The tour felt very special and we loved learning about these island communities. Our guide allied us to linger and wonder without being rushed and we saw more than just the normal tourist areas.”

We had an absolutely wonderful tour with the very best tour guide, Francesca. She picked us up at our hotel and walked us to the waiting boat, which was gorgeous and comfortable for me as I have some mobility issues. While walking , Francesca pointed out things of interest along the way. The trip on the boat across the lagoon was breathtaking and the stops at the islands were at our pace and our pace alone. We never felt rushed at any time. Francesca made great suggestions and even helped us find an item in a local grocery store that our grandson wanted us to bring home for him. Having a private tour made the day very special and we do not hesitate to recommend this way of visiting the islands. All is all, a perfect day on a perfect boat, with the perfect guide.”

Selina, our guide, was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The boat and captain were both top notch. We opted to Torcello, so they "buzzed" the island and told us about it. Very interesting. The displays at both Murano and Burano were great. Loved the Murano glass manufacturing especially.”

This was a wonderful day trip if you are looking to explore Murano and Burano with a private guide and private boat!”

We missed Murano on our first trip to Venice, and so this time with our kids I wanted to make sure it was memorable. Marco's boat was beautiful, and our guide Selina made the day interesting and enjoyable. The tour of the glass making was a highlight! Several original glass artworks will be shipped home as a result. Well worth the money to do a private tour at our own pace.”

This tour was very personal with excellent guide and boat crew. The glass factory was beautiful and we felt we made some nice purchases without pressure and had no need to see other factories. The boat ride was fun and the scenery and information excellent. Highly recommend this excursion.”

Great excursion, even our teenagers had fun. Great way to see the other parts of Venice and get a great feel for the entire area and it’s his. Our guide was great. On time and waiting for us in our hotel lobby near San Marco Square. Very informative and knowledgeable. Definitely worth the price for my wife and myself and our 3 kids aged 12,14, and 16”

My wife and I had a private tour of just Murano and Bruno, we skipped Torcello on advice of our guide Paola and it was a great suggestion. The glass factory and demonstration was great. We purchased something but there was not a lot of pressure to buy. Murano is a beautiful island, very colorful and the lace stores r amazing. But it was all made better but our guide Paola she was the BEST!! Well worth the extra money for a private tour, we saw what we wanted and for as long or as short as we wanted.”

Despite bad weather the tour went smoothly, and the guide was lovely. It would be even better on a good day - not too crowded either.”

Our tour guide was awesome and we are so happy we booked a private tour. We were able to move at our own pace. Loved the history of the outer islands.”

We are a family of 5 and thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip to Murano and Burano, these two islands are definitely a must see while visiting Venice. Our lovely guide, Miss Kitty was fantastic and had an extensive knowledge of Venice. We would highly recommend this fun experience to anyone coming to Venice. Miss Kitty also recommended an awesome restaurant afterwards which was much appreciated. Many thanks.”

This is an excellent tour if you want to escape the crowds in Venice and get out on the water. Mrs. Martinez, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was willing to customize the tour to allow us to spend more time in the areas we were most interested. Murano glass blowing is very special to witness. An added bonus is that one of your group participates. Burano is so beautiful and relaxing. Lace making there is a dying art form so go witness it while there is still time! Everyone in our family loved this tour from age 19 to 65.”
