Cosa aspettarsi

Escape the crowds and experience the timeless charm of Venice’s lagoon islands on this half-day guided tour to Murano and Burano, known worldwide for their centuries-old craftsmanship.

Start with a scenic boat ride from central Venice to Murano, where your English-speaking guide will share fascinating insights as you pass beautiful sights along the way. On arrival, visit a traditional glassblowing workshop, where you’ll watch a master craftsman demonstrate this ancient art. Learn how silica becomes glass, what gives it colour, and the challenges of this intricate craft. After the demo, enjoy free time to explore the island and browse unique glass art pieces—special discounts available in selected shops.

Next, continue by boat to the colourful island of Burano, famous for its vibrant houses and historic lace making. Discover the stories behind the island’s colours and visit a lace workshop where women still hand-stitch delicate patterns using traditional methods passed down through generations. Hear how this once-thriving trade is now a rare and treasured art form.

Stroll the charming canals, sample local cookies, or shop for unique souvenirs before heading back to Venice. This tour offers a relaxing escape and an authentic glimpse into Venice’s rich artistic heritage.
