Venice: Semi-Private Murano & Burano Islands Water Taxi Experience

We really enjoyed our Murano & Burano semi-private tour, and a big part of what made the experience so enjoyable was our guide, Dalila. From the beginning, Dalila gave us a great overview of the day, along with plenty of interesting information about the history of Venice and the different islands we visited and passed along the way in the water taxi. Murano was fascinating. The glass-blowing demonstrations were incredibly skilful and impressive to watch, although we were genuinely a little sad to see the beautiful dolphin and cat created during the demonstration being put back into the kiln at the end! The showroom afterwards was filled with beautiful pieces, and we managed to find a few lovely items to take home with us. Burano was equally memorable. The colourful houses lining the canals are beautiful and provide endless opportunities for photographs. What really stood out, though, was Dalila herself. During the trip my wife began feeling unwell, and Dalila was extremely attentive.
