Lost time

Lost time. Lost money. We paid €25 to stay walking from top to bottom in a ferry, getting very little embarring that is the best place. Because in Murano it's just trade, they just want us to buy expensive goods for them to probably earn commission. The trade is much cheaper to sell strawberry. And the other town that was horrible the island. The only one who saved was excellent brunno

Water Taxi Ride From Hell

You should refund the cost of the excursion. Although my ticket clearly indicated where I wanted to go, the launch driver left us at an abandoned pier. Lucky for us a security guard arranged a taxi for us to take us the rest of the way to the cruise ship. If you weren’t going to fulfill the contract you should have never charged my credit card nor picked us up. You hear about incidents like this but you never think it could happen to you!

Great Experience.

On time to pick us up. Captain's courtesy and support greatly appreciated. He assured we were arriving at the correct location.

Verify your pickup time

The tour operator came to our hotel 2 hours before the time we scheduled to take us to our cruise ship. When they came at the right time, we had to walk a bit to the water taxi station where the boat could not get close to the dock, so I had to to be lifted into the boat.

Timing is everthing.

The boat driver was fine but the local company completely screwed up the pickup time despite 3 emails.
