What people are saying about Torcello

Overall rating

4.1
(13,888 reviews)

The day was filled with color, friendly people and information about the history of the islands. The shopping was great although we could have used more time on Murano. I particularly loved Burano. So colorful and the shops were very genuine with excellent quality and helpful shop keepers. Torcello was surprisingly interesting. Made some friends on the boat so we continued the celebration with dinner in San Marco. A great day!

Everything was fine except for the pointless ferry strike. We had to leave the Lido on Thursday and look for another hotel in Venice and use the San Marco car park, which was very expensive. The strike is being carried out entirely on the backs of the tourists. Otherwise it was a lovely holiday worth seeing, with sun every day and pleasant temperatures. Kind regards

Very easy check in, perfect communication, very comfortable boat, plenty of free time, excellent and very friendly guide, all in all a memorable trip

What a great way to enjoy each island and see what they have to offer. Great experience and guide explanation was good. Always run on time.

Carl was fun, knowledgeable and personable. He was charismatic and great at his job. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommend.
