“This is an awesome tour that offers an escape from the busyness of Venice. Our guide, Nico was very friendly and gave us such an amazing overview of the history and culture of Murano, Burano and Venice. Touring the Venier glass studio and watching glass artist, Luca create his works of art was fabulous! Colorful Burano was beautiful to see and Nico was a master of avoiding the large tour crowds (which we greatly appreciated). All of the water transportation was so fun to experience. I highly recommend this tour.”

“Seeing the Doge’s Palace and St Mark’s Basilica at night, when we basically had the places to ourselves, was completely worth the extra price. Sabrina was a wonderful guide. St Mark’s was particularly special, as (a) we got to see areas that would otherwise be off limits, and (b) they had the place almost completely dark, and turned on the lights slowly and in stages, gradually revealing the wonders of the mosaics.”
