What a great trip!!! So worth the price. The boat ride was great and glass blowing demonstration was very cool. Our tour guide Francesca was the very best, she went above and beyond to get us a water taxi at the end of our tour to make sure we caught our train. Recommend this tour highly!

Amazing trip to Murano and Burano - there was plenty of space on the boat to choose whether to sit upstairs or downstairs. The tour guide told us lots of interesting things on route to our destination (and spoke around 5 languages to cater for everyone on the trip). We had plenty of time at each destination and it was great to see the glass making in action. The trip was in the morning, so we still felt we had our afternoon that day to carry on exploring Venice! Perfect trip if you’re only there for a few days.

Isabel and the rest of the crew were very kind and helpful. I was impressed by Isabel’s range of languages and was able to help and speak to everyone. The trip was very good for the price as it included a glass making exhibition and we were even shown the cheap restaurants in Burano whcih was a bonus. We were also give ample time on each small island and I loved how we were given information as we were sailing. Would 100% recommend to any other traveller. Thank you!
