Venetian Islands Tour in Murano Burano and Torcello

Discover the most famous islands of the Venetian Lagoon, each renowned for its picturesque beauty, artisan traditions, and unique history. Departing from near Piazza San Marco or Santa Lucia Station, enjoy a pleasant boat ride through the San Marco Basin, where a guide will share the rich history of the lagoon and the three islands you'll visit. Your first stop is Murano, the "island of glass," where you'll visit a glass factory and watch skilled artisans blow glass and create intricate works of art. After some free time in Murano, continue to Torcello, the oldest inhabited island, where you can explore its tranquil beauty. Next, head to Burano, a charming fishing island known for its vibrant houses and lace-making tradition. Take time to discover local lace and embroidery and enjoy some of the island’s famous homemade cakes. While the tour is guided to the glass factory and lace shop, you will have free time to explore the islands at your own pace.
