Most Popular★ 4.5

“Wonderful experience. During the boat excursion over to the islands, the guide provides very insightful information about Venice. The glass blowing demonstration was interesting, but doesn't hold a candle to the extent of amazing glass sculptures on display throughout the museum. Burano is a lovely town for wonderful pictures with all of the colorful buildings…”

“Grand Canal cruise was in a boat that is used also as a water taxi which is closed in and unable to take photos or move around. Cramped space. Walking tour was good but also too many shops being pointed out during the trip. Use of communication system was excellent.”
