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.

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.

La excursión está bien organizada pero la hora de inicio posiblemente no es la mejor. Si se iniciara una hora antes, finalizaría la excursión a una hora más adecuada para no comer demasiado tarde. La organización de barcos y los tiempos de estancia en cada isla si son adecuados.

Le isole sono magnifiche! Al punto d'incontro era già presente la guida con un cartello identificativo con su scritto il nome del tour, il che ha reso davvero semplice localizzare l'approdo corretto. Una ragazza davvero molto gentile e disponibile, che ci ha poi accompagnato per tutto il percorso fornendo spiegazioni dettagliate e interessanti. Consigliato Translate this opinion into English.

The islands are magnificent! At the meeting point the guide was already present with an identification sign with the name of the tour written on it, which made it really easy to locate the correct landing. A very kind and helpful girl, who then accompanied us throughout the route providing detailed and interesting explanations. Recommended Opinion translated. Show original.

El barco sin aire acondicionado, las ventanas sucias lo que no deja observar muy bien. La parada de vuelta es en san marco, y si deseas regresar a Santa Lucía debes esperar hasta las 7pm para el próximo barco. En cuanto a los horarios si los cumplen, muy puntuales, la guía muy bien, se escucha perfecto. (Inglés, español, frances).

The boat lacks air conditioning, and the windows are dirty, making it difficult to see clearly. The return stop is in San Marco, and if you want to return to Santa Lucia, you must wait until 7 p.m. for the next boat. The schedules are kept to a very punctual schedule. The guide is excellent, and you can hear perfectly (English, Spanish, French).

Costo encontrar el sitio de salida, ni una sombra media de espera a un sol abrasador. Dan poco tiempo en murano y nada de información de lo k se puede visitar aparte de la fabrica k te enseñan. Burano un poco más de tiempo para que puedas comer pero lo mismo, nada de información, así que organízate antes de ir si quieres aprovechar el tiempo.

It's hard to find a departure point, and there's not even a bit of shade to wait in the blazing sun. They give you little time in Murano and no information about what you can visit other than the factory they show you. Burano offers a little more time so you can eat, but the same thing, no information, so plan ahead if you want to make the most of your time.

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.

MUY MALA EXPERIENCIA! El tour salió tarde, caminamos 20’ por la marea, y todo se retrasó. Murano no aporta y hace perder tiempo. Burano sí es imperdible. Bajaron turistas en una isla fuera de itinerario y llegamos tarde, perdiendo otra excursión ya pagada. NADIE dio explicaciones ni se hizo cargo. No respetan los tiempos: si tienen poco tiempo, ESTE TOUR NO VALE LA PENA

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE! The tour left late, we walked 20 minutes due to the tide, and everything was delayed. Murano doesn't contribute anything and wastes time. Burano is a must-see. They unloaded tourists on an island outside the itinerary, and we arrived late, missing another excursion we'd already paid for. NO ONE gave any explanations or took responsibility. They don't respect timelines: if you're short on time, THIS TOUR IS NOT WORTH IT.
