This is a coordinated ferry ride and not really a tour with an educated guide that explains things.

kristD1889HP, Sept 2025

This is not really a tour - there is hardly any explanations of what we were passing in the boat; it was just a brief 2 minute explanation when we got to each place; the pace that the guide spoke was so fast - we could not understand her, no safety briefing given on where life vests were and the tour guide seemed to not really give a dam about the passengers. This was just a coordinated ferry ride and not really a tour where a guide talks and explains anything. Very disappointed.

Delightful- Love Burano

Stunning glass at Murano and cleverly made. I loved Burano- more variety, lively and colourful.The staff on the boat very welcoming and felt very safe. Recommend the tour!

The tour says 2 hours at each island but you only get 45 minutes, this doesn’t give you much time to explore, eat or do the free demo of the glass and lace. Would recommend the hop on hop off if you want more time other than this. The guide and boat crew were great and happy to help with questions

Great trip. Left at 10am on the from Ferovia and got back at 3pm. Couple of good stops at maurana and burana. Time for a soda at the first location and lunch at the second. The boats were not full or hot as some some of the reviews say. Spacious, airy and the tour guide was fabulous. Well done. Recommend it to get off the island and have a look from the water.
