Very well organized, strengths: punctuality and courtesy, Our guide Andrea was exhaustive in his explanations. I would anticipate the departure and postpone the return to enjoy at least an additional hour of the tour since the stay in Burano and Torcello was too short. I recommend the experience, the islands deserve to be visited !!

Very interesting, to know the surroundings of the Venice lagoon. You can also go by vaporetto. But I have to say that we went on a sunny Sunday, and the queue to catch the vaporetto was about a kilometer long. With this tour you take your boat at the time indicated on each island and you forget about queues. Maybe there are days with less crowds and the vaporetto works well. But it is worth keeping in mind depending on the day

Very nice trip! I recommend 100%. Very well organized and friendly staff. Schedules are respected and everything is clearly explained! A little short in Murano (about 1 hour), 2 hours in Burano which gives you time to visit and eat! Regarding Torcello, we arrived at several boats at the same time, which spoiled the visit a bit (too many people). Moreover everything on the island is paying (visits, museums, toilets at 1€50…)
