Get off the island & explore!
Loved getting off land and onto the water surrounding Venice. Visiting Murano and the glass blowing business was amazing to watch and learn about their history. Our guide, Francecsa, was knowledgeable and so personable. We really connected with her. Burano is a quaint island with a unique history with the art of lace making. A lost art form. A fantastic way to spend our morning.
Response from the operator: We're so glad you enjoyed discovering Venice from the water—Murano and Burano each hold such special charm. Francesca will be touched to know the connection you felt. Francesca & The Eyes of Rome Team

Murano's visit...
Murano’s visit consisted of visiting a glass factory and its department store. Interesting but not exciting. Burano is really what we liked the most. It’s worth spending a few hours at least. Our guide Alessandro was excellent.
Response from the operator: Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis de savoir que vous avez particulièrement apprécié la visite de Burano. Un grand merci aussi pour vos compliments à l’égard d’Alessandro. Au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau pour d’autres découvertes ! Bien cordialement, The Eyes of Rome Team

Great private tour of Murano and Burano
We had a great time visiting Murano and Burano. Our guide, Lara, was very knowledgeable and helpful. We got a private viewing of glass blowing. Got to buy lovely glasses on Murano. Burano is a lovely small island filled with colors. We were then dropped off in a lovely local restaurant on Venice. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! Murano and Burano are must-sees when in Venice! Grazie e arrivederci! Eyes of Rome

Excellent presentation of authentic glass making in Murano by a professional glass blower. Beautiful town and history as well as lace making in Burano. A favorite with my teenage children!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Venice: Murano & Burano with Boat & Glass Blowing | Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venice: Murano & Burano with Boat & Glass Blowing | Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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: Murano & Burano with Boat & Glass Blowing | Private Tour 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 Venice: Murano & Burano with Boat & Glass Blowing | Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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: Murano & Burano with Boat & Glass Blowing | Private Tour?
+
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: Murano & Burano with Boat & Glass Blowing | Private Tour 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 Venice: Murano & Burano with Boat & Glass Blowing | Private Tour?
+
Around 2 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 Venice: Murano & Burano with Boat & Glass Blowing | Private Tour 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.
