sightseeiconVENICE & ISLANDS: Luxury half day tour by private boat to Murano, Burano & Torcello

Meet your dedicated Tour Leader, stroll to the Saint Mark’s pier and set off, aboard a deluxe private motorboat, for an amazing and unforgettable Murano and Burano tour. Enjoy the fresh breezes and take in mesmerizing views of Venice’s palaces, churches and cupolas as you drift across the gently rippling waters of the lagoon, straight to Murano.
Small, picturesque, and colorful Murano is the haven of a uniquely charming local product: handcrafted glass. Wander through the island and discover how it all started back in 1291 when the glass furnaces in downtown Venice were moved here to reduce the risk of fires. Ever since, Murano’s talented glass manufacturers have been creating splendid objects, houseware, and works of art, including the stunning chandeliers that enhance many a palace and mansion.
Explore Murano’s quaint streets and admire the typical architecture before enjoying a fascinating Murano glass factory tour. See the workshop, and experience the thrill of an authentic insider’s view: a live glassblowing demonstration!
Board your private boat again and lay back to admire the view, enjoying a refreshing drink, while sailing on to Burano, the lagoon island famous for its fishermen, brightly colored houses, and superb handcrafted lace. Stroll through the little streets framed by multicolored homes, and appreciate the evocative atmosphere that fills the village.
Finally, set sail once more, and crown your day with a marvelous final stop in San Giorgio or Giudecca, to capture unusually superb vistas of Venice’s spire-topped skyline and enjoy a fine glass of sparkling chilled Prosecco.

INCLUSIONS:

• Transportation by luxury motorboat
• Expert tour leader
• Visit to glass blowing furnace in Murano
• Murano and Burano tour
