Murano and burano. Very interesting demonstration of glassblowing on murano. I would have liked to have asked questions of the master glassblower or his workers. Impossible to imagine working there during the summer. Murano glass very expensive.
Burano had wonderful shoos for buying glass as well as lace and fabrics. Lots of places to grab a quick dinner.
Our guide Orsola was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on way to islands

Jennifer was such an amazing tour guide. She was fun, informative and kind. This is our first trip to Europe and Venezia, so to be able to experience the other islands and learn so much about the history, in a fun way was an absolute treat. I highly recommend this tour to those who love to explore, learn, boat and get their steps. It was the best time and experience!
