Great tour with a Venetian native!
Nicoletta gave us a wonderful tour!
First, she came to our hotel to save us from figuring out the vaporetto on our first morning in Venice and gave us a walking tour of the city. She had arranged a private boat to take us to Murano, where we got a private tour of the Signoretti Glass Factory. We got to see Alex Signoretti (the master) creating a piece. (We bought something and got a picture with him, but this wasn't necessary).
Nicoletta then took us to Burano and we got to walk around seeing the beautiful colorful houses. We also went to a local lace place and saw how they worked. We got a snack together and then took the public vaporetto back to Venice.
It was a great day! We highly recommend Nicoletta!
