Not long enough at each place, especially Torcello as it was 15-20 minutes to walk to the church. It was beautiful, but we didn't have time for the museum. Another half an hour there would have made all the difference. The guide didn't speak clearly and really didn't seem interested. It also started late. Murano was amazing, and Burano was just beautiful.

Definitely don't miss this tour when you are in Venice.

The time, 35-40 minutes on an island, especially Burano, was not enough at all.

This was a good way to spend an afternoon after a morning walking around and taking in the sights of Venice. Murano was cool for the glass blowing demo, Burano was gorgeous with brightly coloured houses and the only let down was probably Torcello which does not have very much to see. You get approx 45 mins at each place. I thought I would be in a smaller boat as per the picture portrayed on your website but you are actually just in the local water taxi boat which seats about 60 people.

Found the whole trip a wonderful experience and reasonably priced.

Great places to visit but you have very little time on the island, the trip should be extended.

Would have liked more time to roam on our own. A must for first timers!

If you have the time, do it. It's a quick way to see the other islands and maybe come back later if you really want to see more, especially Murano for the shopping. The guide talked very fast, and you may miss the information.

We really enjoyed this tour even thought it was pouring with rain. Would have liked longer on each island; well, certainly Murano and Burano. Very good value.

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.
