If only it wasn’t Easter week

It would have been a perfect trip had there been fewer people on board, on the tour, in the shops and in the streets. From what I could hear of the tour, it must have been very interesting. It was a very windy day, making it quite uncomfortable sitting upstairs in the open. I would like to go back and spend more free time wandering around on my own.

Time on the islands was too short. Need more time especially on Burano. No information at port as to what boat was ours, we waited along with other people to find out which boat was ours. Poor information for tourists.
