A wonderful trip to the island of Murano with a demonstration of glass blowing. The boat ride was a nice change of pace from walking around the city.

We had time to experience all three islands. We enjoyed the murano glass event and visiting the various shops on the island.

The lace in Burano was beautiful! We picked up several gift items and enjoyed lunch there.

The park in Torcello right as you exit the boat is a great spot to grab a drink and:*} snack and just sit and enjoy the island.

There could be a better check in and boarding experience for the large group. We basically had to walk in a crowded group to the boat. Why not let groups know as they check in which dock to meet at and allow us to form a boarding line?

Overall a great trip and we would do this again.

- The staff was very nice and welcoming.
- The boat is big and nice with lots of space and seats.
- The tour itself is long enough and interesting.

We were a bit late due to a very heavy load on the water bus on the way to the meeting point, yet they were waiting for us and were very nice.

One personal note - me and my family would had rather spend more time on foot either on Murano or Burano, on the account of Torcello, but again, this is a personal preferation. The tour was great nonetheless.

Although the weather was cool, rainy, & windy when we left on the cruise, the sun finally came out, just enough to enjoy walking on the islands. The nice part about the tour was we were able to walk around freely and explore without constantly being in a big group. The glass blowing demonstration was amazing and so was watching one of the local store owners make lace. There were several shops and restaurants to explore. The scenery was fantastic. We certainly enjoyed our tour.

Burano was the highlight of the trip. Torcello should be switched to the first island followed by Murano and Burano as the final destination

The islands are beautiful well worth seeing, but the trip not worth. Take the water bus and don't rush. There was no toilet working on the boat. The glass blowing factory changed nearly twice as much for items as you could buy in any shop in Venice. Paid extra to book here I get this app needed to make money but that should come from the providor. Not a great experience

Murano in January in the cool, crowded to take the boat from Venice to Murano.
Arriving by boat, a man lures you to come and visit the premises of the Glassworks, once there you have to pay 5 euros to see the glass blower.
We decide to go out quickly.
Paid WC next to the disembarkation.
We walked along the quays in Murano, glassware shops that all look the same.

The onboarding for the boat was complete chaos. There were so many people there we needed to take two boats, we got to the front of the line to board the first boat and then we were told the boat was filled and needed to get back in line and we were now at the end of the line. The crew had no idea we would need two boats… if they knew they should have split us in to 2 groups.

We visited the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello in September, the trip was well worth every penny. Murano with its beautiful glassmaking industry and small cafes was a delight, we then went on to Burano with its brightly coloured houses and lace manufacturing which was fascinating, and where we had a light lunch overlooking the lagoon enjoying a glass of rose. Then on to Torcello to visit the old cathedral which was interesting, and another glass of rose! A lovely day trip in glorious weather.
