The island of Murano looks similar to Venice but it is much quieter. Charming architecture, canals, and bridges make it a relaxing place to stroll and learn. This Island offers a great living example of the central role that family and traditions play in a community and history. Murano internationally renowned for a glassmaking industry that dates back to the 13th century continues to produce ornate glass objects thanks to generations of glassmakers who apprenticed their sons and daughters to make sure this precious art craft survived. Your children imagination will run wild as they see artisans creating intricate handcrafted pieces.

Further north in the lagoon lies Burano, one of the most colorful towns in the world. This tiny island resembles a Venice in miniature. Stroll along Burano’s vibrant waterways and hidden courtyards. Burano is a picturesque fishing village made up of hundreds of candy colored small houses. Each house has different colors. Legend has it that the fishermen used this to their advantage as the colors helped them navigate their way home through the fog. Burano is also well-known for its lacemaking traditions, which dates back to 1500. However, today you can still see old ladies that hand-made lace. Burano is also home to a bell tower that over the years has started to lean. It may not be the Leaning Tower of Pisa but children will enjoy catching a glimpse of this unique bell tower.

TESTIMONIALS

We had a wonderful time in Italy. Your guides were fantastic. Marco was extremely knowledgeable about Florence and all of the art and architecture in the City. He was able to engage my 80-year-old parents and my teenage sons. Stephania was a fabulous guide in Pompeii. She had tremendous energy and enthusiasm for the subject matter and really made ancient Pompeii come to life for us. Lucia was just as fabulous as Marco and Stephania. She had lots of great things to tell us about Rome, ancient life in Rome, Roman history and all of the art and architecture. Her tour of the Vatican was superb. My whole family can’t stop talking about how great all of your guides were. They really made the trip. All of your drivers were extremely friendly and accommodating. I will recommend your tour company to everyone! Thank you!

I am so sorry I have taken so long to get back to you guys. Our trip to Italy was absolutely wonderful and unforgettable. Our walking food tour of Rome was certainly one of the highlights! Our guide was extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. It was like seeing the city with a friend. Not only did we appreciate all the wonderful places she took us to eat and discover, but also loved the historical facts on Rome she shared with us along the way.
As far as the questionnaire below, I would rate each item as excellent. I would definitely recommend Nancy Aiello Tours to family and friends. The way I came across this tour company was by doing a Google search. I saw that USA Today had done a very favorable article on this tour company, and that sealed the deal for me. Thank you again! Cannot wait to use you guys again in the future!

All I can say is Thank You. The experience we had was nothing short of excellent. It started with Rachel and her responding to all my needs. As for our driver, Fabio, if this is the kind of drivers you employ, you’ll continue to have great success. He was by far the best driver I’ve ever experienced and with all my travel, I’ve experienced many. Great job with Fabio. As for our tour guide, everyone and I mean everyone should be so lucky. Her name was Lucia and all four of us felt not only did she possess unbelievable knowledge, we felt like she was family. Her ability to manage us, the time we had and that we wanted to see was fantastic. We HIGHLY recommend Lucia to everyone. As I close, I feel these words fall short of what we experienced. To say we would recommend Nancy Aiello Tours would be an understatement, in fact, I’ve already recommended Nancy Aiello Tours, Fabio and Lucia to several friends planning a trip in the coming months.
Thank you again, and feel free to use me as an endorsement at any time.
