Full description
Do you have a few hours to spare in Venice and don’t want to miss out on seeing the best local sights?
No problem! With this boat trip around the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello, you’ll spend four hours living like a true Venetian as you explore the most colourful and authentic corners of the lagoon.
Accompanied by your skipper, you’ll embark on a journey through exciting and unforgettable places and traditions .
What we will do
The meeting will take place at the meeting point in Venice, 15 minutes before the time specified at the time of booking. Our skipper will be there to welcome us straight on board the boat so we can complete the registration procedures.
Straight afterwards, we’ll be ready to set off! We’ll sail for about 15 minutes towards Murano, our first stop. Here, we’ll have the unique opportunity to take a private tour of a traditional glassworks. For those who wish, at the end of the tour, there’ll be a chance to treat yourself to a small souvenir in the adjoining showroom.
Leaving Murano behind, we’ll set course for the island of Burano, which we’ll reach after a journey of about 20 minutes. Here too, we’ll be able to disembark and enjoy some time on our own to explore the island at our leisure. During our stop, we’ll have the chance to pop into a typical lace shop and sample some Bussolai, Burano’s traditional biscuits.
At the end of our stopover, which lasts about 30 minutes, we’ll be met by our skipper. Once back on board, we’ll head for our final stop: following a scenic route lasting about 15 minutes through a picturesque inner canal, we’ll arrive at the island of Torcello. If you wish, you can also go ashore on this enchanting island, famous for its splendid basilica ( entrance fee not included) .
From there, we’ll return to Venice in about 40 minutes by boat. The experience will last a total of 4 hours.
