VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Very excited before but after seeing it was ok

Mariano and Burano are nice place to see but Torcello there is not much to see and lot to walk what ever you can see which you have to pay for it so you walking for nothing.

The tour was good and money worth. However , we felt that the visit to Torcello and Murano did not offer enough time to visit the island. In Murano you just have the the to visit the glass factory. In Torcello, there's a 'long' walk to see the two most important monuments and , once you get there, it's time to go back again. Nevertheless we felt that , for us, it was good the know briefly all the islands as we do not necessarily needed to enter all the monuments.

If you're spending just a few days in Venice and would like to experience the islands, this tour is a good option It quickly and efficiently gets you to the three most interesting islands and back in under 5 hours. The organization was quite efficient. My only criticisms -- firstly, our guide gave explanations in 3 or 4 languages, but I couldn't get most of what she was saying because it was a loudspeaker system instead of individual headsets. So I didn't learn nearly as much as I'd hoped to. Secondly, we only had 40 minutes on each island. That was fine on Torcello, but adding an extra 10 or 15 minutes to our time in Murano and Burano would have been perfect.

Lovely way to spend half the day, and the glass demonstration was amazing.

The tour definitely provided a good overview of each island, I just wish we couldn've stayed longer on Murano and Burano. Next time!

Great excursion especially burano its a beautiful island well worth a visit, the boat was lovely we were able to sit out ontop deck and enjoy sun, they also sell drinks and snacks onboard, we would definitely recommend to do this trip

At the Murano Island you'll just see the glass show... And isn't impressive. You may want to look around the island but the location because the factory isn't pretty - this island was a disappointment.

Burano and Torcello instead, were beautiful! Burano it's so colorful and cozy... And Torcello has a beautiful landscape full of wild nature.

We had a nice day, if you are staying for short time in venice it worth to discover murano, burano island qithin short time. My advice do not buy anything from the glass factory its too expensive and you will find the same product with less price in burano or even in venice.

Good value & interesting but directions of meeting point was not good.

Murano interesting - could get expensive if you get the urge to buy,
Burano the jewel in the crown. A delightful place - we went back again the following day,
Torcello - idyllic, but ultimately a tad dull.

the actual trip was really good,but we found that the Torcello Island was really nice but found that the time was very tight to get up to the Cathedral,it is a long walk.

We would suggest you leave out the Burano Island stop during winter as there really isn't much to see. Earphones with the different languages would be good so you don't have to listen to all the different languages annoouncements

Very interesting and good fun

at least half an hour more on each island would the perfect ride

Excellent tour, enough time to explore each island.

We arrived in Venice at one o clock and had this trip booked for two thirty. It was a bit rushed as the St Marks Square was flooded and of course packed and our meeting place was around this area. We made it in time and enjoyed a lovely trip to the three islands. I would have liked more time on Torcello to explore a bit more but all in all it is a relaxing trip just what we needed after being up from three am.

We think that the cost to get into the church on Torcello should be included in the ticket price even if it means adding €5 onto the overall price of the tour. Also not enough time allowed to look in the glass factory and purchase anything.

Murano glass factory interesting but too short a time to see and buy, though prices in town are much cheaper.
Burano a quaint little town to visit and wonderful lace to buy but also too short a time.
Torcello not very intersting, This island should be left out of the itenary and more time given to spend in Murano & Burano.

Enjoyed the islands tour very much. I would have liked a little free time on Murano to see more than just the glass factory. I loved Burano and Torcehllo is very interesting. All are away from the crowds of Venice and were a nice change. Definitely will recommend others to take this tour.

NICE LITTLE TOUR BUT A BIT MORE TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INTERESTING, PARTICULARLY AT MURANO.

Good checking and prestation (in february 2011)

The time on Torcello was too short. We felt very rushed.

Good way to see more of venice without walking too much. Murano, you don't do too much, but the other 2 islands you get to walk around and see things.

The visit to the glass factory was rushed. We could not see the glass blowing demonstration as the man was to the extreme right sat by the kiln. Better if he had sat in the center so all the group could see.

Burano was a nice stop but was not interested in the lace hard Sell

Torcello was lovely. It would have been nice to have stayed there for much longer.

The time spent cruising in the boat was the best!
