Lovely day trip from Venice! Overall, the experience was great. The group was small, 11 of us total. The tour guide was informative and fun. The boat was comfy and relaxing. It was nice that the same boat is used throughout the day so you can leave items on the boat between trips. The amount of time in Burano was perfect to explore and grab a quick lunch. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because the description is inaccurate. It says that we will visit the church in Murano and also be able to have time to stroll the streets. We were only able to go to the glass factory on Murano and left immediately after for Burano.

Great trip. For the money it was a great way to see Murano and Burano. Perfect time. Glass factory was cool but tried to sell you glass that was really expensive. 80’dollars per drinking glas but besides that it was very cool to watch. We were 2 out of 10 people on the tour. Would recommend if you wanted to see the 2 islands!

Excellent experience from start to finish. Was easy to find the guide at the front of the church. There was a really interesting commentary whilst we travelled to boat between the locations. Enough time exploring ourselves too. The highlight of our trip to Venice. Many thanks.
