Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Adair far exceeded our expectations. She was very knowledgeable and explained in detail what we were seeing. Designed the tour to our interests, our abilities, and the time. We ate at a local restaurant and she suggested several local dishes that were delicious."
"My wife and I booked an Island Tour of Murano and Burano with Nicoletta. It was a great day out seeing the islands and a walking tour of Venice. Nicoletta was able to get us to islands despite a strike that stopped public transportation. We saw the glass blowing in Murano and bought a glass piece as well. We then went to Burano, which is famous for it's lace making and beautifully painted houses. We returned to Venice and Nicoletta did a walking tour through parts of Venice we had not seen nor knew to see. The glass tour was a little heavy with their sales techniques - needing to go to the manager to get some pricing. There is a room with less expensive glass art if you want a less expensive souvenir. "
"Roberto was fantastic! We were so pleased to have him to ourselves. His knowledge of Venice and the area is superb, he is very professional and humble at the same time. He catered to our needs beautifully and I will recommend him to my friends.❤️"
"From the moment we met Claudia we knew we would have a great day touring Murano and Burano. She was very welcoming, upbeat and quite funny… traits which put us at ease and having a good laugh at several points during the day. She took us to a fantastic glass factory with incredible creations, a very charming and incredibly impressive lace boutique, a delicious lunch away from tourist traps, and ending our day back on Venice at her favorite gelateria. She does many different tours and lives locally so she really knows the area well. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and fun guide Claudia is the one for you…. I would spend the day with her again if I ever return to Venice."

Burano is world-famous for its delicate, handmade lace. This intricate art form, dating back to the 16th century, is a cornerstone of the island's culture. See the tradition live on your Burano day trip.
No Burano day trip is complete without tasting 'bussolai buranei'. These 'S' or 'O' shaped buttery biscuits are a local delicacy, perfect with a coffee while you soak in the island's unique atmosphere.
The island has a strict color scheme! If a resident wants to paint their house, they must send a request to the government, who will reply with the specific colors permitted for that lot. A local secret!
The island's leaning bell tower of San Martino church is a quirky landmark. Caused by subsiding land, its noticeable tilt adds another layer of charm to the picture-perfect views on your Burano day trip.
Why see Burano like everyone else? A private Burano day trip with a local guide is your key to unlocking the island's secrets. Skip the tourist traps and discover hidden alleys and authentic stories. Limited spots available – book your unique experience now!

"We had a great time with Loris... He was very friendly and knowledgeable and took us to some really lovely spots on our tour. His restaurant recommendations were top notch!"
"We had such a lovely day with Mazia in Murano and Burano! She was so knowledgable about the history of both islands and took us to a gorgoeus glass factory, made a recommendation on one of the best lunches we had in Burano and included a stop to a local lace maker. "
"Genny was very charismatic. She was very knowledgeable about our location and was full of interesting facts. She knew how to stir us away from crowds as best she could. She also gave us excellent advice and recommendations for the rest of our stay. We felt like we made a true friend! She even arranged for a private taxi back at the end of the day which was an awesome treat! Well worth the money. I highly recommend the excursion with Genny!! Top notch!!"
"Marzia was a delightful and exceptional companion on our tour of the beautiful islands of Venice. We instantly felt at ease with her and she answered all our endless questions. We saw an inside picture of life on the islands through her Venetian eyes and witnessed a very special glass blowing by the youngest maestro ever, Alex. What a treat! She let us set our own schedule and was very flexible. Our day just flew by without a feeling of being on a schedule. Highly recommend Marzia - you will not be disappointed! "
"We loved our day with Sarah. She was informative, helpful and extremely knowledgeable on the history of Venice. We thoroughly enjoyed going to the Islands being shown around all the hidden gems. If you’d like to spend a day exploring the romantic city of Venice go with the lovely Sarah. Well worth it!! "
"Thank you, Emanuele, for a magical day exploring both Burano and Murano! From the moment we scheduled this tour with Emanuele several months ago, he showed such excitement and passion for what he does as a tour guide and he was organized and answered all of my questions promptly. The tour was perfectly organized in terms of allotted times at each island. He was great with our kids, catering to both the kids and adults with his history lessons. The tour lasted 5 hours and we had a wonderful time. Grazie!"
