Procedura per la prenotazione molto semplice. Ottima organizzazione del viaggio (ritrovo, guida e imbarcazione). Peccato il poco tempo libero che ho avuto sull'isola di Murano, non potevo non partecipare alla dimostrazione su come si fabbrica il vetro soffiato, cosa molto apprezzata da me e da tutti i partecipanti al giro.

The booking process was very simple. The trip was well organized (meeting point, guide, and boat). It's a shame I had so little free time on the island of Murano; I couldn't miss the glassblowing demonstration, which I and everyone else on the tour really enjoyed. Opinion translated.

El encuentro con la empresa generó mucha confusión debido a que no tenían ningún cartel para poder identificarlos y habían muchos grupos con el mismo destino pero de otras empresas. Debería de tener una bandera, cartel o bien indicarnos en qué muelle sería la salida. El paseo muy lindo, el tiempo en murano fue solo de 35 minutos y resultó insuficiente.

The meeting with the company was very confusing because they didn't have any signs to identify them, and there were many groups with the same destination but from other companies. They should have had a flag, a sign, or someone to tell us which dock the departure would be from. The tour was very nice; the time on Murano was only 35 minutes, which was insufficient.

Llegamos a Murano a las 11:15h y a las 12h ya teníamos que estar en el barco, tal y como bajamos del barco nos enseñaron un taller del soplado del vidrio, está bien si no lo has visto antes. A las 12:45h llegamos a Burano y a las 13:45h ya teníamos que estar de vuelta en el barco para volver Venecia. Está bien ir con ellos porque no te te tienes que preocupar de buscar transporte y horarios, pero creo que es muy poco rato para poder visitar las dos islas. Burano precioso!! Translate this opinion into English.

We arrived in Murano at 11:15 a.m., and by midday we had to be back on the boat. As soon as we got off the boat, they showed us a glassblowing workshop, which is great if you haven't seen it before. We arrived in Burano at 12:45 p.m., and by 1:45 p.m. we had to be back on the boat to return to Venice. It's great to go with them because you don't have to worry about finding transportation and schedules, but I think it's too short a time to visit both islands. Burano is beautiful!

Il giro delle isole in se' merita sicuramente gli spostamenti sono stati organizzati bene . Non siamo stati soddisfatti del servizio fatto dalla guida, dava pochissime informazioni tutte molto veloci non si cspiva molto non c"dra interazione . Sembrava di ascoltate un nastro registrato..non ho trovato valore aggiunto dalla sua presenza. Molto bella l'esperienza a Murano con il maestro soffiatore del vetro, dove la spiegazione è stata fatta dal proprietario della fornace non dalla guida.

Ci dispiace che la vostra impressione sulla preparazione della guida non sia stata delle migliori. I professionisti selezionati per la loro formazione ed esperienza si impegnano ad adattare i contenuti al gruppo. Grazie per il feedback, lo terremo presente per migliorare.

En Murano muy buena explicación del trabajo en vidrio. Hermoso el paseo por el museo. El último trabajo del caballito, espectacular! En Burano nos tocó lluvia, no pudimos visitar mucho la ciudad. Si visitamos una tienda donde pudimos apreciar los hermosos trabajos de hilo que tienen ya 4 generaciones

In Murano, a very good explanation of glasswork. The tour of the museum was beautiful. The latest work, the little horse, was spectacular! In Burano, it rained, so we couldn't explore much of the city. We did visit a shop where we could appreciate the beautiful threadwork that has been around for four generations.

Tuvimos poco tiempo para visitar Murano, esperamos mucho a que otro grupo terminase en la visita al taller de soplado de vidrio, por lo que la hora voló. Por otras experiencias creo que fue algo puntual. Los barcos son puntuales, no van masificados se va cómodo. Merece la pena. Translate this opinion into English.

We had little time to visit Murano; we waited a long time for another group to finish their visit to the glassblowing workshop, so the time flew by. Based on other experiences, I think it was a one-off. The boats are punctual, they're not crowded, and the trip is comfortable. It's worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

No estuvo mal pero Torcello no lo recomiendo, paramos muy rápido, solo 1 hora y teníamos también que comer allí y no tiene casi nada para ver. Murano, salvo por la demostración de como hacer trabajos con cristal de murano tampoco dio tiempo a más, una hora escasa estuvimos. Lo único que me gustó mucho fue Burano. La guía bien pero incómodo pq tenía que repetir lo mismo en 4 idiomas. Todo muy atropellado y corriendo. Recomiendo coger por cuenta propia un vaporetto a Burano y ya está Translate this opinion into English.

It wasn't bad, but I don't recommend Torcello. We stopped very quickly, only 1 hour, and we also had to eat there and there's almost nothing to see. Murano, except for the demonstration of how to make Murano glass work, didn't have time for more, we were there for just one hour. The only thing I really liked was Burano. The guide was good but uncomfortable because he had to repeat the same thing in 4 languages. Everything was very rushed and rushed. I recommend taking a vaporetto to Burano on your own and that's it.

Poco recomendable. Solo nos dejaron 50 min en cada isla, por lo que la visita fue rápida y excesivamente corta. Tardaron hora y media entre que nos citaron y llegamos a la 1ª isla. Hace años hice free tour con civitatis y la experiencia fue buenísima con tiempo suficiente para conocer las islas. Este lo tienen concertado con otra empresa y juntan a muchos grupo, siendo la sensación de ganado. Solo dan pequeñas explicaciones durante el trayecto y ninguna en las islas.

Not recommended. We were only given 50 minutes on each island, so the visit felt quick and excessively short. It took an hour and a half from the time we were scheduled to arrive to the first island. Years ago, I took a free tour with CiVitatis and the experience was fantastic, with enough time to explore the islands. This one was arranged with another company, and they pack a large group, making it feel like cattle. They only give brief explanations during the tour and none on the islands.
