The onboarding for the boat was complete chaos. There were so many people there we needed to take two boats, we got to the front of the line to board the first boat and then we were told the boat was filled and needed to get back in line and we were now at the end of the line. The crew had no idea we would need two boats… if they knew they should have split us in to 2 groups.

We visited the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello in September, the trip was well worth every penny. Murano with its beautiful glassmaking industry and small cafes was a delight, we then went on to Burano with its brightly coloured houses and lace manufacturing which was fascinating, and where we had a light lunch overlooking the lagoon enjoying a glass of rose. Then on to Torcello to visit the old cathedral which was interesting, and another glass of rose! A lovely day trip in glorious weather.

The tour feels a little rushed, especially on Murano. Would like to have spent a little more time there. Burano is something special.

The Torcello visit was much less interesting as the one of the 2 other islands. On those islands the time offeted to visit is rather short. Maybe a 2 island tour lasting 6 hours would be better

This six hour tour was an incredible trip, and it was so reasonably priced! The boat crew was extremely punctual, and the boat ride was enjoyable. The most memorable stop on the trip was the island of Burano with its numerous pastel and brightly colored buildings throughout the island and along the canals. It was a photographer’s dream!

I took a tour to the Venice Lagoon to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. Each island offered something different, and each had they own way of living. I watched a glass making factory gentleman work his magic in Murano, beautiful colorful houses in Burano and ate delicious seafood in Torcello. A wonderful tour

as people have said previous, this tour does get massively booked up, and there is a very tight squeeze onto the huge boat.
on the boat, i appreciate the tour guide is trying to translate in many different languages, but it is that rushed, that by time you hear the information in your language, shes already gone past half the details so you miss it.
the glass watching part is fantastic, albeit, they had to squeeze a huge amount of people into a room that isnt adequate to fit that many to watch.
i felt like the last island of torcello was a bit of a meh sort of visit, i would have much rather had a longer time in burano as there was much more to see and after getting something to eat in burano, theres not much time to do anything else. i feel like the tour would benefit more if they put the time of torcello into burano and got rid of torcello, or if they extended the duration of the tour by maybe an extra hour or two for burano.
overall was a really good day especially at murano and the time spent in burano, but do feel like the numbers need to be reduced slightly and the times extended :)

The lagoon tours overall was a good experience. It started off hectic with the boarding process, having three tour boats grouped all together each person racing for sests. Once boarded and everyone seated, everything became calm and tour became sane. Each island has its own feel. Overall, I was very happy with the tour of the Venice lagoon of islands.
