What a fun experience! Sarah was amazing! She’s from Canada and her English was impeccable. We loved the glass blowing in Murano…we bought some glasses/pitcher and beautiful necklace! Burano was adorable and so picturesque! Sarah showed us the best cookie and gelato shop! We finished with a wine tasting at Orto and were able to talk with the owner Michele. What an amazing experience! We would have loved a little more time to see Murano but overall was a great experience!

We really enjoyed Sarah as our guide. Very knowledgeable and easy to understand. She did a great job with significant information. I do wish we had more time in Burano to enjoy and although I enjoyed the winery would of been ok to skip to have more time at each Island.

Wonderful tour and Alessi’s S was fabulous and so knowledgable about the islands and any question we asked. Tour boat was comfortable and helpful on boarding and disembarking in between stops. Wonder to get on the water and enjoy other areas and histories of Murano and Burano. Big shout out to Alessia on her local restaurant tip. Amazing last night eating and drinking and toasting good memories. Thanks again! We’ll be back:)

Great experience. Everything was organized and all ontime.<br />Only wish to have more time in Murano Island for exploring more shops. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience, especially with the wine tasting at the end.

It was an amazing trip to 3 amazing islands. Glass making, shopping and beautiful sights, and to finish at a winery was amazing. It was a great escape from Venice and a chance to see some amazing sights. Worth the time to take this tour

Glass blowing factory on Murano was the highlight for us. Burano was cute with great scenery for photos. Our wine tour took place at Orto in lieu of St Erasmo. It was a small, humble winery that produces two white wines at 8,000 bottles per year. Very unique experience! My only complaint is that it was difficult to concentrate on the guide’s dialogue during the boat rides to and from each island. The single earpiece they provide is helpful, but it cannot drown out the sound of outboard motors and crashing waves.

Daria was excellent giving us fantastic information throughout the trip. I especially enjoyed the glass blowing and wine tasting on St Erasmus island. It was a small group, so felt very personal and we were able to ask questions easily.
