We were greeted by the lovely Alessandra who was our guide throughout the day. Being a smaller more intimate group was a perfect way to travel as we all felt like being with friends. The boat was of excellent quality and our captain also very charming. Alessandra was very informative and had a great sense of humour. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have no hesitations in recommending this trip. Top tip: when you go to Torcello do spend the extra Euros and go in to the church (to be fair you probably won't every go back but why not "do it properly" when you are actually there?!). It's the beginnings of Venice and in this old modest church you will see much more basic mosaics to the exquisite Basilica but you can't help but noticing the similarities.

I love photographing interesting architecture, and Burano was a hit. Christina was an excellent guide, and the private boat was fabulous. We even bought a chandelier at the glass gallery in Murano.

We booked this tour to help us get regional flavor. Alessandra Perucci was an excellent guide who kept us interested the whole time. She was a delightful host to help us know what to expect as we enjoyed the glass factory demonstration and the quiet of Torcello. Burano was colorful and fun, but we could have skipped the lace demo and not really missed much. Allessandra also went out of her way for us; there was a regatta at tour's end that made us return to northern dock not St Mark's... and she walked us through Venice back to St Mark's still pointing out things of interest and answering questions, even though unrelated to our purchased tour.

This was definitely one of the best memories of our travel to Venice. The glass demonstration and tour at the New Murano Gallery was mindblowing. What they produce there is amazing. Burano was also great with the visit to the lace making shop, and Torcello was beautiful. The highlight of the tour was Christina, our guide, and I'd give her a 10. It's clear she is passionate about Venice and these islands, and the info she imparted was phenomenal. Would highly recommend.

Our 10/20/2019 tour was excellent. Small group and covered a lot of area in a short amount of time. To do it all on your own would require a lot more time, effort and waiting for transport. If interested in purchasing products, the tour helps with discounts. Our guide Alessandra was personable, helpfull, knowledgeable, delightfull, and understandable (the accents always throw me). The only drawback is you might not have all the time you want in any particular area. You would have to return on your own via water taxi or the water bus (usually slow and crowded). Highly recommend this tour and guide.
