Excursion to do during a stay in Venice! Demonstration of a very instructive glassblower in Murano, favorite in Burano (free time to visit), less interest in Torcello ... Pleasant return at sunset with a magic view of Venice ...

5 out of 5 stars

The visit to Murano was a bit too fast especially during carnival when the streets are crowded. The glass factory was interesting although it too was a bit too fast in my opinion. Burano and Torcello were very pretty.

5 out of 5 stars

I really liked Murano and Burano but I think it was too little time for Murano. The guide, Alessia, was excellent!

5 out of 5 stars

It was really nice however more time should be given in Burano. We were given 1 hour each in Murano and Burano.

5 out of 5 stars
