Customer Reviews
The shared gondola ride was very nice, as was the brief tour as we walked over to the gondolas. We were able to walk up to the counter and buy our tickets. We could have also ordered online. The only downside was that our gondolier was sick and didn't provide any information as we toured the canals.
I would 100% recommend going to the islands but I would not do it with this company. 1- they advertised as a small group tour, which is why I went with them versus other companies. It was over 100 people with smaller “groups” with each tour guide. That made everything we did overly crowded. “Choose this option to visit the iconic Venetian islands in a small group, comfortably seated on a wooden boat.” 2-I booked the three islands, and was advertised as 6 hours… instead it was the 5 hour tour but we were rushed over to Torcello for 30 minutes while the 5 hour group was on Borano. “6 hours: approximately Murano, Burano, Torcello” the main problem with this is the main thing to see is the basilica that’s a 10 minute walk, by the time you walk there you only have a few minutes for pictures before you leave. The ad said One-hour and 15 minutes on Torcello island. 3- every place we were guided to seemed like an tourist trap, and things that we should have been guided too were discussed and we were told to find them on our own. The guide was okay, the problem is that you don’t get much guiding, and most of the time when you are guided it’s with the group of 100 and being jammed into too small spaces. I would probably say go with alilaguna, it’s cheaper you get the same amount of time but less crowds, less hassle, and the same amount of guiding.
Be sure to be on time!! Wonderful day on the boat to both islands. The glass demo was very hot and amazing! The lace was interesting, 7 women and a month to make one 7 inch piece of lace. My sister and had a great day and had a wonderful lunch. Our tour guide was great and informative and she spoke very good English. We are going back to Burono when we return !
