Murano by Private Watertaxi Including Glass Blowing Demo with Hotel Pickup
Jonathan_B, Sep 2026
Worth It
Our guide was amazing. He met us and walked us around Venice while heading to meet our boat. He knew a lot about the area and took his time giving us the history of Venice. He even went over the allotted time to ensure we got to see and do all the things we wanted to. He even dropped us off at a local restaurant. Great experience.

Private Boat Tour to Murano, Burano and Torcello
michaeltC2718HW, Sep 2026
Highly Recommended
Alex was a very nice tour guide. His demeanor was very pleasant. He was very knowledgeable of the area and was flexible with the itinerary, even allowing us to see the inside of the Venetian Arsenal.The overall tour was great. Burano was a nice stop, though the stores seemed a bit “touristy”, not boutique-ish. Torcello was worth the visit. The church and surrounding property are very nice and interesting to see. In Murano, the private seating and option for hands-on participation in glass blowing was a highlight, however, beware the owner’s invitation to see his “special”gallery as may feel like you are in a “time-share” presentation with some pressure to buy very upper-end items.This was a very nice outing for us, and would highly recommend Alex to others.

Best way to privately tour Venice!
Outstanding private walking tour of Venice. Our guide, Vitorio was terrific, sharing a great deal of history and knowledge about Venice, its history and many hidden gems one might never discover if touring alone or in a large group. Ask for Vitorio when booking this tour as he created a memorable and enjoyable experience for our small group.

C2319WYchristopherc, Sep 2026
Private cooking experience
10/10 experience with Massimo! We had such an incredible time at his private cooking class, which he hosted right in his beautiful home. From the very beginning, he made the experience feel so personal and special. He took us to the local market and helped us select ingredients based on our preferences and allergies, which we really appreciated. The food was absolutely delicious and unique, and every dish was better than the last. The wine and bubbly were also incredible and made the whole experience even more memorable. Massimo was such a wonderful host — knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about sharing his food and culture with others. If you’re looking for an authentic, intimate, and truly special experience in Venice, we couldn’t recommend Massimo and his cooking class more! 🇮🇹🍷

Lynne_F, Sep 2026
Great day trip!
This was a great way to see Murano and Burano. I didn't realize it included a guide with us for the whole time. She was very informative and helpful. When we just wanted to go to lunch on Burano she left us alone. It was nice to get away from Venice and see the lagoon and other islands. Also they picked up at 10 am sharp. We had a meeting time after lunch at 2 pm for the ride back so it was actually 4.5 hours and worth it!
