Gondola rides are 90 euros per 30 minutes and you don’t get the full 30 min. More like 20min, Outrageous. Be ware don’t do the rides that are on open water, not very enjoyable and can very choppy waters. Do the once inside the canals that are more smooth sailing and more enjoyable. It’s also cash only.

The islands themselves are great. I’d like to go back if I can ever make another trip to Venice. This tour was just not enough time to really enjoy any one of the three. I would’ve enjoyed the tour itself more if the I had been able to hear more of what the guide was saying. I got bits and pieces, which made me want to learn more on my own, but the engine of the boat was loud and so were some of the children a few rows back… that happens, I understand. If you are there in Venice for several days and want to get an idea of the islands so you can decide if or where you’d like to spend more time shopping, learning, and experiencing, this would be a good tour for you. But if this is your one shot to see, shop, learn, and experience these interesting islands, take a full day tour, not a half day. It’s just too short.

We booked for a half an hour ride but it was only about 15 minutes! Very disappointing! The part of the grand canal was maybe around 5 minutes even though the advertisement made it sound as if it were more time on the grand canal!!

The tour was good. Nothing super spectacular to warrant a 5* but definitely 4*. Torcello was the best. Murano was all about buying their glassware (which we did) and Burano was pretty.

Ricky was a gondalier was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely informative and was eager to answer our questions. The other gondoliers should take a lesson from Ricky. We actually had other gondolas go buy and the people were listing to our guide! 99% of the guides we passed were not speaking at all to their riders!

This was a great trip experiencing some of the smaller islands near Venice. The boat ride was short and comfortable with pick up and drop made simple. The tour was in multiple languages including English which was good. The town of Burano is amazing with colourful buildings and plenty of food options. The glass blowing show was good to see also. Consider this trip on your holiday to Venice.

Murano was good and also the glass factory, we bought two Murano glass bottles, the visit was short we had a short walk, it was hot

Strictly for going to the islands and exploring on your own. Audio on the boat is impossible to hear and there are not enough seats to accomodate everyone on the tour. Better options might be buying the tickets separately to each island as the word tour is sort of a misnomer. The islands themselves are beautiful though and worth exploring

Left us at murano while we walked towards boat. We were a total of 1 min late and the walk towards the boat was the minute. Saw us coming and literally ignored us and just left us stranded at island. No head count. Just churn and burn tour terrible. Better off catching ferry on your own to each location and taking your time at each location which we ended up doing and was great

We absolutely loved this short and sweet tour of the islands. Nice to get out of Venice and out on the water. Liked the glass blowing demo and bought some jewellery, had a lovely wander in Burano. Was a really lovely morning. Getting tickets and finding out where you need to be to board was so confusing so it was a relief when a tour guide got in at San Marco as we got on at the first stop. There was plenty of space on the boat but no air con so bring a fan! Loads of reviews say it is rushed but really what do people expect for a half a day tour? It’s great to get a taste of a place and maybe visit for longer another day of your trip. It’s great value for money and worth booking

The highlight of this trip was Burano. All of the different color houses were amazing! It’s a really cute small town. The glass blowing demonstration on Murano was also really cool. It’s Trocello was very small, with a beautiful, old church. The walk to the church and back is pretty much all you will see. For the price, this trip was well worth it. You got a taste of each island and a live commentator who spoke in 3 different languages. The ferry to get there isn’t that much cheaper and as we saw them on our journeys, they were very crowded! As you are traveling on the water, you also get different views of Venice, especially of St. Mark’s. If you are interested in a bit of a rest from all the canal and bridge walking, this is a nice alternative.

Very informative boat trip, island hopping and getting to know some more history. The glass blowing was cool. Definitely worth the trip!

Pros: this was a great way to see several islands and it is really fun to get outside of the centre of Venice and explore; it's a good price; we did learn a few things from the tour guide; glass blowing demo was interesting Cons: so rushed, only had around 45 minutes on each island which is barely enough time to walk around and get a drink, definitely couldn't get any food or relax; tour guide gave some pretty basic info and you tuned out after a while; boats are very crowded and uncomfortable, especially in 34° heat as the seats are tiny. Probably better off coordinating a trip to the islands yourself using the water bus and making a full day of it.

On the last stop of Torcello , my autistic child had to go to toilet last minute and we were told to get back to deck by 5:50pm and we rushed and got there in time but few seconds late and we shouted and called and clapped hands . The boat was just pulling back and reversing and they saw us but still sailed away and had to take two other boats with kids to get back to Venice station . Not very considerate or keep attendance of guest on board . If it was few minutes late or if we haven’t seen them leave then we could have accepted we were late . Will leave a review on trust pilot and share our experiance . We didn’t know Italian and struggled to get back .

Very rushed at all stops. Not enough time to explore any islands. I would not recommend. We had no time to explore Murano, Burano or Torcello.
