This was a lot of fun, but we experienced a lot of sales pressure at Murano and not enough time to look around.

Worth doing if you want to see these other parts of the lagoon and don't want to waste time with the vaporetto. There's very limited time at each site, but even so this is worth the very reasonable price.

This isn't exactly a tour. The tour guide doesn't do anything but tell you when to get on and off the boat. However, it was an awesome way to see the city from the lagoon, and the islands were incredible. I did like that the tour guide wasn't that involved, she just told us the basic things we needed to know and set us free to roam on our own. If you're going to Venice, don't miss out on this experience!

Very informative. And we were most impressed with the tour guide. I don't think she took a breath while giving the information in Italian, Spanish, German, English and French, one right after the other!

Very pretty islands and a different experience to Venice itself, worth going if spending a few days in Venice and have a half day to spare. Very informative.

The islands themselves were amazing, but our tour guide's English was a bit incomprehensible. I would recommend this tour, though, as it is very affordable given how much you see.

This was an easy way to see all three islands. Murano was my favorite but Burano was a very nice stop. I went back to Murano on the Vaporetto which was so crowded that it was not only uncomfortable but it felt unsafe. The tour boat was much nicer.

My husband and I went in the off season so the tour was not very crowded. The tour guide was friendly and gave the tour in German as well as English. We wish we could've had more time at each location. The glass blowing demonstration was great! And we were JUST about to buy something from the showroom when we realized we were out of time and had to get back to the boat. The last stop was Burano, the lace demonstration. It was interesting and the items were beautiful, but my husband and I were captivated by the colorful houses there. If the weather had been sunny it would've been fantastic, a total picture postcard location.

On the second leg of tour, I couldn't understand what was being said because there was a problem with audio. But overall it was nice.

The only complaint we had is there was definitely not enough time spent on each island. Only about 30 minutes on each. Not nearly enough time to walk around.

This trip was very nice, however we felt a little rushed on these islands. We would have liked to have had more time to shop and sightsee. The guides were knowledgeable and made it a a fun experience.
