What we will do
The appointment is 5 minutes before the chosen time, at the indicated meeting point in Venice.
Here you will be welcomed by the skipper and board the private boat, exclusively reserved for your group of a maximum of 6 people. Passing through the Zattere and Giudecca areas, you will be captivated by the panoramic view of St. Mark's Basin, one of the city's landmarks.
The navigation will continue past theArsenal and the Castle area, before arriving in Murano, world-famous for its tradition of glass-making. You will have the opportunity to visit the furnaces, where you will discover the secrets of glass-blowing production. You will be able to observe the techniques of the craftsmen up close and, if you wish, take a tour of the showroom to admire the masterpieces created by the glass masters.
After about 30 minutes, you will resume your journey to Torcello, a silent and charming island that is home to the oldest church in the lagoon. Here you will make a short 10-minute stop, perfect for soaking up the timeless atmosphere of this place and taking a few photos.
The tour continues to Burano, the island famous for its brightly coloured houses and long tradition of lace-making. You will sail along the historic canal, passing through the picturesque fish market area. You will disembark from the boat and have about 20 minutes to explore the island at your leisure, strolling through the colourful streets or stopping to sample some local specialities.
After fully experiencing the charms of Burano, you will begin the journey back to Venice to your starting point. The duration of the tour will be 4 hours.
