★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 15,699 reviews · 4.5 - 5.5 hours · from $29Our pick

A half-day boat hop from Venice to Murano glassblowing, Torcello calm canals, and Burano color and lace, with smart free time.

“The trip is really well organised and consists in three main stops in three different island. You have time to explore the little islands, take a coffe and pictures. The only thing I found disgusting was the visit to the Vetro Officine: the owner who explained the process of creating an time of glass was extremely rude and acted as if he was disgusted by the tourists visiting (and paying for this) the Officine. He made some comments in local language very rude, and he cared only in guiding people to the gift shop… disgusting person. The last island, Burano, was magical. So so beautiful. Overall, if you remove these…”

The boat was clean and the crew and guide were great. well organised and well worth the day with a full 6 hours with plenty of time to visit the islands. Morano glass factory was a walk of the desk straight into the factory glass blowing display. highly recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7,580 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $36

5-hour small-group boat trip to Murano and Burano for glassblowing, hand-made lace, and colorful canals, with private water rides.

“This tour takes you in a boat along with 20 other people to the islands of Murano and Burano. The lace work and the glass factory show and tell is only 5-10 minutes each. Rest of the time is for you to explore by yourself. This you can easily accomplish by touring these island with public ferries for a fraction of the price. So needless to say this is an extremely overpriced tour for what they offer - they only offer transportation. We were not impressed with our tour guide Raquele/Rachel, who overly shared her own personal story rather than sharing more about the islands and Venice giving an actual…”
