Passeio pelas Ilhas de Murano e Burano

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.

Overall this was a great tour. Good value for money and a nice break from the madness of St Mark's square. The only thing is we'd have liked around 30-60 mins more on Murano as it is a bit of a whistle stop stay - espiecally if you get caught in the glass showroom. Unless you REALLY like glass our tip would be to escape out of the rear doors and see the island. Our guide Isabel was excellent and provided all the important info. Tour ran to exact time and a small tip if you arrive at the meeting point and are unsure which tour to join there will be a guide wearing white polo shirt with a red lion on it. Overall this was great. Would definitely recommend!

The tour only provides boat rides from the main area of Venice to Murano, then to Burano, and back to the main area of Venice. The free time before going to the next area is too short. The boat is nice and clean. Boarding from San Marco is very far from the station, about a 30-minute walk or more.

If you want to be lazy for visiting other islands of Venice, this tour is the perfect choice. Just hop on and hop off. They will take you to your destination and introduce the location while on the trip. However, if you want to spend more time on the island, public transport is the best choice. This tour does not provide much time on the island.

There are staff on-site to assist, so you don't have to handle boat tickets yourself. Plus, there's a live glass artisan performance, making it well worth the purchase.

I like Burano Island the most. Full of colourful buildings make photo shots so beautiful. Not as crowded as Venice makes me have a pleasant holiday here.

Dirígete a los muelles y busca la compañía indicada en el bono (puedes ver la dirección de correo electrónico de la compañía). Debes acercarte a los operadores para asegurar tus asientos en el ferry. No te reunirás con un guía turístico que tenga una lista de nombres, solo con los encargados del ferry. La explicación del tour se dará a bordo a través del sistema de megafonía y la demostración de fabricación de vidrio se realizará una vez que estés en Murano.

The weather was great, and we visited both islands I wanted to see. They were beautiful. First, we went to Murano, which had many glass handicrafts. The meeting time was 12:25, and I saw that some group members really did miss the boat. Everyone, please remember the boarding location, as it's possible to get lost. Afterwards, we went to Burano (the colorful island), where there were even more souvenirs to buy. We stayed for 1 hour and 30 minutes. The time was a bit rushed, but it was still worth it.

The meeting point was not easy to find; I had to ask at the pier to locate it. This time, I met at Pier 3B, and I'm not sure if it's the same for other sessions. The two islands are beautiful, but the prices on the islands are a bit expensive, so you can basically only take photos.

I wouldn't really say the guide was a 'guide'; it was a live PA system broadcast during the boat trip to Murano and Burano in 5 languages, but he did an awesome job. The time spent at Murano after the glass tour was limited to only 30 minutes maximum. In Burano, we had a little longer to explore and time to grab a bite to eat. It's hard to figure out which boat/tour group you are going with as there are so many people and many tour groups. Look for Il Doge Di Venezia on the boats with the winged lion logo. As long as you stay around port 1-3, you'll be able to keep an eye out for it.
