing you see on the island besides the shop, which isn’t any more exciting than any of the other glass blowing shops. They basically just give you a ride.
