Wonderful time! We recommend this trip!

Published on Sep, 2024

It is worth the time spent experiencing a little piece of Italy. Great commentary on the history of Italy.

Nice excursion to Murano

Published on May, 2024

We did the tour just to murano to the glass blowing factory. It was very interesting and we had a chance wander a bit on Murano after the tour

Enjoyable day out

Published on May, 2024

Great day out. One negative is I Didn’t like been hearded upstairs into shop after glass blowing demonstration only to discover we had to come back down stairs and through another shop to exit. Felt this was unnecessary and not great for the elder people on the tour to be forced to walk up and down the stairs. Also would have loved another half hour at murano to browse the shops. Loved burano and the coloured houses beautiful village. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse before we reached Torcello making it harder to enjoy exploring

Lovely day out

Published on Mar, 2024

We enjoyed watching the glass blowing demonstration in Murano, beautiful coloured houses in Burano, little bit quieter and less things to see and do in Torcello but a good amount of time spent on each island and very friendly people wherever we went. The information says 4 people but it was a boat of more than 50 but that wasn't a problem. About 5 different languages we're spoken by the tour guides and a nice amount of information about the areas was given. Overall, we were glad we went and it was a lovely day out.

lovely experience

Published on Mar, 2024

for the price that we paid it was a great value. It’s a huge group but all info is given while you are on the boat and then you have free time to walk the islands. Murano and Burano were fun . I would skip Torcello , but it’s just me and my preferences. you might enjoy it . Isabella ( our guide) was a superwoman: she guided all people at once and spoke 5 languages. All info was offered in 5 languages. overall: lovely experience
