Really enjoy the trip, but did not expect there were 22 ppl, thought only max 10. However everything went well. Went on the 9:30 trip which I would say is better. If you wanna spend more time taking pics and exploring islands, best to have some food before the trip. Did not manage to go to the church, ? Time management could be better. Overall still really recommended, finished off the trip with a glass of Prosecco and with lovely music on the boat

Alessandro is an excellent guide, his knowledge is priceless a rare find as his mum was born on the island of Burano therefore he will show you the secrets of Burano. The factory visit was superb on Murano. The group is a small number, lovely boat. I would suggest you bring a pic nic as the arrival time is 14:30 & no time to sit & eat somewhere on the trip. Absolutely recommend it was so lovely!

Great helf day tour. Enjoyed the boat ride, quick lunch in Burano and Proseco on the ride back. Guide was lovely. Demonstration in the glass factory was perfunctory and really just a prelude to seeing thier showroom and buying what you came to buy. It is a good way to buy something you know is from Murano, particulary if you don't have time to shop the island.
