This is a superb day out a must for anyone going to Venice. It's very well organised and a very good value for money. The visits to the islands are a little rushed, but the tour is a good way to look at life on the islands.

I liked this tour a lot, but we did not spend enough time in Burano. This is the cutest little island out there, with nice shops. It is a good spot for lunch too.

This is a good way to see other parts of Venice, although a little extra time at Murano and Burano would have been good, and I could have skipped Torcello. But overall it was a nice day out on the water.

Worth seeing the islands although a bit rushed for older people. We could not hear one word from the commentator on board the boat for the noise of the engines which was a bit disappointing. We couldn't even hear the time that we were supposed to be back on board! Otherwise, it was pretty good value for money.

Excellent tour - could use more time at each spot. Excellent for an overview, great value, would do again!!

This was an enjoyable few hours to spend. The glass factory and Torcello were joint highlights for me and worth visiting. The boat ride gave an interesting and an alternative view of Venice from the water and showed you a glimpse of the islands surrounding it.

We wished the demonstrations at Murano and Burano were a little longer, but all three islands were beautiful. Our guide was easy to understand but was performing the tour in four different languages and sometimes we did not realize she was talking to us, because she changed languages so quickly.

I loved Murano, Burano and Torcello. We should have more time in Burano.

The boat was very nice. Murano and Burano were great. The entire tour could have been split between these two destinations. Torcello was a real letdown. You are let off at the dock and have to walk about a mile to anything. Look in the distance at the church tower. That is where you have to walk to get to a restroom or a refreshment. The tour operator should ditch Torcello and make this the perfect tour.

Although this was a smashing trip, I would have liked a little more time in Murano.

I think Torcello should be cut out of the trip since there's really nothing there to see; it should be replaced with Lido.

Very good, however, more time should be given to be in each location. There was very little time to see anything. It was too fast.
Reviewed by: Margarita R, United States, September 2007
I wish we had more time on each of the islands. I'd suggest just taking the water taxi to each place and exploring them on your own, so you can take more time. Also, we were five minutes late returning to the boat and got left behind on Torcello.

More history and stories of the islands would have added a tremendous amount. Before I left Canada, I read more about them than the guide offered. An extra thirty minutes at Murano and Burano was necessary. We felt uncomfortably rushed.
