Good island hopping tours in Venice fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Cruise Venice’s lagoon to Murano, Burano, and Torcello with glass, lace, local guides, and scenic island time for $25.
“This was a great way to spend a way seeing outside Venice. It was super hot so the breeze on the boat was refreshing. Could’ve done without Torchello, so unless you really love archeological sites, recommend doing just Murano and Burano.”
Review the Venice Islands Cruise to Murano, Burano and Torcello, with glassblowing, colorful canals, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“The houses in Burano were a highlight for me but I would not recommend this tour. The boat was tiny and cramped and the sound system was so antiquainted you couldn't hear anything. Murano was a 5 minute demo of glassblowing then high pressure sales to buy glass in the giftshop. When we came back from Burano the boat had to circle around to get a place to disembark. It made us really sick. Overall, too much boat and not enough time on either island. The boat was hot, conjested and not worth the feeling of sea sickness.”

“You do get to see all 3 islands which would be much more difficult by vaporetto but because you go to all 3 the time is rushed on each one”

“Lovely, slower paced tour to the islands of Murano and Burano. Our guide was full of interesting facts and information and very accommodating for our young children.”
