Passeios por Peggy Guggenheim Museum

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.

There were many groups at the meeting point, and I had to ask each one to find out which was mine. I participated in the three-island tour, and there were many travelers with different itineraries within this group. So, on the way to the second island, pay close attention to the meeting time for your specific plan. If you miss it, you can also ask the staff. On the first island, Murano (Glass Island), you can admire glass craftsmanship and also buy glass art. The second island is Burano (Colorful Island), where we had lunch and took photos with the colorful houses. The third island, Torcello (Cathedral Island), was very peaceful. There was enough time to explore each island, so it didn't feel rushed. The tour guide on the boat explained things diligently, but the boat's noise was too loud, so it was hard to hear, which was a pity. There are two disembarkation points on the return journey, so pay special attention to that as well.

Overall, there are no major drawbacks. Buying a gondola ride here is cheaper than randomly hailing one on the street. A gondola hailed on the street costs 90 euros per ride, so if you just want to experience it, this option is more cost-effective.

Very good experience. Highly recommended. Our tour guide, Frederica, was really nice and knowledgeable. We had ample time to ourselves. After the must-see activities, were able to explore, eat and shop around.

We booked a day trip from Milan to Venice and overall it was a very good experience. The tour was well organised and easy to follow, making it a convenient way to see Venice within a limited timeframe. As expected with a day trip, time in Venice was quite limited, so the visit felt a bit rushed. However, we still managed to explore key areas and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the city. There was also some free time to browse and shop in the small traditional shop houses, which added a nice local touch to the experience. It is advisable to carry cash when visiting, as some of the smaller shops may not accept card payments. Overall, a worthwhile and enjoyable tour, especially for travellers short on time.

very thorough and great experience. I was glad to be able to try so many different Venetian specialties like sarde in saor and tramezzini. Drinks are extra but we were able to purchase a spritz of choice at one stop and it ended with gelato. everything was great and we were provided with suggestions if we wanted more to try on our own. I would recommend the tour. Tour guide Dennis was funny and very knowledgeable.

The tour was organized by City Wonders, a local tourist company. The meeting point is clear and easy to find. They sent you email and WhatsApp messages. The tour guide, Phillopo, also a local Venice man, took us to both venues. He was really informative and humorous to follow. The tour is definitely recommended.

Acceso anticipado al Palacio Ducal, menos gente, mejor experiencia. Nuestra guía turística, Susan, fue increíble. Compartió y explicó todo en detalle. ¡Un tour maravilloso!
