Beautiful views of Murano and Burano islands. A bit messy to find the actual Lagoon group tour, but once you see the big boat with the name on the tour details is clear that you are in the right place.

Murano factory demonstration was very nice. Burano island is very beautiful but when we went it was raining a lot so we could not enjoynit as much

Take this trip if you don’t want to know history off information about Murano and Burano. Advertised that this tour would be in English. But instead it was in English, Italian, French and Spanish with no breaks in between the language and English pronunciation was bad to the point that the only thing we recognized that she said was “on the right” “on the left” and what time to return to boat. No info or history about why the buildings are painted different colors or anything. Would love the history and information about where I’m visiting and paid to tour.

Murano was dull. Just a lesser version of Venice. The glass blowing was very brief with way too many people crammed into the same room at one time followed by a cheap attempt to sell glass products. The tour wasn’t really guided; just a few very brief occasional explanations along the way. The ‘guide’ was difficult to understand. Too much time was spent on the slow boat that had no working toilet. Burano was a beautiful town. You’re best off just sailing directly to Burano.

The islands were beautiful! Pleasant boat ride, lots to see. Need a water closet in the boat. Announcements were in multiple languages!
