Enjoy the Panoramic Venice islands tour: an excursion to see the islands in all their beauty.

After a fascinating boat ride in the Lagoon dominated by nature, you will stop in Murano, the glass island, known throughout the world for its glassmaking art. You will visit a Furnace, where you will admire a glass blowing demonstration and learn about the ancient glass-blowing technique.

The tour will then continue towards Burano, the jewel of the Venetian Lagoon, famous all over the world for its lacemaking and for the brightly colored fishermen’s houses.

The last, but not the least is the quiet and sparsely populated island of Torcello, the first center of civilization in the estuary. On these island you can admire the oldest churches of the lagoon and discover how Venice was born!

You will come back to the islands crossing all the lagoon admiring the fascinating St. Mark’s Basin from the boat.

Murano was fun with the glass blowing, but didn't have enough time Burano. The boat did not come to take us to Burano. Had to wait another 40 minutes and then had another tour guide. She was actually better than the first.

We were scared how this trip would go but it was absolutely Okay. Not so many people on board, enough time to see Islands. To see Torcello was the only thing I would skip on this trip but at the end it was at least nice walk. Very nice day after all!

Murano was great and I loved the glass making demo but we were left there for three hours. There is not enough things to do in Murano for three hours. One hour would have been plenty. Three hours was painful. Tricello was adorable. Burano was also very cute. I would recommend more time in Burano and less time in Murano. We were also in Burano when all the shops were closing down.

The ride back. Torcello = nothing to see. Murano = 15 minute glass making tutorial, 45 minutes trying to get you to buy some and 2.5 hours waiting to leave. Burano = I don't know, it was raining so we sat on the boat.

Sorry to be negative, but if you have kids they'll be bored. If you're an adult, you'll be bored also.

It was great to experience 3 different islands! The only issue is that the boat was so loud no one could hear what the announcer was saying

This tour was a little disappointing. I guess we were expecting more of the history of the islands as we were traveling over to them. Instead it was get to the island and see you back at the boat in a hour . If the guide was saying anything it was so hard to hear over the roar of the boat engines,

To call this a guided tour is a stretch. Could not understand our guide.

Visits felt rushed. Ended up leaving the tour as the same agenda could be accomplished with the water bus pass and more time on the islands. Would not recommend.

Showed up to our meet up location only to be told they had a problem with the boat and that it was cancelled. No Jesus up of explanation. Do not book.
