Great tour in Murano
Grazie Valerio for a super tour in murano - the whole family loved it!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! It was a real pleasure meeting you and your wonderful family. I'm so happy to hear that you all enjoyed your time in Murano. I hope the rest of your stay in Venice is just as memorable. Have a fantastic trip, and I hope to see you again one day! Warm regards, Valerio

I was hoping for a little...
I was hoping for a little more from this activity. The first island felt like an afterthought and I wish there was a little more discussion about it or a stop by a local business. Burano was beautiful, but there wasn’t anytime allocated for stopping by local businesses. Murano also felt rush since our group had to split in two to see each business. On thing that made the tour difficult was the guide bringing up his political views several times, which really brought the mood down. For the price I thought there was going to be a little more history or demonstration given. The guide did help with a couple suggestions for after the tour with food and a shop.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the experience didn't meet your expectations. The first island, Mazzorbo, is intentionally included because it is a quiet, rural island that offers a completely different perspective on the Venetian Lagoon. It has virtually no shops by design—only vineyards, vegetable gardens, and the Michelin-starred Venissa estate, which we visit and discuss during the tour. Its charm lies precisely in its peaceful atmosphere, in contrast to the more visited islands. As for Burano and Murano, the itinerary is designed to balance free time with guided explanations and visits to authentic artisan workshops. The glass demonstrations take place in small groups to ensure everyone can see the artisans at work comfortably, although I understand this may have made the visit feel more fragmented for you. Regarding my comments during the tour, I'm sorry if they gave you that impression. My intention is never to discuss politics but rather to explain how historical and contemporary events affect Venice and the daily lives of its residents. I'm especially sorry because the rest of the group seemed to genuinely enjoy the experience. I wonder whether the exceptionally high temperatures that day may also have influenced how the tour felt, as it was an unusually hot day even by Venetian standards. In any case, thank you again for your feedback. I always take guests' comments seriously, and they help me continue improving the experience.

Three islands in a day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved all 3 islands that we visited. Vallerio was an excellent host and guide providing lots of interesting information about each. The quietness of the garden, the colors of Burano and the Murano glass were all beautiful in different ways. What a great combination tour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed the contrast between the peaceful garden, the vibrant colors of Burano, and the craftsmanship of Murano glass—it’s exactly what makes this tour so special. It was a pleasure having you, and I hope to see you again in Venice for another experience!

Outstanding Tour by a Knowledgeable and Energetic Guide
Valerio provided the most unique prospective to this tour, we saw tourist attractions but also gave a window into daily life on the islands. The stops we went to were full of joyful people and Valerio’s love for the islands made the tour special.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Chris! I’m really glad you enjoyed discovering the islands beyond the usual sights — that’s exactly the spirit of this tour. It means a lot to know you felt the local vibe and the joy of daily life here. Hope to see you again for another deTour in Venice! 🌊✨ Valerio deTourist

Excellent tour exploring...
Excellent tour exploring 3 islands! Our guide was a resident of Murano and had a lot of connections on the island that really made the experience unique and fun. We loved it and would recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Jacqueline! I’m really glad you enjoyed discovering the islands with me. As a Murano resident it’s always a pleasure to share my local connections and give a more authentic perspective. I hope you’ll come back to explore more hidden corners of Venice and the lagoon! Best wishes, Valerio deTourist

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Venice Lagoon Islands Tour to Mazzorbo Burano and Murano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venice Lagoon Islands Tour to Mazzorbo Burano and Murano cost?
+
Prices start at $38 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 Venice Lagoon Islands Tour to Mazzorbo Burano and Murano take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Venice Lagoon Islands Tour to Mazzorbo Burano and Murano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 36 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 Venice Lagoon Islands Tour to Mazzorbo Burano and Murano?
+
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 Venice Lagoon Islands Tour to Mazzorbo Burano and Murano suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Venice Lagoon Islands Tour to Mazzorbo Burano and Murano?
+
Around 13 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Venice Lagoon Islands Tour to Mazzorbo Burano and Murano 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 Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian. 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.
