Full description

Board a boat that will take you to discover the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.

You will stroll among the iconic colourful houses of Burano and watch a demonstration of glass-making in Murano.

An expert guide is waiting to reveal all the secrets of the Venice Lagoon on this wonderful 5-hour tour!

What we will do

We will meet at the time selected during the booking process in Venice (VE), where the skipper will be waiting for us to guide us on this tour.

Having boarded the boat, which can accommodate up to 6 passengers, we will be ready to set sail towards the most fascinating islands of the Venice Lagoon. After about 20 minutes we will arrive at the island of Murano, known for its long tradition of glass blowing. Here we will have the opportunity to attend a demonstration of glassmaking: we will be fascinated by all the secrets of this ancient art that the master glassblower will reveal to us.

After about 40 minutes we will be ready to depart for Burano, which we will reach in about 20 minutes by boat. On this beautiful island we will have an hour of free time to lose ourselves among its characteristic brightly coloured houses .

We will then return on board to reach theisland of San Francesco del Deserto and its monastery, which we will visit with a guided tour (included) of about 40 minutes to discover its history.

Back on board, we will be offered a small aperitif of spritz and chips as we head towards Torcello, which we will admire by sailing along the island's only canal.

We will return to the meeting point after about 5 hours of touring.
