The tour was great. Our... - The tour was great. Our guide explained so much. I would highly recommend. You learn so much with a guide. Just make sure you have a hotel booked because Venice charges a tax if you are only coming for the day. Luckily for us our guide came to our rescue when they tried to get us.

Good Last-Minute Alternative - I originally booked a small group glass-blowing experience to make my own souvenier. But that got canceled the day before. Wah!😠So I booked this as a last-minute alternative. It was okay. More time was spent on the boat getting to/from Murano & Burano than in the places themselves. All narrative on the boat was in Italian. There were no headsets. The glass-blowing demo was short but interesting. I bought a Murano glass vase I'm hoping will make it back to Colorado in one peice.

Burano was so sweet, great tour! - Great tour. Camilla was great. So kind and friendly.
Burano was the best.
The only problem was the tour went longer - for 5 hours. We were not dropped at original meeting point and it was raining and we needed to reach an international train, so we needed to pay and catch the tram back to kfc (train station).

Too rushed - This tour felt very rushed, with less than an hour to explore each of the two islands. The guide spoke so fast, and over the noise of the boat it was impossible to actually hear or understand what she was saying. Overall a disappointing tour.

Don't waste your time - When we all arrived to go on the boat there was an issue and they tried to tell some of us to wait for the next tour 2 hrs later and it went for a longer time. None of us wanted to go on that one so after much talking and begging to be allowed to go they reluctantly let us on. The 1st island Morano was interesting watching them make the glass but you could go by yourself and see the same thing. The next island was beautiful and much more to see but not enough time to really enjoy it. Would recommend doing this trip yourself

MURANO/BURANO not so much - The Murano/Burano Island trip is basically a boat ride which gives you a site seeing look at some of Venice from a waterside perspective. The actual island events were less than stella and merchandise grossly over priced from $30 shot glasses to $4 cookies. There was little to see for glass blowing although the craftsman thought highly of himself. You would be far better off hiring a taxi to drive you around Venice versus heading out to these islands.

Bad experience - From the beginning it was unclear were the meeting point was since the GPS would tell us it was somewhere but it wasn’t, we called twice and they did managed to send right address. The experience to the Islands were okay, tour guide Irene, was unfriendly and when we asked her something she seem irritated and didn’t want to communicate much. She was kinda mean when redirection on getting on the boat. On the boat we couldn’t hear nothing said about the tour on the speaker.

Murano and Burano are beautiful, but do it yourself. Avoid this tour. Unorganised, unintelligible, and left stranded - There is a distinct lack of organisation and communication from the start. The narration on the boat is unintelligible due to poor sound system, little time on the islands to really enjoy them, and about 20 of the group were left stranded on Burano when the boat left without us, even though we were back before time at the drop off point. Had to arrange our own way back at extra expense. I phoned the company and they were clear that it was ‘our error’, despite a group of this size being missing with no apparent attempt to locate us.
You can do the islands by public transport. You will have the same or better experience of the islands, it’s cheaper, and probably more reliable.
