We enjoyed watching the glass blowing demonstration in Murano, beautiful coloured houses in Burano, little bit quieter and less things to see and do in Torcello but a good amount of time spent on each island and very friendly people wherever we went. The information says 4 people but it was a boat of more than 50 but that wasn't a problem. About 5 different languages we're spoken by the tour guides and a nice amount of information about the areas was given. Overall, we were glad we went and it was a lovely day out.

we booked the 3 island trip but I would recommend only doing the 2 island trip as I felt torcello was not as an interesting island. the other 2 island are well worth a visit

for the price that we paid it was a great value. It’s a huge group but all info is given while you are on the boat and then you have free time to walk the islands. Murano and Burano were fun . I would skip Torcello , but it’s just me and my preferences. you might enjoy it . Isabella ( our guide) was a superwoman: she guided all people at once and spoke 5 languages. All info was offered in 5 languages. overall: lovely experience

We had planned this and my wife was looking forward to it, found it a bit under whelming after main other sights of Venice and sadley it started to rain, but we did enjoy the glass blowing on Murano and the church on Torcello.

The first 2 islands Murano and Burano were simply stunning. We could have spent the whole day on either. The 3rd island was OK for a quick stop but not much there.
