The Doge’s Palace was impressive, with interesting rooms and great stories from our guide. In the afternoon, we took a boat to Murano for a nice glass-blowing demonstration and to colorful Burano with its lovely houses and lace shops. Everything ran smoothly, the guide was friendly, and the day felt special without being rushed. Highly recommend it.”
