Looking to get more bang for your buck while in Venice? We’ve packed in as much as possible on this full day tour of Venice. See the beautiful St. Mark’s Square before taking a private boat to see glassblowing in Murano and the Instagram haven of colorful Burano. You’ll appreciate the skip-the-line entry at St. Mark’s and Doge’s Palace and the convenience of our pre-arranged water taxi to the islands that travels faster than the ferry. The bonus? We’ve even thrown in a must-do gondola ride!

Aside from the heat 35C - 95F it was great. Even then, once we got on the boat to the islands in the hottest part of the day, it felt really nice. Julia was very engaging and entertaining. You'll be lucky to get her as your guide.
Fun

Een fantastische tour, aanvankelijk hadden we wat schrik dat het enorm zwaar ging zijn in de hitte, en ondanks dat de hitte er wel was was het goed georganiseerd en niet te zwaar. 5+ sterren voor de gidsen Cristina en Natalia die interessante info brachten, interactie en af en toe een luchtige grap. De moeite waard!!!

We spent just 2 days in Venice, so we thought that this tour would be fantastic to have an insight of the city in a short time. We visit the main city with Marco in the morning, then we had the gondola ride, and finish the afternoon in Murano and Burano with Cristina. Both guides were amazing, making the tour even more interesting! Thanks from Spain!

Our boat tour to both Murano & Burano was great. It was interesting to see other islands, in a comfortable boat., in a relatively small group. Christina, our tour guide answered all our questions and was helpful with directions & suggestions. It was most enjoyable.
Great trip

Awesome day! The Murano and Burano was in the morning. It worked out great. They take you by private taxi ( the day before we went to Borano and torchello by vaperotto bus. Took almost 2 hours each way!!). Not a lot of history but cute towns and interesting glass making. With a discount in the shop. The afternoon we did the palace. Prisons and church. It was more like I have experienced with Roman guy tours in Rome in 2019. Lots of good history. Small group. Fluent in English. The gondola ride was nice. To not have to negotiate prices.
Amazing tour to Murano and Burano

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our tour with The Tour Guy to Murano and Burano islands was exceptional. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience truly memorable. The glass-blowing demonstration in Murano was fascinating, and the vibrant colors of Burano were breathtaking. Everything was well-organized and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Venice!

Cristina was great. Just wish we saw more glassblowing and a workshop would be even better.

We loved the tour of St. Marks Basilica and the Doge's Palace. Our tour guide was excellent. The portable earphones work so great. The day was really wonderful and we enjoyed the pace ...while it is a lot for one day ...but it was enjoyable! Seven areas that were a challenge: #1. The crazy unorganized mass of people meeting for 4-5 different "The Tour Guy" tours with only one precious lady who has a phone (that was so small) to admin all of us. #2. Delays? ...We arrived at the requested 15 minutes early and then waited so long in the confusion of "what group are we in?" and then we waited 15 extra minutes for the "late guy." #3. We had 35 minutes for lunch and never had clear directions on where to meet after lunch (I checked the email-no directions there) ...we happened to find out (thankfully). #4. The Gondola boat organization was also ridiculous...please get the organizer an iPad or something to see the names of the people who paid a lot of money to attend this tour :). #5. The Gondola ride was awkward as a mother and her tiny daughter sat in the very comfortable seats and we sat on the odd side seats that were not comfortable at all. #6. Murano was a nice boat ride but two men fell as they entered the lower seating area...there was no one there to tell them of the extra step that blended into the flooring. Also, Murano was kind of long and frustrating if you didn't want to "buy" the glass...the presentation was very nice through. #7. Look at the email attachments you send your guests...it's very unorganized and there is no list of itinerary or times and directions on where to meet after lunch. I would really spend some time shoring up the admin documents you email and the admin that interact with the people...it really all felt confusing. I know that sounds hard, but it's meant to help...we know you all are doing your best, but this tour was pricey and we think you can get it worked out. Venice is amazing! Thanks.
