Enchanted Isles of Murano, Burano and Torcello

Murano was great, we never did make it to the church in Torcello as it was quite a distance and for us, the time spent in Burano was a little long but perhaps others liked the shopping time. A bottle of water would have been a nice touch, especially since it was very hot.

It was a very fun excursion with the exception of I thought we would see more than just the glass factory while on that island. We went in the door off the boat and back out and on to the boat. It was total marketing we did not see even one minute of the island. I knew we were going to a glass factory but did not know that was all we would see of that island. The other two islands were fun to see.

Great way to view Venice and other islands via water and land. The tour is given in multiple languages, so you learn a lot of history about each island. We loved Burano and spent our time there wandering the neighborhoods. Each island is quite different--we enjoyed the vegetation and peacefulness on Torcello.

The meeting location was some distance from the boat and quite difficult for impaired walkers. Once the tour began, it was quite delightful with ample time to explore each island

very nice and different then the big Venice

The tour was great.The commentary highlights explained much of what we were passing but it could have been more extensive especially on the tide back. There was not enough time to explore Totcello, there must have been something there to appreciate. perhaps a chance for lunch. All in all it was excellent we would highly recommend it. It was a great value

Beautiful trips by boat to smaller towns outside of Venice

4 of us went on the tour...all agreed, it was wonderful

The excursion to each Island was made by our tour guide. Very informative and knowledgeable.

Loved the Murano glass exhibit and so wished I could've afforded one of these beautiful pieces. Loved Burano with it's quaint, multi-colored buildings and their beautiful lace displays. Torcello was unique, too however, quite a little walk with so little time to enjoy. The weather turned bad but it didn't ruin our tour.

Great value. Great guides. Great way to see a lot in a short time.

The guide was organized, kept us on schedule. Pointed out things of interest on the way to the islands. We saw and did more than others on our cruise paying much more.

very informative and interesting

We really enjoyed relaxing on the ferry to the various islands. it was such a relief to be on the cool waters of The Grand Canal. The glass blowing at our first stop in Murano was incredible - and their showroom displays the most beautiful glass I have ever seen - but it was pricey, especially for the larger pieces, but the glass necklaces, bracelets and earrings were lovely and affordable. We loved the short trip over to Burano to see the hand-made lace - what a lovely uncrowded, unspoiled island. The people were so pleasant and welcoming. Then we went over to Torcello - not much to see or do there, as the old church was undergoing renovations. But they did have a few stalls set up that sold wonderfully cheap scarves and wraps, which our party took advantage of. All in all it was the best thing we did in Venice. There is no guide, but we really did not need one, as there is no way to get lost.
