Must do!
Pierangelo gave us one of the absolute highlights of our honeymoon in Venice. We spent nearly five hours with him, and the entire experience was perfect from start to finish. Pierangelo was warm, knowledgeable, patient, and an incredible host. This was easily one of our favorite experiences in Venice, and we would recommend him without hesitation. Absolutely amazing and worth every penny We were staying at the NH Collection Venezia Murano Villa, and I asked if he could pick us up directly in Murano. He accommodated us without any issue, which made everything so easy. We started around 9:30 a.m., which was the perfect time, and our first stop was Burano. Pierangelo was incredibly patient and kept telling us to take our time, which I especially appreciated because I was having way too much fun shopping and exploring! From there, he took us to Torcello and shared so much of the history and character of the islands along the way. He was born and raised in Venice, and that local knowledge made the experience feel so much more special. It didn’t feel like we were simply being transported from place to place, we were getting to experience Venice with someone who truly knows and loves it. We finished back in Murano with a wonderful glassmaking demonstration from a local artist, which was such a beautiful way to end the day. The boat itself was absolutely gorgeous, and the entire experience made us feel incredibly spoiled. The door-to-door service was worth every penny and made the day so convenient, relaxing, and memorable. For our honeymoon, it honestly could not have been more perfect.
Response from the operator: Non ho parole per ringraziarvi per la bellissima recensione. Anche voi siete stati una piacevolissima compagnia.Grazieeeee 😀🥂👏🏻🏆

Perfect tour of Venice Islands
Pierangelo was the bedt. His boat is beautiful and you can tell he loves Venice. He escorted us to the lace maker and glass blowers, plus another island. Very enjoyable day. Don’t miss this tour! I would do again!
Response from the operator: Grazie Barbara è stato un piacere 🥂🤙😀

The highlight of our time...
The highlight of our time in Venice!! Hands down the best experience of our trip is to visit Burano, Murano and Torcello. Captain Angelo went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. He was professional, and knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommended!!!
Response from the operator: Grazieeeeee, ho passato una splendida giornata in vostra compagnia, grazie

Perfect private tour!
What a wonderful way to see some of the islands. The boat owner/operator, Pierangelo, was perfect. His boat was beautiful and immaculately maintained. He knew a great out of the way spot for lunch and took us to a less touristy glass making factory in Murano. I bought some wonderful pieces that I will always treasure, especially knowing they were made by Murano artisans. If you are looking for a wonderful day excursion then this is a perfect way to do it.
Response from the operator: Grazie Michele è stato un piacere conoscervi e condividere una parte della giornata con voi. Grazie

Book this tour!
If you’re visiting Venice I highly recommend this tour. Pierangelo was an incredible guide, he was kind, courteous and knowledgeable, we loved hearing the history of Venice as we went past different landmarks, the glass demonstration was a big highlight for the kids. Pierangelo‘s boat is clean and comfortable and he provided water for us and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time. It was wonderful to have a private tour, it was personal, relaxed and a real standout experience. Just book it! 😊
Response from the operator: Grazie è stato bello incontrare una bellissima famiglia come la vostra e trascorrere un po di tempo assieme.Grazie🥂🤙

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Murano and Burano Private Boat Tour from Venice: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Murano and Burano Private Boat Tour from Venice cost?
+
Prices start at $240 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 Murano and Burano Private Boat Tour from Venice take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Murano and Burano Private Boat Tour from Venice worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 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 Murano and Burano Private Boat Tour from Venice?
+
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 Murano and Burano Private Boat Tour from Venice suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Murano and Burano Private Boat Tour from Venice?
+
Around 8 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Murano and Burano Private Boat Tour from Venice 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.

+

+
It is offered in Portuguese, English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
