This trip was fantastic, loved the glass blowing demonstration in Murano, Burano was great too, Torcello not much there really could of done without visiting that. It was on time and very time efficient. I liked the fact we had free time once we arrived at the Islands to explore at our own leisure. Highly Recommend!! AA++
This tour was great going to the Islands, Torcello could of been left out, not much there really. I liked how you had your own free time to explore the Islands at your own leisure. AAA+++

Very well worth the money! Almost the same price as the normal waterbus but this is a whole tour of islands with a glass making museum and a guide! An absolute recommendation!

It was bit difficult to find the exact location, better to provide google map location to reach fast. Thanks for the tour to allow to get into the next trip though I was late.

the trip was really nice, the Burano stop should be a bit longer, perhaps an extra 30 min, apart from it it was perfect.

The tour was very nice, we had ample amount of time to explore each island. We loved the glassmaking demonstration. The guide seemed knowledgeable but she was very hard to hear over the roar of the boat engine so I missed alot of explanations.

Bellissima gita di 5 ore circa ,noi abbiamo scelto Murano e Burano in modo da poter avere più tempo sulle isolette ed è andata benissimo. Murano abbiamo visto dimostrazione soffiatura vetro e fatto giro veloce nelle viette e a Burano ci siamo lasciate incantare dalle casette colorate e da una signora carinissima che ci ha spiegato l arte del merletto. la guida ci ha fornito durante il viaggio informazioni interessanti. Nel complesso ottima escursione per chi vuole una toccata e fuga veloce per vedere le due isolette molto belle e caratteristiche. Ottima organizzazione per 25 euro direi che non sj può chiedere di più!! Consigliata!!

The activity was fine. However, we couldn’t understand much of what the guide was saying due to the bad speakers on the boat.

It was an overpriced taxi to 3 islands, the glass factory was more expensive than the local shops so this wasn't pleasant to see after we spent money, one of the islands Torcello really was not worth visiting, there is practically nothing on it.

Pésimo, nunca llegó al la estación el guía me intenté comunicar muchas veces y ni una respuesta, tuve que ir a la oficina de los tickets a recibir información pero solo te dan el ticket y nada como ahí decía que te reunías con el guía y por esperar respuesta perdí el ferri les hace falta más comunicación o ponerlo en la descripción y por ende perdí una gran oportunidad de visitar el lugar, gracias por nada

La gita e' stata molto bella, il tempo e' poco per girare le isole..ma la cosa che ritengo utile e' dare una mappa per rientrare in barca. A BURANO ci siamo confuse e siamo andate al lato opposto rischiando di perdere l'imbarco...Consiglio di dare ai passeggeri una mappa. Comunque bella...la rifarei

I was a little confused about how and where to meet the group since it was a busy boat terminal, but the staff was extremely helpful and walked us to the ticket counter. I showed them the tickets on my phone and they checked us in immediately and gave us perfect instructions to get on the boat. It was seamless and so easy! The tour itself was great! We had plenty of time in each port, and even had time to climb the tower in Torcello to see the Dolomites! Great trip..highly recommend!!

I did the three islands. On Murano, there is a short glass-blowing demo, and then they guide you to the showroom. If you’re not gonna buy glassware, it’s not worth it. Next was Torcello, which is a big nothing. Seriously, do not waste your time. I’m not sure why it’s even an option because there is nothing there. Burano was last, and it was the only one that was worth the trip. The guide spoke on the boat in three languages throughout the voyage, but the boat motor was so loud I couldn’t make out what was being said. I would not recommend this tour.
