It was a wonderful day, allowing us to discover these 3 very typical islands, especially Burano, the most beautiful with its colorful houses. However, we were very disappointed with Murano, which we couldn't visit because we didn't have enough time! We'd either have to leave earlier or eliminate Torcello, which is less interesting.

Romi was an excellent guide! It ended up being a private tour for just our family as nobody else has booked for that day, and Romi was excellent in answering our many questions and showing us unique parts of both islands. She was great to deal with and very enthusiastic as well. She has great English which made it easy for us to all speak to each other. Would definitely recommend Romi!

Giovana was the loveliest guide you could wish for. Her excitement, despite having likely done hundreds of these tours, was contagious. She paid great attention to detail while also ensuring that every person in the group felt included. The equipment quality was excellent, with clear audio throughout the tour. Giovana provided just the right balance of historical context and insights into current life and events. We loved every moment. Our gondolier was also praiseworthy. Despite being a young man, he was knowledgeable without being overbearing. Although we can’t recall his name, the boat was called ‘Luca,’ and he was stepping in for his father. A delightful experience with a charming young man.
