Guides were helpful and the trip most enjoyable. The transport was comfortable and seeing the sites from the water was pretty. Stopping at Murano for the glass blowing was such a treat and visiting the local shops spectacular. Then an excellent lunch in the colorful Burano was fun. The lace there is incredible. A worthwhile excursion if you have almost a day to spare.
we enjoyed the boat tour, but would prefer more time in Murano, than Burano. Fish luncheon was ok, but we did not really feel welcomed by the staff. Once they saw our voucher, our service declined dramatically. Food was just ok
We enjoyed the boat trip to Marano for a short glass blowing demonstration and then an opportunity to purchase Murano glass items from the store at the same location. Then off again by boat to Burano where we had an excellent three course fish lunch. We wish there had been more time to enjoy it. Afterwards, we were able to go into one of the shops to make a lace purchase before we had to head back to the boat. Burano is so charming and colorful that we wish the stop there could have been longer.
Not worth the money. There was nobody there to direct you to the correct boat like the description said, so you had 80 people asking each other if this was the right place. There was nothing said about lunch. We had to ask our tour guide who gave us the directions to the restaurant. Food wasn't great and none of the sites at Torchello were included and they all cost money. The guide lead us to believe the sites were included. Half the people were back at the boat 30 minutes before we needed to be.
While the weather was great for a boat ride our available time in Murano and Burano was too short. In Murano we watched a skilled artisan create glassware and then toured a showroom which left little time to roam the village. The same can be said for Burano where we had scheduled a lunch, which was good, Again, we were rushed to meet the boat for the return trip to Venice without enjoying the charm of this fishing village.
