Burano was the highlight of the trip. Torcello should be switched to the first island followed by Murano and Burano as the final destination

The islands are beautiful well worth seeing, but the trip not worth. Take the water bus and don't rush. There was no toilet working on the boat. The glass blowing factory changed nearly twice as much for items as you could buy in any shop in Venice. Paid extra to book here I get this app needed to make money but that should come from the providor. Not a great experience

The onboarding for the boat was complete chaos. There were so many people there we needed to take two boats, we got to the front of the line to board the first boat and then we were told the boat was filled and needed to get back in line and we were now at the end of the line. The crew had no idea we would need two boats… if they knew they should have split us in to 2 groups.

We visited the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello in September, the trip was well worth every penny. Murano with its beautiful glassmaking industry and small cafes was a delight, we then went on to Burano with its brightly coloured houses and lace manufacturing which was fascinating, and where we had a light lunch overlooking the lagoon enjoying a glass of rose. Then on to Torcello to visit the old cathedral which was interesting, and another glass of rose! A lovely day trip in glorious weather.

The tour feels a little rushed, especially on Murano. Would like to have spent a little more time there. Burano is something special.
