The trip to Murano was great. It was interesting to see how the glass was blown to make the artworks. Burano was a nice trip, but Torcello could have been skipped.

This was a great day, and you get to see all the things you need to see while in Venice. It was good having a short time on each island, otherwise I could see myself getting lost on them and spending way too much money. The gripe I had was the commentary on the boat. The guide had a really strong Italian accent, and so you didn't really get everything she was saying. But besides that, it was all good.

This was absolutely worth doing. The Burano island and Torcello island were very nice. Not too impressed with Murano as the glass demonstration was too short and simple; I was expecting something more elaborate. Burano's lace was exquisite and cheaper than what I expected, gorgeous dresses for girls and again very affordable. The one thing that could be improved is the time spent at each place--it was too short. Good value for your money.

We loved Murano and Burano. Torcello didn't hold much interest for us.

The tour was great. It would be nice to have some more detailed directions to the meeting point.

This was a lovely trip; we thought 35 minutes would not be long enough to spend on each island, but it was. The weather was hot, and we really enjoyed it. Also, the English-speaking guide was very good, too!

Very enjoyable trip - the only regret was that you get don't enough time at each island to really appreciate it.

You are shown an incredible Murano glass factory and very beautiful knits in a timely fashion. Well led by a multilingual guide.

Just over half hour was a good amount of time to see what was about on each island. At least 5 languages were spoken by the tour guide. Was rather difficult to hear over the noise of the boat engine, so be careful where you sit. But it was definitely worth the visit and the cost.

I have booked many Viator tours and have found in all cases, advance booking in is still cheaper than booking the same tour in the host country's currency.

Murano and Burano were very interesting, though there was nothing at Torcello, and this was the island we had the most time at.

Torcello is a lovely island with a wonderful church, but we had only 30 minutes to walk there, and it's at least 10 minutes each way; then we paid entrance fee and had short look inside. If trip can't be extended a little, it is a waste of time going there.

There were several disappointments during the trip. The guide spoke in a very thick Italian accent when she did the commentary in the other languages. We only had 35 minutes at each place, which meant that we were only able to visit one glass factory on Murano, and we had no time to visit the two churches on Torcello, and we could have done with much more time on the beautiful island of Burano. However, it has whetted our appetites for the islands, and when we return to Venice, as we hope we will, we'll take a whole day tour of them.
