We began our day with a visit to Mazzorbo, followed by stops in Burano and Murano. Throughout the tour, Lucia shared a wealth of local history about Venice and its surrounding lagoons, bringing each place to life with her insight and enthusiasm. In Burano, we explored the island’s fascinating lace-making tradition before enjoying a leisurely lunch filled with delicious food, wine, and dessert. Then, in Murano, we had the rare treat of a front-row view of one of the island’s master glassblowers crafting a custom set of drinking glasses. Our private tour with Lucia was the highlight of our entire trip to Venice. We highly recommend booking with her!
We had a really fun and interesting tour with Lucia, who clearly knows Venice well and was proud to share lots of "locals" knowledge and information with us which was great. Would absolutely recommend, was one of the highlights of our trip!
Lucia communicated and delivered what was promised. Using private taxis rather than larger-scale public transport allowed us to spend time at each stop according to our wishes, and we learned things we didn’t even know we didn’t know. Recommended!
We had such a wonderful day with Lucia. She was so kind and warm, our tour through Murano felt like strolling around town with your best friend.

Lucia provided a very informative and interesting tour of Murano and Burano. She was friendly and welcoming the entire duration of the tour. She stayed with us right to the end to ensure we were back on our cruise ship, which she most certainly did not have to do. She also managed to squeeze in a brief tour of Torccello. Would certainly recommend Lucia for any tour you may have in the Venice area.
JUST AMAZING Thanks a bunch Lucia for the tour, it was a great experience and interesting stories, I really recommend this tour with her
