Embark on a half-day journey and discover the Venetian Lagoon. Departing from the Saint Mark area aboard a comfortable panoramic boat, immerse yourself in the stunning surroundings of Venice and gain insights into Venetian life and traditions.

As you cruise towards Murano, approximately 30 minutes away, a multilingual assistant will provide informative commentary about the islands. Upon arrival, visit a glass factory where a master glassmaker will demonstrate the art of glassblowing.

Discover the picturesque island of Burano, known for its vibrant, multicolored houses. Spend over an hour exploring this charming locale, where you can marvel at the craftsmanship of local lace makers and indulge in the island's renowned bussolai biscuits.

Return to Venice refreshed and inspired, reflecting on the serene beauty of the Venetian Lagoon and the memorable experiences of your journey.

This tour is a half-day experience in summer (April–October, 4.5 hours) and becomes longer during winter (November–March, 6 hours) to take full advantage of the daylight and let you fully enjoy Murano and Burano in a more immersive, relaxed way.
