    Not quite as described but worth going

    The description says things like "explore the island" and there was NO time to explore Murano. This was a serious bummer to me but there was time in Burano to check out sites. The stop in Torchelo was a waste of time though. Would have been MUCH better to have spent this extra time in Murano and Burano.

    Venetian islands

    Drop Torcello visit. Nothing to see there. Spend more time in Burano. Many restaurants there for lunch.

    Good tour

    It's a good tour to take, very interesting. I only wish we could have spent a bit more time on Murano.

    Practical way of visiting these nice islands

    Tour is giving you a chance to visit all these 3 nice islands in limited time period. If you are looking for some quick snapshot for these islands, you are in the right place. Glass factory tour is totally commercial and waste of time.. Hard to understand Italian English short guide notes..

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review. We will take note of your feedback and use it to improve our services for the future. Hope to see you soon.

    Highly recommended

    If you're in Venice then I highly recommend taking half day tour of Murano, Burano and Torcello. They will also take you to glass factory where you will see how things are created out of blowing glass. The museum/ gift shop of the glass museum is outstanding but wayyyy to pricey. Keep your kids close to you. If you break anything, a minimum of thousand euro goes down in the drain. But the stuff there is original. Outside, anywhere in Venice, you will see many glass decoration pieces but remember, they would be pricey but not original. So if you intend to buy an expensive decor, I recommend getting it from glass museum. The tour includes three islands. You'll see where the work of crochet and lace came from. Your last stop is Torcello, where the church of Santa Maria is a must place to visit. (Visited Aug2015)

    FullDay tour to Murano & Burano with panoramic view over St. Mark: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.

    How much does FullDay tour to Murano & Burano with panoramic view over St. Mark cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does FullDay tour to Murano & Burano with panoramic view over St. Mark take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.

    Is FullDay tour to Murano & Burano with panoramic view over St. Mark worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 45 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule FullDay tour to Murano & Burano with panoramic view over St. Mark?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is FullDay tour to Murano & Burano with panoramic view over St. Mark suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book FullDay tour to Murano & Burano with panoramic view over St. Mark?

    +

    Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does FullDay tour to Murano & Burano with panoramic view over St. Mark start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Venice?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Tour of The Real Hidden Venice. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Venice?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Venice?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
