Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We truly enjoyed our experience and memories on Venice’s islands: Burano, Murano, and Mazzorbo with our guide Nicoletta. We got to see the private Murano glass workshop and art galleries which was amazing and so beautiful. We saw the beautiful colorful Burano island. We are so grateful for all the gems, history and experience that Nicoletta shared with us. Do not hesitate, book your tour with Nicoletta to visit these islands. "
"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. "
"Considering the heat, I was very impressed that Nicoletta was able to maintain her humour, her commentary and her commitment to an excellent experience. Being a Venetian native, she has a strong sense of place, time and perspective on the history, architecture and people. "
"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! "
"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."
"Adair was amazing. She planned the perfect day for my family of 11 people. She was a great guide with very interesting insight to all the places we went. Very personable and easy to be with for the day. She planned a perfect lunch spot as well. Would highly recommend her. Very reasonably priced. "
"Adair was a wonderful guide for our visit to Murano and Burano. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering such a visit."
"My two college age granddaughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Federica. The glass factory was very interesting. She was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. She was great with the girls. When the tour was over she walked us to a waterbus station and made sure we knew how to get back to our house. Would love to do another tour with her. "
"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!"
"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."

Escape the Venice crowds for an unforgettable Murano day trip! Imagine watching master artisans shape molten glass into art right before your eyes. A private Murano day trip with a local is pure magic.
In 1291, Venice ordered its glassmakers to move to Murano to protect the city's wooden buildings from the risk of fire from the furnaces. This historic move concentrated the art, creating a world center for glass.
The culture of a Murano day trip is centered around the 'maestri' (master glassmakers). The title is earned through a long apprenticeship, and their secret techniques have been passed down for generations.
While on your Murano day trip, take a break from the glass and savor the local cuisine. Enjoy fresh seafood from the lagoon or try 'risotto di gò', a creamy rice dish made with the local goby fish.
Angelo Barovier, a 15th-century Murano glass artist, was a Renaissance superstar. He is credited with inventing 'cristallo', the first completely clear glass, which transformed the craft forever.
A Murano day trip isn't just about the workshops. Wander to the Basilica of Saints Maria and Donato to see its stunning 12th-century Byzantine mosaic floor and the legendary dragon bones behind the altar.
