Nice tour, but Murano was Disappointing

Ournpickup was easy, right at the docks and guide was knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. Ride was nice and we walked with guide. The Mutano Glass piece was more of a sales job than an actual tour. If you are looking to buy something then this is a good one. If you want real in depth knowledge and tour of glass, I would suggest another.

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback and for your 4-star review. We are very glad to hear that the pickup was smooth, that you enjoyed the boat ride, and that your guide was knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Regarding Murano, we are sorry if this part of the experience did not fully meet your expectations. The visit is intended to include a traditional glass-blowing demonstration by the artisans, followed by the opportunity to see different glass pieces and styles within the workshop/gallery. Of course, there is absolutely no obligation to purchase anything, and guests who are not interested in browsing the gallery are always welcome to let the guide know. In your case, the guide also continued with a walk around Murano to show you some of the island and its smaller local shops, which we hope added to the experience. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us better communicate what the Murano visit includes, especially for guests who are looking for a more technical or in-depth glass-making tour. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Italy in the future. Warmest regards, Monica

Good but not great.

We booked an extra hour with the tour company Avventure Belliseme) to travel the canals of Venice by boat. While we did a little of this we ended up with only a four hour tour not the five we paid for. There was no glass blowing on Saturday so we went to the factory and only saw a small demonstration. Most of the time was really perusing the showroom. Anyway we enjoyed being on the boat and the guide was good. But this trip was way too expensive for what we got and not getting the extra hour felt like a jip.

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the boat experience and found your guide knowledgeable. As we explained in our private correspondence, your tour began at 12:30 pm with pickup directly at your accommodation. The nearest boarding dock was only about a five-minute walk away. Following your comments, we carefully reviewed the timing with your guide and confirmed that the tour was slightly shorter than planned due to an error on the guide's part. As soon as this was verified, we contacted you and offered a partial refund. Regarding the Murano glassmaking experience, the live glassmaking demonstration is carried out on weekends as well. The difference is that on weekdays there are typically more artisans working in the workshop, so visitors may ( depending on the production of the day ) also see different pieces being created at the same time. The chance therefore to witness the glassmaking process remains an integral part of the experience on Saturdays and Sundays as well. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve, and we are glad that despite this issue you still enjoyed your time on the Venetian canals and your guide's company.

Best Venice Murano Burano tour!

The driver and tour guide were amazing and iso much fun! Nice ride through Venice, pointing out historical sights and the stories behind them. Off to Burano for a walking tour of the island and watch lace being made. Then to Murano for a tour and watch of glass blowing! Beautiful but way over priced. Very beautiful , highly recommend this tour.
