“It was a wonderful experience, but the tour guide really makes or breaks this activity, unfortunately our tour guide was not very exciting. We enjoyed the walking tour, being able to go to places we would not have gone otherwise, but wish our tour guide was a little bit more engaging. Yet there are many different tour guides, so hopefully this was just one average example. Loved going on the gondola! That was an awesome experience for us!”

“Memorable precious moments 🥰🥰 good value for money. Location a bit hidden and hard to find, would be easier if the meeting point would be somwhere on the main street. We nearly missed it due to not being able to find the meeting point even using Maps, it just takes you to a different location, so careful to walk to the location at least 1.5 hours before, specially because it tends to be busy and full of tourists too. the ride itself was amazing and really beautiful and staff was very nice.”

“Elena was an absolutely amazing tour guide. As we sailed on the Laguna she gave us tons of information about the surrounding islands. She was incredibly friendly and knowledgable and made our experience 10% better! The experience itself was fantastic, we saw the glass making in action and then had an hour to walk around Murano and explore. The same with Burano (but saw lace handcrafted!) the streets and houses were beyond pretty and we had an amazing time. Thank you again Elena for being so friendly!”
