Venice to Burano Boat Tour

Three islands, one relaxed half-day on the water. Cruise the Venetian lagoon by boat to Murano, where a master glassblower shapes molten glass at the furnace; to Burano, a fishing village of candy-coloured houses famous for its handmade lace; and to Torcello, the quiet, green island where Venice was born, home to a 7th-century cathedral and its golden Byzantine mosaics. Onboard commentary in English sets the scene between stops, and you get free time on every island to wander, photograph and shop at your own pace. Round-trip boat transfer from central Venice is included, so there is no queuing for public ferries.
