Julia was absolutely amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable on history and one of the friendliest tour guides we have had! The gelato she recommended on Burano was the absolute best gelato weve had in Venice overall

We spent a magnificent day in Murano and Burano! Our tour guide, Alessia S, was extremely knowledgeable and a real joy to be around. As we boated from Venice to Murano and Burano Islands, Alessia S took her time to explain our surroundings and answer any questions.. Murano was captivating as we watched and learned the different glass blowing methods. The glass products were luxurious and we couldnt leave without shipping some home. Burano was charming and inviting. The colorful houses brought so much magnetism and life to the island. The island shops offered a great variety.something for everyone. We enjoyed the fresh baked goods. Both islands were very clean and they had quality products in the shops. The total tour is about 5 hours, which includes boating, demonstrations and time on your own. Its a great tour. We only wished it was about 2.5 hours longer in order to spend more time on each island. It is evident, that our tour guide, Alessia S, takes pleasure in what she does and enjoys sharing her historic insight with others in the most charming and engaging way. Highly recommend any of Alessia Ss tours!
