Visit the most beautiful islands of the lagoon: Murano, Burano and Torcello. A private boat tour with friendly guide and driver will let you discover the best of Venice like a local.
You will reach the island of Murano with possibility either to visit a glass factory or to stroll around its quiet streets. Then you will reach Burano, a fisherman island with picturesque houses and great local biscuits. The last island of the tour will be Torcello, with the first Basilica of Venice.

If it weren’t for Selena, our guide, the entire experience would have been a disaster. The captain did his best to improve the situation, but we were misled from the start. We were promised a pick-up at our hotel on the Grand Canal, yet we ended up having to walk to a different location to board a “boat” that seemed far from safe. This vessel was nothing like the iconic motorboats of Venice; it was a rudimentary, old, and poorly maintained barge. This was not what I envisioned for my family. I cannot recommend this service; it felt like a scam. While I understand the effort to sell products after our visit to a glass factory in Murano, the aggressive sales tactics were off-putting and unnecessary.

We were 50/50 on this trip. We all loved the glass making demonstration (very impressive). After that 50% of us loved the shopping of glass (Murano), lace (Burano), 50% felt they paid to go shopping, so this is really for someone wanting to see stores of glass and lace! The guide was great, sounds from boat made it hard for everyone to engage.

Ms. Selena was wonderful as well as the captain. We had the most lovely day!!!! Worth it to take a private tour and hear so much about Venetian history.

Frederico was an excellent guide. We had a wonderful time. Having a local Venetian to show us his wonderful city and the islands of Murano and Burano was quite a treat. He even called ahead and got us lunch reservations and had the chef prepare us a wonderful meal so it was ready when we arrived. Having a private boat to take us to the islands was a benefit as well, as we were able to tour at our own pace and never felt rushed! I would highly recommend this tour and our new friend, Frederico!!!!

Gabriella was informative about the cities and cultures. She met us at our hotel and took us to the waiting boat to begin our tour. Highly recommend!

Our guide (Emma) was absolutely amazing. Very attentive and made our day around the islands very unique. We had done the islands two other times on other trips to Venice but this was the best by far. The glass blowing viewing was fantastic as was the traditional boat we were on. She is local and has such amazing knowledge and education to share. Must do and totally worth it!
