Overview
Join a fantastic tour aboard a stylish boat, with a hostess providing commentary throughout the trip, leading you to discover the Venetian Lagoon and its most beautiful islands: Murano and Burano.
Departing from Piazza San Marco, you will journey towards the northern part of the Venetian Lagoon, arriving at the first stop of the day, Murano. Renowned since the 1200s for its exquisite glassmaking, you will have the opportunity to explore the town and watch a live glassblowing demonstration where skilled artisans create stunning vases, glasses, and other forms, demonstrating Murano's artistic heritage.
After exploring Murano, we will proceed to Burano, best known for its vibrant fishermen's houses, which legend says were painted in bright colors to be seen in the thick winter fog. As you stroll through the town, you can observe elderly women crafting lace by hand and try the typical local dessert, bussolà.
