Embark on a semi-private guided tour from Venice to Murano and Burano and discover two of the Venetian Lagoon’s most famous traditions.
Meet your guide near St. Mark’s Square and travel across the lagoon by boat, leaving the busy streets of Venice behind. Arrive first in Murano, world-famous for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Visit a local glass factory and watch master craftsmen shape molten glass into elegant works of art during a live demonstration.
Afterward, enjoy a guided stroll through Murano and learn about the island’s history and local life before continuing across the lagoon.
Next, arrive in colorful Burano, known for its vibrant fishermen’s houses and lace-making heritage. Enjoy free time to explore the picturesque streets, browse local shops, and taste traditional bussolà cookies.
Relax on the scenic boat ride back to Venice with your small group.
