Full description
On this tour you will reach Murano, Burano and Torcello from St Mark’s Square, the heart of Venice: the boarding point is in Riva degli Schiavoni, a few steps from St Mark’s Square. Get onboard a comfortable motorboat with a covered cabin and set off to discover the lagoon.
Let the beauty of cruising around Venice sweep you away: as you head towards the islands you will admire the lagoon in all its beauty and fall in love with the view of the city as seen from afar. You will be accompanied by a multilingual guide who will tell you interesting cultural facts on what you see.
Murano
In Murano you can watch the demonstration of a master glassmaker lasting about 15 minutes, who will create some mouth-blown glass objects in front of your eyes. If you are not interested in visiting the glass factory, you can explore the island at leisure. We recommend you take a tour of the Basilica dei Santi Maria and Donato, or visit the Glass Museum or Palazzo da Mula. The stop is about an hour.
Burano
Colorful houses reflected in the green water of the canals, women sitting outside embroidering the traditional lace, children playing in the street and fishermen unloading the fish from their boats make Burano a truly fascinating island. We recommend that you hunt for the most eye-catching features, such as the leaning bell tower or the house of Bepi Suà, the most colorful on the island. The Lace Museum should also not be missed,
We also have some tips for your lunch: Trattoria da Romano or Trattoria al Gatto Nero are a safe bet. Osteria ai Pescatori and the Osteria al Museo are also excellent, but a little more expensive. Whatever your choice... you won’t help but licking your chops! The stop in the island will last about two hours.
Torcello
Torcello is the cradle of Venetian civilization: the first settlements date back to the 7th century when people sought refuge on the island to escape the barbarian invasions. The historical and artistic testimonies make it a very popular destination for visitors from all over the world: you can visit the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, the ruins of the Baptistery of San Giovanni Evangelista, 'Attila’s Throne' and the legendary Devil's Bridge.
You will have about an hour for your visit. At the end of it, get back on the boat to return to Venice and finish your excursion.

'Bellissima giornata'
Abbiamo passato una bellissima giornata. Le soste in ogni isola sono adeguate per quanto riguarda il tempo, in questo modo si riescono a visitare i siti d'interesse e girare completamente l'isola. Anche la dimostrazione all'isola di Murano è ben organizzata. Le curiosità dateci a bordo dalla guida sono molto interessanti.
Strengths
Soste lunghe nelle isole, organizzazione
Weaknesses
Nessuna copertura al piano superiore della barca
