Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful day trip to Murano & Burano with Loris. He was so helpful even before we met sharing that there was a festival in town & how we could best enjoy it. He was very accommodating and knowledge. He even arranged a special lunch for our two families in advance. By the end of the day, he felt like an old friend. He shared many restaurant suggestions with us that were all excellent. He exceeded our expectations. "
"We toured Mazzurbo, Burano, and Murano today with Lori’s. This was our second tour with him and once again he did a fantastic job planning the day. The pacing was very good; he planned breaks for coffee and made sure we got to see the beautiful hidden sights of the islands. Loris knows so much about the history of Venice, about the culture of the different islands around Venice, and about food and wine. He took us to a wonderful little restaurant on the island of Murano and then we toured a very unique glass shop. We grew fond of his leadership and companionship. The next time we come to Venice we hope to go on more tours with Loris."
"Olimpia is a fantastic tour guide, I highly recommend her! We did the day trip to Murano and Burano with my two teenage sons. We were in the latter part of our trip so the historical facts got to be a bit much so Olimpia entertained us with fun local facts instead. She was also very conscious of my son’s nut allergy and helped us to navigate restaurant options. Overall a really great experience! "

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.

"Adair was a wonderful guide for our visit to Murano and Burano. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering such a visit."
"Loris was incredibly accommodating to our scheduling needs, both in advance (re-arranged tour configuration for us) and as the day went on (we were tired from the day prior). He was a wealth of knowledge and enjoyable to be around. He is very communicative and responsive, and has great English. Would book with Loris again!"
"Our tour of the Venice Islands with Claudia was excellent. At a relaxed pace, Claudia provided a very informative commentary throughout. She arranged the order of visiting the islands to visit each when crowds were least, which made the tour even better. We loved the visits to the selected lace shop and museum and the glass blowing, which were both unique in the breadth of their products and displays, and also very informative on their craft. Claudia is a passionate Venetian and a great tour leader. We highly recommend her."
"Claudia was very knowledgeable, friendly & efficient. She was flexible & made sure I did not miss things that were important to me. She even spend extra time with me & helped me with my shopping & took me back to my hotel . She is very caring, knows Venice being a native & professional. I highly recommend her. She is a gem."
"You will not find a better guide! Claudia was friendly, highly knowledgeable, considerate of our interests, very funny, and the list goes on! She made our trip to the outer islands light and lively. It was a perfect day! What a joy! Thank you Claudia! Lucile, Brian and Wesley. "
