Experience Day trips in the best of
Venice with Withlocals

"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. "

"Marco was exceptionally knowledgable about the two places we visited. He was very thoughtful and taught us a lot about the Basilica and the Palace. I would highly recommend him. We did both in 3 hours and that was the right amount of time to cover both in detail."

"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."

"I hesitate to write this review because I enjoyed meeting Alessandro very much. However, I rate the experience as a 3 on price-value because when I reviewed the cost afterwards, I felt it was twice the amount I would have liked to pay. My husband and I spent 2.5 hours with Alessandro at a cost of $600+ usd to visit a handful of historic places, with history and story, an interesting architectural staircase, a coffee and pastry break, and visits with 3 local merchants known to the guide. Sadly, given the price, the disappointment eclipses the overall experience. "

"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!"

"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."

"Lu is wonderful! I could have spent all day with her…!"
