Venetian Islands

Julia is personable, knowledgable, and a pleasure to spend a half day with and learn from a true Venetian. She filled our time with the colors of the islands of Venice and her stories. Terrific ;)

Perfect day tour!

We did a family of 3 private boat ride to Murano, Burano and some small islands. We got to see the glass factory and do the tour there. Everything was beautiful and everyone so friendly. Even left with a beautiful hand made glass pitcher. Barbara our tour guide was so helpful, professional, thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable. We loved the tours because of her. We got to stroll the islands and it was lovely. We also got to ride around the grand canal which was amazing! Overall a perfect day!
