It was a Saturday, so very busy in Venice. This tour was recommended by a friend before I left home. They were right! Got us on a leisurely cruise to close islands about 30 minutes away. The glass blowing in murano was amazing and the attached museum and pieces for sale was outstanding! Go all the way through the shops and walk around the square. Burano is known for lace and linens and there were plenty of tent shops as well as storefronts along your path. It must have been wash your undies day as every apartment had underwear stretched out apartment to apartment! Enjoy yourself and definitely get a gelato while there!

We were supposed to tour a glass factory and were dropped off at the pier with no direction on where to go or what to do. We did not see a working factory but only the most touristy area of the island. We sat on the lower deck of the boat because of the wind. The guide was on the top deck so we could not hear a thing she said. Overall, we paid for a windy boat ride.

Views were very nice to capture during this boat tour although it was hard to hear the guide talking during the tour from the speakers. We were seated outside on the boat. There is an option to sit inside as well.

Enjoyed Murano very much. Most of the time was spent at the glass factory which was fun but would have preferred walking around the town a little more. We had a wonderful time.

The visit was pleasant. Murano and Burano are similar to Venice. Murano more intimate, Burano colorful. Many tourists flock to them.

I gave it to stars, because the glass blowing example was very interesting. However, I would suggest getting a water, taxi pass, and visiting the islands on your own. The little guidance they gave on the tour was very difficult to hear.
