I think the tour went well and was as stated, but if I could choose I wouldn't do it again. They took us to Murano for 3 hours. This island was boring in my opinion. ALL the shops sell only glass items, so if you're not into browsing glass and buying something your stuck for 3 hours. There were no places to sit and only a couple restaurants. No cafe to sit at, no gelato that I could find.
The island of Burano was much more interesting but you only got 45 minutes there. They had tons of various shops and photo ops but there was not enough time to see much of it. Torcello was pretty but could easily be skipped. In the end, if you want to see these islands you could just take the water bus and it would be cheaper and you would have the exact amount of time on each island you wanted.

Our guide spoke too quickly without a pause between languages, this made the commentary hard to understand. The boat we had has seen better days. We even had to fix our seat. The pilot did not seem too care for it either. We had too much time on Munaro, not enough time in Burano, and a rushed third stop. A very poor experience overall.

The trip was so cheap (Water Bus from Marco Polo Airport to Venice cost 15 Euro), therefore you can't expect the service to be good. I recommend to be spend little more for better conditions.

The tour wasn't as good as I expected. There was too much "free time". The guide spoke too fast and couldn't be understood by me or my friends.

This was a wonderful excursion in the midst of my trip. I welcomed the time to get away from the crowds on San Marco, Venice and visit other islands which were bucolic and very interesting in their own right.

Good way to get a feel for the islands . For us the time allocation was not so good. Too much time on Murano, not enough time on Torcello, long walk to the sites from dock , Burano , late in the day no time for lace museum, also church was closed. We are not shoppers, not good for us

This was a nice way to spend a day seeing the different islands. My husband and I went on the Full-Day Venice Lagoon Tour Murano Burano and Torcello By Consorzio Vidali Group for $32 for each adult. It was a six-hour tour for all three islands. Each boat ride in between was about 30 minutes and the visits on the islands were an hour or more. The tour guide was friendly and gave information in a number of languages. It was a good outing for the day.
We weren't looking to buy glass, so we found Murano interesting, but we could have seen a demonstration and been done there in 20 minutes. Burano's houses and lace were absolutely delightful. Candy shops and gelato widely available. There were a number of cafes, too. We really loved it there. Torcello had a couple of places to eat and the small museum and the small church which charges admission. The first restaurant at Torcello scooped up all the visitors. It was an outdoor picnic table place with affordable and delicious food - definitely not fancy. The next restaurant up the road was fancier and looked really nice, but empty.
We enjoyed visiting all three islands!

Perfect good support, very clear explanations. Burano is beautiful!
Torcello a little useless in my opinion, and Murano great with the wind tunnel
