Like every Venetians you will discover the Venice lagoon on board of a charming Vaporetto's ride!
In Murano, the last 20 families are still keep going on with this very ancient glass tradition coming from the Roman Empire's Age.
During a very interesting walking across the "Glassers Street" where you will see the different skills of the major of them, you will see how Masters made their unbeatable artistic handmade cristal glass, a lot of century ago considered a real State Secret here in Venice!
While in Burano you will love their millenial lace making industry born in the course of the "Venetian mythology" age: legend say it started fixing fish traps..here you have of course the possibility to try their delicious sea food cuisine and for sure enjoy the most unforgettable local skyline taking thousand of pictures!
In the end Torcello, created from the last Romans escaped from Barbarians Invasions. Today considered the beginning of our Western Civilization with its last 9 locals.

Wonderful tour given by Andreapaolo. In addition to his lightheartedness - he offered historical context, great food, shopping photo opportunities and general understanding on how to navigate Venice.
A nice plus, he is a true local with experience on how to keep us from the crowds!
I would highly recommend this tour. Size of the group was also perfect.
Thanks Andreapaolo!

Whilst I guide was friendly and funny, the whole experience was underwhelming and we definitely could have visited these three islands ourselves and got as much information. In addition to your online ticket price from Viator, you are also required to buy a public transport 24hr Ticket at the additional cost of 25 Euro. This is because the tour utilises the extremely busy and overcrowded Public Transport to get each of the islands.
We did get to visit each of the three islands. The first Torcelli was probably the moat interesting but our time was limited here and I guide sent us up the tower with little information, whilst he stayed at the bottom to smoke. (There is a amazing small Museum here with Roman artifacts & Frescos but this was NOT included in the tour)
Murano and Burano were both beautiful islands but unfortunately both of our organised visits to The Lace Shop & Glass Blowing Factory felt more like sales pitches than a actual demonstration. (The public can visit these places and see these demonstrations at any time for Free)
In short, you can save yourself the price of this tour and instead buy yourself a public transport 24hr pass and make your own way to these beautiful Islands and explore in your own time.

We had a GREAT time traveling with Andrea. He is extremely fun. We felt like VIP'S! We took public transportation but still was able to skip every line. He truly knows everyone and is able to use his personal connections to ensure we get the most of our experience.

Our local guide was Andrea, he was knowledgable, funny and knew everyone. This was a real bonus when it came to jumping the queues. The islands are well worth a visit, so beautiful. So pleased we chose a local guide, he made our day so much more interesting and fun.

Ciao Andreapaolo 💕
We had such an exclusive / personal experience w/ you in Venice — our kids keep talking about you —- you are now their unofficial Venetian uncle.
Day 1 in Venice we did the evening tour where it was really wonderful experience to get to know the city of Venice. W/ stories of history & culture … we stopped for photos of course … and authentic Osteria for dinner :) JUST AMAZING.
Day 3 we did the island tour to Burano & Murano w/ Vapporetto… we were the only people … so Lucky :) We met in person the glass makers & their store - learned about the famous artists that order particular designs . Also, in Burano like Fairy tale (or colorful kids story book city ) we walked about the city & also visited the shop where they have school & actual seamstress who make the lace :)
We even had time for lunch before heading back to main island Venice.
The entire Experience w/ Andrea is AMAZING !!!
Thank You 💕
