Our trip was beautiful and very fun and the guide experience was great in the islands and landmarks all the time is excellent

We had a group of 7 and spent and afternoon/evening and the next morning. We had a wonderful walking tour with Nico. He was great , fun ,knowable. We has such a wonderful time with him. The next morning Natasha was there to pick us up for our tour of the Murano Glass factory we were the first group to arrive so it was like a private showing, Just amazing the talent here and the beautiful works of glass art. Next we did a short ride in the Gondola we has a slight hick up with some taxi stuff, but was all worked out. I worked with Leonardo for the months ahead of the trip , he was just wonderful with working with me to accommodate us, they also arranged our transportation and porter to the cruise port. Would use them again .

We had an amazing afternoon on this tour with our fantastic guide Georgia. After being picked up in a private boat from our hotel, we visited a glass factory in Murano and then spent some time exploring Burano before being dropped back at the hotel. Georgia is a local and was very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. Many thanks Georgia!

Amazing experience. Our day could not have been better. We learned so much on our tour, but more importantly the bond our guide had with the islands was genuine and from the heart. We could not help but to feel what a truly special place we were visiting. During our vacation we visited 4 countries with several tours, but this was hands down the best. Thank you for a perfect day.

Beautiful ride with a very knowledgeable guide. Venice is so beautiful and this is a great way to experience it with insight on the Grand Canal.

The pick-up was super well organised, we were close to St.Mark Square and our boat was already waiting for us !! A super luxury one !! The Captain told us that “Riva” is one of the most iconic beautiful boats coming from Lake Como but we were so lucky to book it for this experience and in the Venice Lagoon is just a marvellous jewel. We started our tour going to Murano Island, the famous one for Glass 😁 here we saw the entire production from one of the most ancient factories and my kids had fun seen everything of it and their Show-room ( Museum too ) Crazy pieces !! We purchased something for our beautiful house, for sure is gonna be a crazy memory remembering always this trip. 2 Stop Burano Island, after our walk we end up eating something in one of those fantastic restaurants ( Gatto Nero ). But in Burano you don’t see just wonderful bright and colourful houses, the lacemaking is part of this island and is just a pleasure to see how they are still do in it for centuries and centuries. Atelier la Perla needs a look for sure. 3 Stop was Torcello Island, the most ancient one in the Venician Lagoon. Not too many things to do or to see but the Cathedral with its mosaic was special. The way back to St Mark Square, was very comfortable.Drinking a very nice glass of Prosecco and enjoying the last view of this Lagoon. This tour was worth it 100 %.

Had a great afternoon trip to Murano and Barano with Nicko as our guide. He was very informative and an excellent guide. the boat was perfect on each leg of the trip. The glass blowing and gallery were very interesting as was the visit to the colorful island on Burano. After a morning walling guided tour of Venice, this completed a full day in Venice.

THE BEST TOUR OF VENICE!!! We had an amazing time with Pietro on board of the luxury Riva! We felt like Venetian nobles! The Murano Glass factory visit was once in a lifetime experience! Pietro delighted us with some special stories about the different islands. We then reached Burano where we met Andrea and his family in the lace business for centuries. Admiring his grandma working the lace was such an experience! Their staff is incredible! Lunch at Al Gato Nero was superb! We met Massi and Ruggero (father, owner and Chef) and I can say it’s actually the best meal I have ever had in my life! We wanted to book the Riva boat even for the day after as we had so much fun and there is so much to see but unfortunately it was already full. Pietro thank you for your kindness and for welcoming us on board of Dea! We will remember this experience forever, you made us feel so special! Come to the States soon! Ciao ciao Emily & Max

We fully enjoyed this unique one day trip to the northern part of the lagoon of Venice!! The Queen of the sea Aquariva Yacht was way more than we expected, we felt so relaxed and very privileged to be on board! We learnt so much information thanks to our knowledgeable guide Luca, he introduced us to the amazing crafts of the lagoon such as the glassblowing on Murano, we also witnessed the intricate art of the lacemaking on Burano and its picturesque residences painted with different colors! Last but not least we tried the best Venetian local food on the island of Torcello! Best experience ever, I recommend it!

Our journey with Shomevenice was truly memorable, offering an experience that exceeded all expectations. The quality of the boat was outstanding, making us feel as though we were part of a cinematic masterpiece while gliding through the iconic canals of Venice. What made this experience truly exceptional was the professionalism and warmth of the staff, particularly the driver, who were both incredibly engaging and personable. Their hospitality added a distinctive touch that elevated the entire experience. This is undoubtedly an experience worth repeating, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable way to explore Venice.

We had the perfect day! I booked this tour for my girlfriend’s birthday, I wanted to surprise her and I have to say it worked like a charm! Amazing landscapes, the Murano glass shaping left us breathless and the islands of Burano and Torcello were the perfect romantic getaway I was hoping for. Away from the mass tourism, we enjoyed the excursion so much. I really thank Luca, the guide, for the availability and the greatest tour. Really recommended!!

This was a fantastic tour! The glass blowing demonstration on Murano was amazing! Both boys got the chance to try glass blowing. We visited one of the oldest family owned factories and had a personal tour. It was just our family and our wonderful guide Marta. We were able to take as much time in the factory as we wanted. Next we traveled to Burano, the lace making island. It was impressive to see lace made by a master. We enjoyed touring the island and the colorful painted houses while eating our gelato. Our tour guide, Marta was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. It was nice to be in our own water taxi. I highly recommend this tour. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Truly a great experience. Both islands were amazing. The glass making factory was a very cool experience and its really amazing “art productions”. Burano is a really cool unique beautiful town. The boat ride is crazy good. The guide was want of the best I have ever had in 40 years of traveling. He did a completely great job.

Our tour of these two islands were fantastic. Got to see glass blowing and then went to Burano and toured the city. Our guide, Natasha was very good. We went on the of the regatta but made both islands.

Saw making of several glass vases and objects in the factory. Great experience to see the craftsmanship and artistic skills of glass artists. Visited showroom with beautiful finished products costing up to thousands of dollars euros, but no pressure to buy.
