Traveler reviews
Lovely afternoon
It was a very filled up afternoon. We enjoyed seeing the glass blowing in Murano and the beautiful houses and pretty shops on Burano, but I wish we could have skipped Torcello where there wasn't much to see and instead have more time to visit Murano.
ok for what it is
not much in terms of a tour, some info during ferry rides, but nothing on the islands. Be ready for captive audience sales at ridiculous prices...Negotiation is a must if you see something you like.
This was a very nice boat...
This was a very nice boat ride and tour of the islands. I very much enjoyed getting to explore the islands. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because the speakers were very poor quality on the boat, so I didn't actually get to hear any of the information provided to us about the islands and things we were seeing along the way.
A great day out
Great day out hoping from island to island plenty of time to explore each island and what they have to offer
Disappointed overall withe this experience
The first boat we board was good, but the majority of our travel was in a older boat, hard seating no airconditing or fans, the guides commentating was mainly in foreign language with very little English and hard to understand when speaking in English. The tour of the glass factory was good, there was no actual tour of a lace factory, just lace shops, some of the distances and time explained to visit the island churches was extremely challenging.
