Why you’ll love this…
  • Discover the 3 islands of the Venice Lagoon in one day
  • Participate in a glass-making demonstration on Murano Island
  • Visit Burano, famous for the lace and the colored houses, and Torcello
What to expect

Your first stop on this full-day excursion is Murano, where you will visit a local glass factory to discover why the island is renowned for its glassworks. Watch a skilled craftsman demonstrate glass making and enjoy an hour on the island to shop at one of the many glass shops.

Next, head to Burano, known for its lace and brightly colored houses. Follow the guide into the heart of the city and take advantage of 2 hours of free time to buy a good lunch, taste typical Venetian aperitifs, or have ice cream in one of the many bars.

Finally, venture from Burano to Torcello, the first center of civilization in the estuary. Spend an hour of free time when you can go and see the Venetian-Byzantine mosaics at the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta. You will return to San Marco in the early evening.

You can choose between the following options available in the order box: departure from Venezia San Marco and departure from Venice railway station.

    Travelled as a couple


    Die Boote waren unterschiedlicher Bauart, aber alle gut gepflegt. Wir hatten einen Guide, der ungelogen in 5 Sprachen und in unterhaltsamer Weise historisches, amysantes und kulturell relevantes Wissen zum Besten gab. Die Besichtigung der Glasmanufaktur mit Showblasen war beeindruckend. Im Shop konnten wir uns gepflegt mit Souveniers versorgen, im Vergleich zu Venedig war die Ersparnis dabei ca. 30%. Burano war richtig bunt und schön. Unbedingt Fisch essen! Torcello war historisch schön. A+++

    Ottima esperienza, l'unica cosa è che avrei preferito passare più tempo nelle due isole Murano e Burano

    Ho constatato molta disorganizzazione in fase di imbarco alla zona Stazione. Non c'era personale sul posto ad accoglierci ed era un continuo arrivare di barche per le gite che ci respingevano fino a quando non è arrivata una barca ad un orario diverso da quello previsto che ci ha fatto salire.
