Not this tour!
We were taken to the island. One glass blowing exhibition, 20 min long. Herded into the shop to buy. No mention that there is a glass museum on the island.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. The glassblowing demonstration is an included part of the visit to Murano, followed by free time on the island. We value your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue working to make the experience clearer and more enjoyable for our guests. Kind regards, Consorzio Vidali Group

Great way to see both...
Great way to see both islands in a short amount of time. We went back another day to have more time on Burano. Great tour—just the right amount of information shared with us.

We’re especially happy that you returned to Burano to enjoy more time there—it truly is a lovely island to explore at a leisurely pace.

Spoke very little English during the WHOLE tour!
We were informed that this tour would be in both English and Italian. That was not the case. There was very little English that was spoken during the boat ride too and from both islands. She would talk for about 2-3 minutes in Italian and only say about 1-2 sentences in English. I felt as though we missed out on some of the history of the surrounding area. We had to look up a lot of things on our phone. Very disappointed!
Response from the operator: Dear customer, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. We would like to clarify that the tour is clearly advertised as being conducted in multiple languages. The information provided on board is exactly the same in each language, so all guests receive the same content and historical information throughout the tour. We regret if this was not clear to you at the time of booking and understand your expectations. We always strive to ensure that all our guests receive the same information and enjoy their experience with us. We hope to see you again onboard of our boats! Best regards, CVG

Terrible
Horrible no one knew where to send us. Finally found someone that said we were on a particular boat and then some woman scoffed at us and told us no. Needless to say we didn’t get to do this tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, We are sorry to hear that you were unable to join the tour. However, we would like to clarify that the meeting point, departure location, and all the necessary information to find the boat are clearly indicated on the booking voucher provided at the time of reservation. We understand that finding the correct departure point in Venice can sometimes be challenging, but our meeting instructions are provided specifically to help guests reach the correct location. We regret that you were unable to participate in the experience and hope that this clarification is helpful to future guests. Kind regards, Consorzio Vidali Group

Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands cost?
+
Prices start at $21 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 Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 378 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands?
+
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 Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands?
+
Around 132 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands 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.
What is included in Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands?

Not included: Food and drinks; Gratuities; Ticket and visit to Torcello Cathedral (€5); and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
