El barquito es un borreguero en malas condiciones. Nada al aire libre, todos encajonados y muchísimo calor. Muy mal. Excursión Murano de una hora: 15 min haciendo cola para entrar a la fábrica (muy interesante) y cuando sales te quedan 15 min para ver la isla. Sin tiempo. Excursión a Burano: una hora y bien, te da tiempo a dar una vuelta por la isla y hacerte una idea del lugar. En resumen: Me quedo con que he estado y conocido las islas, pero el plan es muuuy malo.

The boat is a sheepfold in poor condition. Nothing outdoors, everyone is cramped, and it's incredibly hot. Very bad. One-hour Murano excursion: 15 minutes waiting in line to enter the factory (very interesting), and when you leave, you have 15 minutes left to see the island. No time. Burano excursion: an hour and a half, giving you time to walk around the island and get a good feel for the place. In short: I'm confident that I've been there and seen the islands, but the plan is really bad.

La verdad es que he no vale lo que cuesta. De primeras, si no coges el billete en la estación, te puedes encontrar que cuando te subes en la segunda parada no tengas sitio para sentarte. Luego, máximo unos 50 minutos en cada isla… . Luego volviendo te enteras de que no es tan cierto que te puedes bajar en cualquier parada ya que si te subes en la segunda y te quieres bajar en la primera tienes que pagar 10€. Y lo peor, a las 3 de la tarde te hacen cambiar de barco teniéndote 15 min al sol.

The truth is, it's not worth the price. First, if you don't get a ticket at the station, you might find that there's no place to sit when you get on at the second stop. Then, you spend a maximum of 50 minutes on each island... Then, on the way back, you find out that it's not entirely true that you can get off at any stop, since if you get on at the second stop and want to get off at the first, you have to pay €10. And the worst part is, at 3 p.m., they make you change boats, leaving you in the sun for 15 minutes.

El barco que fue asignado para esta actividad no era apto para tanta genre. Pasamos muchísima calor durante los trayectos, que además corresponden a la mayor parte del tour. La ciudad de Burano nos gustó más, por lo que creemos que vale la pena explorarla por cuenta ajena. La parte buena es que la guia hablaba perfectamente Ingles, italiano, Frances y español.

The boat assigned for this activity wasn't suitable for so many people. We were incredibly hot during the journeys, which also accounted for the majority of the tour. We liked the town of Burano better, so we think it's worth exploring on your own. The good thing is that the guide spoke fluent English, Italian, French, and Spanish.

Pensé que la visita iba a ser sólo en español, que el barco iba a ser más cómodo y que se podrían haber agregado muchos más datos interesantes....imposible si la guía tiene que decir lo mismo en 4 idiomas.

I thought the tour was going to be only in Spanish, that the boat was going to be more comfortable, and that many more interesting details could have been added...impossible if the guide has to say the same thing in four languages.

Esta actividad, tal y como indica su propio nombre, se realiza por libre, es decir sin guía. Sentimos si no se pudo tener en cuenta. Siempre recomendamos revisar bien los detalles de la actividad antes de reservar, lamentamos que no haya podido ser el caso. Translate this opinion into English.

This activity, as its name suggests, is done independently, meaning without a guide. We apologize if it couldn't be accommodated. We always recommend checking the activity details before booking; we regret that this wasn't possible. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy pero muy poco tiempo en Burano, pueblito que requiere estar un buen rato, ya que es precioso. En murano te llevan directamente a la fábrica de cristal , ni tiempo para visitar el pueblo, diciéndote que no hay nada y no merece la pena . Pienso que hay q tener opinión d e uno mismo para poder opinar. Nada recomendable esta excursión. Cuando puedes ir a burano en transporte público .de echo nosotras al volver de Burano así lo hicimos , porque requería más tiempo de lo bonito q es.

We spent very little time in Burano, a small town that requires a good amount of time, as it's so beautiful. In Murano, they take you directly to the glass factory, without any time to visit the town, telling you there's nothing there and it's not worth it. I think you have to have your own opinion to be able to give an opinion. This excursion is not recommended at all. When you can go to Burano by public transport, in fact, we did so on our way back from Burano because it took more time than it was beautiful.
