Peggy Guggenheim Museum tours

It was basically a self-guided walk after the glass-making demonstration. It wasn't as lively as I had expected, and you can tell that both towns are slowly declining as these traditional artisan industries struggle to survive. In fact, very few young people want to learn these crafts anymore because the work requires years of dedication. In Burano, only about 20 women are said to still possess the traditional lace-making skills. Despite that, the museum is well worth a visit, as it provides valuable insight into the history of Venetian craftsmanship and helps you appreciate these remarkable artistic traditions.

be prepared for long bus ride and can be tiring. venice is beautiful. only need to walk quite far for the optional gondola ride.

At the meeting point, there were many groups, and I had to ask each one to find mine. I was on the three-island tour, and there were many different tour packages within this group. So, on the way to the second island, it was important to listen carefully for the meeting time for my specific package. If I missed it, I could also ask the staff. On the first island, Murano, we watched glassblowing demonstrations and could also buy glass crafts. The second island was Burano, where we had lunch and took photos with the colorful houses. The third island, Torcello, was very peaceful. There was enough time to explore each island without feeling rushed. The tour guide on the boat was very diligent in explaining things, but unfortunately, the boat's noise was too loud, so it was hard to hear. There were also two different disembarkation points on the return trip, which required special attention.

The American guide was beautiful and her explanations were excellent. I learned so much about history, which made for an unforgettable and in-depth trip to Venice. Thank you!

this was a lot of fun and a great way to explore the city! the path is great and easy to follow. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Venice with a bit of guidance.

We had Elena as our guide and she was absolutely incredible. She was fun, knowledgeable, passionate and an absolute delight. She was so easy to talk with and had so much information to share. It made our Venice stay just that little more interesting and amazing. Thank you Elena!

very simple, you go to the boat docks and just speak to the men in charge of putting you on the boat. there is a someone who will tell you facts from the boat but everything else is done by yourself so you have the freedom to explore, you just have to follow the boat timings. Very nice experience.

It’s a very long day tour but worth it. They have a prompt start and the almost 3-hour drive was cruisey with 2 drivers taking turns but the turnover was very quick and only took a minute or so. Aside from the brief walking tour around Venice, our guide also arranged for us a 25-min gondola ride (optional) for an additional fee. The transfers are organised as well with appropriate toilet breaks. It’s definitely a good way to see Venice with a tight schedule or if you do not wish to stay there for the night (or two).
