Full description
Did you know that once upon a time master glassmakers could not leave Venice to protect their secrets? Today you can discover them too!
Join this 5. 5-hour boat excursion in the Venetian lagoon. Departing from Punta Sabbioni, you will explore the islands of Burano and Murano and attend a glassblowing demonstration in a historical glass furnace.
We look forward to seeing you on board!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Punta Sabbioni (VE). Awaiting us will be the crew and guide who will accompany us on our excursion in the Venice Lagoon!
Once the boarding of all passengers is complete, we will set sail on board the boat to head towards Burano, without stopping in between. During the scenic navigation we will admire the smaller islands of the lagoon. Once disembarked, we will have a full 2 hours of free time to stroll through the alleyways, photograph the super-coloured houses and discover the island's typical handmade lace .
Afterwards, we will re-board to reach Murano. Here we will stop for one and a half hours and have the opportunity to visit a historical furnace. We will attend an engaging live demonstration of glassmaking (approx. 30 minutes) by a master craftsman. At the end of the demonstration, we can continue our discovery of the island on our own.
Once our time is up, we will embark to return to Venice. On the way, we will make a short technical stop at San Marco - Cornoldi exclusively for the boarding and disembarkation of other passengers, before docking again at Punta Sabbioni.
The activity will last a total of approximately 5. 5 hours.
