Climb aboard a boat with a professional guide for a half-day tour around Venice islands. Enjoy the islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello in the heart of the northern lagoon, and discover a more authentic Venice side.

It was a great trip and reasonably priced.
It is helpful to be next to yellow kiosk when the tour guide starts walking to the boats ( she holds a flag), so that you do not get lost in the crowd. There were enough people to fill up two boats.
The glass demonstration in Murano was great, Burano was charming and Torcellp’s Byzantine church interesting.

I liked that the boat staff were very professional and punctual. They put up signs for the departures which helped to re-enforce the timing in the event that someone didn’t hear the announcement on the PA system. I would have liked more time on Both Murano and Burano islands.

They gave us time to explore the islands. The commentary on the boat by the guide about the different island/scenery along the route is very helpful.

Company is Very Viva Venice - very professional and pleasant staff, taking us to all the places mentioned with sufficient time to see everything. Only recommendation is stick close to your group because some including myself ended up getting lost, missed the boat in Torcello, had to take local ferry for an additional 3 hours.

IT was very nice but the amount of time you had to explore each Island was way to short. You only had about 45 minutes to an hour to see the places. Tocello was nice because there was not much to see so so the time was ok.
Murano & Burano you need about half a day at each place to really see & explore.......sooooo much to see there!

We really looked forward to seeing the glass factories in Murano. Instead, they take you to ONE place, you get a short demonstration, then you're hustled into the ONE shop to buy pieces much inferior to what you'll see in Venice ... and then the boat leaves!! NO TIME IN MURANO! Burano is a small village full of street side souvenir shops. Not very interesting -- you have about 45 minutes. Torcello has NOTHING but a restaurant! you'll spend about an hour waiting around to go back.
Skip this tour, find a boat to take you to Murano so you can really see what the island has to offer.

The tour was great and well organised however wish there was more time in Murano. Personally Torcello was a waste of time with nothing to much to see or do. So would recommend just doing a tour covering Murano & Burano with the most time in Murano to shop for the lovely glass....

The staff was great, the hostess on the bus was absolutely adorable and charming, but the man at the desk check-in was awful, very stressed and rude for no reason. We were 10 minutes late but the boat was late too, so there was no need to be rude or make us sprint to the boat.
The tour itself is very cute and interesting but it could use more spare time to tour the islands. On Murano you have the time to watch two glass making techniques, tour the shop to find a souvenir and it's already time to go back to the boat. We saw almost nothing of Torcello, a quick walk by the canal, up and down a bridge and the outside of a church. But in Burano the demonstration takes only a few minutes so you get a good half hour to walk around the streets and enjoy the island.
