Traveler reviews
Not great just ok
Very short time at each island. Don’t expect much info. Don’t expect much and you will be ok with this tour.
Three islands around Venezia
It was great to see the three islands. It wasn't really a tour except in Murano to see the glass blowing. It was wonderful transportation to see the three islands. If there was a tour guide I have no idea who it was - but a lady did check our tickets e dry time we got on the boat. It was definitely a fantastic way to see three islands in a short amount of time
Very nice
Overall it was definitely worth the trip. I had a little trouble understanding the guide at times but she was speaking three different languages which can’t be easy. The first island with the glass blowing demo was ok but it wasn’t about the island it was more about a business and selling glass. Not really sure what the second island was all about but just a small settlement I guess. I was nice to see. The last island was the gem. I was a could have spent most of the time there. I would love to spend a day at Burano.
Bad organization
I am extremely disappointed with today’s Murano, Burano and Torcello tour. We were instructed to arrive at 9:45 AM, but after rushing to get there without breakfast, we were told the tour would not depart until 11:00 AM, despite the Viator listing stating 10:30 AM. There was nowhere to sit or find shade, and we were left waiting in extreme heat. The staff were rude and indifferent, and we were again left waiting in the sun for approximately 30 minutes in Torcello. The three-island experience felt rushed and much shorter than expected. Other passengers also complained about the delays and poor organization.
Very Good _ worth it and fun as well - I recommend this as a very nice add on to your trip - lots to learn and see
This was a great experience. we had a great time and the tour was super fun and the people were very nice
