During this tour you will discover the main islands of the lagoon having a lot of time at your disposal. The tour starts from Piers 1, 2 and 3 in front of Palazzo Cornoldi in Riva degli Schiavoni, 4142. Once onboard the boat, you will begin sailing heading to Murano, where you will stop for one hour and 15 minutes. Here you will have the chance to visit one of the island’s glassworks and attend a demonstration of a master glassmaker. The second stop of this day tour to the Venetian islands will be Burano with its colorful houses. (approx 2 hour)
The last stop will be Torcello, where the Venetian civilization was born (1 hour).Today Torcello has just over 10 inhabitants but its historical and artistic testimonies make it a very popular destination for visitors from all over the world.
There is one last surprise: the return trip: the itinerary of the boat will allow you to enjoy a splendid panoramic view of the Venetian lagoon.
The tour ends where it started.

We thoroughly enjoyed our days boat trip to the Islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. All so beautiful. Murano with its stunning glass (I could of spent a fortune), Burano with its colourful buildings and s really laid back vibe. Then the calmness of Torcello, very pretty with a lovely church to visit. The tour was well organised, the meeting point was easy to find also. We had s lovely day.

The schedules are well kept, the boats are very punctual, but the engines are so noisy that you hardly hear the comments...
We pay for the excursion to benefit from the guide, instead of simply using the boats Public buses, But they do not give any information during the visits And they do not guide the excursions along the streets canals churches....

While the concept of this tour was excellent, the day I went fell far below my expectations. Firstly, and this is not the fault of the tour group, the weather was awful, and a lot of this tour happens outside, so it is worth checking the forecast before you book. Additionally, it was nearly impossible to understand the guides over the ship speakers, and that led to a lot of confusion for the group.

I loved how relaxed and patient the greeter was. We tourists tend to be nervous about reservations, and the greeter just said stand here, we'll leave soon.
The boats were all on time.
The Murano leg of the trip included a glassblowing demo. They also take you through the giftshop, but there's no pressure to make a purchase.
The Burano leg is just as friendly. The lace-making demo is optional, and don't try the Bussola, the traditional pastry/cookies of Burano because you won't stop eating them!
Torcello is the last leg of the tour, and it's very relaxing, especially if you have kids. There's plenty of open spaces for them to play.

Informative glass factory tour in Murano, not enough time in Burano, waste of time in Torcello! Overall good day out!

The instructions to find the Piers were great and we had no trouble at all. Somebody was on the pier to meet people about half an hour before and we boarded about 10 minutes before.
The boat was ok. Some of the chairs had broken seats and the toilet wasn't very clean. Fortunately the journeys between islands were only about 30 minutes.
Our tour guide was brilliant and the time given for each island was perfect. We had plenty of time to explore Burano and our daughter was blown away by the glass demonstration in Murano. We could have perhaps had a bit longer in Torcello see the museum and other sites.
Overall we really enjoyed the day and it was good value for money. Would recommend.

When I was working, I searched for Hiroshima specialties, and one of the candidates was "Kakiden" located north of the station. After arriving, I walked around the restaurants in the station facility in the afternoon to fill my stomach, but the various stores were crowded and many were lined up. I thought about buying an ekiben here and eating it somewhere else, but the conger eel bento was expensive, and I suddenly remembered that the conger eel rice at the store I had stocked was around 1000 yen, so I left the crowded Masu and was guided by the map on my smartphone to "Kakiden". It was after 13:00, so I was able to find a seat here right away, and ordered a set of conger eel rice and fried oysters, which I think was 1250 yen. The conger eel rice was steamed and served in a wabba, and I was very satisfied. I liked it so much that I visited it again in the evening. Thinly sliced conger eel and sake, and before that, I had a beer... I had the impression that there were a lot of locals there both during the day and at night, but if you're traveling, I'd like to introduce this place, which is just a short walk away after getting off the Shinkansen. It's cheap, delicious, and the customer service is very pleasant, and they will welcome you even if you're alone. I'll introduce what I ate at lunch and dinner with photos.

Checking in at the pillars was a bit bumpy until we found the guide, but then everything was perfect. The multilingual tour guide (including German) took time for everyone. GREAT! We visited all 3 islands. Murano tour of a glass factory was good and interesting, perhaps a little more time would have been good - Burano is well worth seeing - Torcello is just a small island and has less to offer.

I enjoyed seeing the different cultures and their way of life. Since the third island was based on food, I would suggest that this island should be scheduled during a meal time.
