Full description
Have you ever seen a master glassmaker turn fire into sculpture?
It happens in Murano, the first stop on your 3-hour private excursion aboard a vintage motorboat. Departing from Venice, you will sail to Burano and Torcello lulled by the waves and a welcome drink.
Together with a Venetian DOC skipper, you will discover the most authentic and relaxed side of the lagoon!
What we will do
The rendezvous is at the indicated time at the meeting point concurrently with the skipper in Venice (VE) .
You will set sail on board a vintage motorboat and head towards Murano. During navigation, you will enjoy a welcome drink offered by the skipper, who will describe the sights and curiosities you will encounter along the way between the islands of the Venice Lagoon.
In Murano you will be able to disembark for about 20-25 minutes and watch the glassmakers at work in the historic furnaces for free. It will be a unique opportunity to see how a work of art shaped by heat is created!
You will then sail to Burano, the island famous for its brightly coloured houses. You'll have about 25 minutes of free time ashore to stroll through its calli and go wild with photos!
You will then reach Torcello, the oldest and quietest island in the lagoon. Here too you will make a short 15-20 minute stop to walk through the peace of its gardens to the Basilica, immersing yourself in an atmosphere suspended in time. .
Finally, you will return to your starting point admiring the last glimpses of the lagoon from the water. The activity will last a total of 3 hours.
