Murano glass making factory was amazing. Definitely a must see! Lace maker in Burano was also very interesting. Our guide was very helpful

What a fabulous day, at the right pace! Our first tour guide Paola, what she didn’t know wasn’t worth hearing, she was passionate and very knowledgeable. The shared content was pitched at the right level, keeping most people’s attention at all times, despite sometimes a crowded space. Vanya in the afternoon, was also fabulous and we had space on the islands to do our own thing. Definitely glad we did this trip, we would highly recommend to anyone of any age.

The tour of the stunning St Mark’s basilica and the Doge palace was the highlight thanks to an exceptional guide in Felipe (spelling?). During the trip to the islands we were in the very capable hands of Alyssa and Francesca - we throughly enjoyed the visit to the new Murano Glass Art Gallery which includes a factory tour and a quick tutorial on glass blowing. And yes we love the Burna visit as well in spite of the rainy/stormy conditions thanks to our very able guides. The Gondola ride was brief but helpful in getting another perspective on Venice.

Marco was an excellent guide for our morning at the Palace and Cathedral. So knowledgeable and humorous. Cecelia was engaging and a good guide for Murano and Burano. The gondola was a special treat and must do in Venice. The whole day ran smoothly and was well organised. It gives a good overview of Venice highlights in a day. Good value for money.

Upon arrival we were told they had our reservation scheduled for the following day, and after checking the tickets on the phone, confirmation emails and all other places they could think to have me look it up, they finally said that I was right and it was supposed to be that day. They were finally able to accommodate us. We went on the boat ride to Murano and Burano first and it was fantastic with a great guide. We got an email part way through the morning saying the afternoon was canceled due to closures and that we would get a refund for half of our reservation. None of the sites were closed and we did everything on our own that afternoon without the group and for much less money. It was a complete scam and headache from the start with this group.
