A very good excursion and definitely worth doing!! We were not sure about this excursion, but are so glad we did it. Burano was beautiful. We enjoyed the Murano glass exhibition and the church built in 639 AD on Torcello is quite the site! The guide was impressively explaining in Italian and in English, but her English was rushed and difficult to understand.

The trip was really nice but a little bit fast forward, 4.5 hours is not enough to fully enjoy the experience. Also recomand to La Vacanza Travel to explain better the meeting&departure point and time, the instructions are not so clear.
