Rachel was a fantastic guide, with great sense of humour! Boat captain sailed professionally and safely. Glass blowing demo was interesting and they are very clever. Didn't buy any Murano as very expensive. Burano was lovely and had great Fritto Misto at Al Banky. Picturesque island of painted houses and nice to wander around. Well delivered tour and we enjoyed it!

We had torrential rain all day on the day of the trip so the itinerary could not be as described. However our guide Rachel made the trip very entertaining for us and helped us forget the horrendous weather ! Well done her for making us smile under difficult circumstances. We still had a great day 😀
