It was a very long and nice trip for good money so I would say that it was amazing! It was a little chaotic when we were boarding the boat, and to find the yellow umbrella but it went well for us!

Really nice day out and fantastic work with glassblowing. Both islands were beautiful and a nice walk around. Get plenty of time on each island to have lunch and shopping

Start your journey in a comfortable panoramic boat leaving from the St. Mark's area and reach the island of Murano in around 30 minutes. You will be welcomed to a glass factory to see a glass-blowing demonstration made by a glass master. You can purchase some craft souvenir items in the shop with an exclusive 10% discount.
Head next to Burano Island. Immerse yourself in its quaint and colorful houses for just over an hour. On Burano, admire the fishermen's houses painted in bright colors to find their way home when returning from the sea.
The island is also known internationally for its rare artisan lace.
