What we will do
The meeting point will be at the time selected during the booking process in Venice (VE). Here we will be met by the skipper who will guide us on this tour of discovery of the most fascinating islands of the Venetian Lagoon with a boat accommodating up to 9 participants.
Our first stop, after a 20-minute sail, will be Murano. We will land on this island known for its glassmaking and will be taken to a private wing of anancient glassworks, where a master glassmaker will reveal all the secrets of this historic art.
After about 40 minutes we will be ready to set sail in the direction of the island of Burano, which we will reach in about 20 minutes. Here we will have 1 hour of free time to admire the island's famous colourful houses and take some photographs.
Back on board we will reach the island of San Francesco del Deserto in about 10 minutes, characterised by a monastery which we will be able to admire with a guided tour (included) of about 40 minutes.
Back on the boat, it will be time to head towards Torcello , enjoying a small aperitif on board with spritz and chips. We will admire the last island of our tour staying on board and sailing along its unique internal canal.
We will return to the starting point after about 5 hours of touring.
