“Very easy booking process. Able to find the yellow stand easily, register and then find our guide and boat. Plenty of seats, took an inflatable cushion for the hard seats though after reading another review! Booked for the day we went as temperatures in Venice were going to be warm, had a nice breeze on the boat. Glass blowing demo was a little short, only made 2 things quickly but gotta admire his skills! Received 10% voucher for the shop which I used as I bought 2 pairs of Murano ear rings. Didn't have time to wander Murano though. Burano was lovely and relaxing, not too busy and we found…”

“I expected more in Burano, it was a boring experience to all 3 islands, not entertaining or exciting at all. No energy from the people who live on the islands, selling their products. They almost seemed frustrated we (tourists) are there.”
