Barbara was a fantastic guide, Murano glass making factory was very interesting with exquisite items to purchase. Murano was very beautiful and colorful, only wish we could have stayed longer!

This was a nice tour, the lady who was our guide took us around and gave great detail. My only issue with this was that when we wanted to get a bottle of water, she took us to a place that totally overcharged us and it felt like this was done on purpose. I don't know, but I didn't like that. The glass factory was amazing and they shipped my purchases without any problems. overall the day was great, but for that water incident.

If I could give this one 10 stars - I would! LOVED THIS TOUR!!!! So worth it. Wonderful, wonderful!! The beauty here is even better than the pictures you see. TONS of shopping for pretty much everyone. A fun tour!!

Samuel and our boat driver made the day quite special. He was very knowledgeable with the entire area and listened to our needs.
He set us up with the experts in the fields of Glass making and Linen embroidery.
We enjoyed lunch together and shared some stories.
Truly a wonderful tour!

Great tour. The guide was very nice and gave a lot of information. Great private glass-making demonstration of Murano, and Burano was absolutely beautiful. We decided to skip Torcello and chose to be dropped off at a beach for the rest of the day instead. That's the beauty of. private tour. You can change whatever you need to at the last minute. Great day.

Our tour guide Stefania was amazing she shared a lot of history on the 3 islands with us and responded to all the questions we had. Stefanie was very knowledgeable, informative and patient. The tour was very personal as there were only 5 of us on the boat. We had travelled all the way from Botswana, Africa for my birthday celebration and the tour was worth it.

I would recommend the tour and our guide to anyone!

we got lucky and had the boat/guide to ourselves. we were able to customize everything to do exactly as we wanted. really enjoyed the guide and the day.

I guess when you book a private tour, it all comes down to the tour guide...and I can't imagine having a better experience. Barbara was our guide and quickly assessed our desires and expectations. Since this tour was part of a birthday celebration, Barbara went out of her way to make the day special for me the birthday boy. As others have mentioned, the benefits of a private tour is some additional flexibility and I believe our tour was unique to our group. FYI, we really enjoyed Burano the most.

We were a family of 6 and thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of Murano, and Burano! We decided to not do Torcello because we enjoyed Burano so much. The boat was a lovely, private, mahogany water taxi that was reserved just for us the entire afternoon. Our guide, Sam, a local Venetian offered a lovely local insight, and answered all of our questions. This tour was perfect for us because Venice was extremely crowded, and it took us away from the madness of the city center, over crowded public water taxis, and tour groups. Watching the glass making in Murano was exceptional, and having Sam show us the quieter off the beaten path parts of Burano was exactly what we wanted. If you are into photography, like me, Burano was a dream in the late afternoon we did the 2pm tour. Thank you to Sam for the lovely afternoon!

Loved it and the one on one made it much more special
