Murano, Burano and Torcello Half-Day Sightseeing Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Venice, Italy
My Review: If in Venice, take this half day tour! We loved watching the artists in Murano blowing glass into beautiful images.(Although they are very pushy in sales after the demo when they set you free to shop). Burano has beautiful handmade lace where one piece can be made by 7 different women. Torcello was very peaceful. It was nice to explore the church and gardens.The vendors were closing up for the year so we got some great deals on scarves. The crew on the boat didnt seem to speak much English. The women guide spoke English but it was hard to understand possibly due to the micraphone. The overall trip was definately worth the inexpensive fee. It is a great way to learn about their culture and meet some very talented locals and learn about the history of the 3 Islands.

Capri Day Trip from Rome
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: Capri is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The color of the water rivals Hawaii, Cancun and the Bahamas. We had signed up to see the Blue Grotto but the waves were too high. This actually worked to our benefit as we were able to take a cheaper tour by boat around most of the island. We then took a bus up to Anacapri for lunch. Beware of the lemonade. It is lemon juice with water....even after added 2 packets of sugar...it was still pure lemon juice with water. Very Tart! Capri is known for lemoncello so of course we had to try that as well. Our guide, Pino, was wonderful. He was very knowledgable and nice to talk to as well.
This was a great breakaway and to me a little known gem to see when visiting Italy. We took the trip from Rome to Naples then the boat to Capri. 2 of us took the chair lift up to the top of the Island. You won't believe the views! Well worth the cost of the day trip. The bus was nice and comfy too.Watch the drivers in Naples while in the safety of the bus. You think NYC cabs are crazy? They have nothing on Naples drivers!
