Venice Lagoon Islands Boat Tour with Murano, Burano, and Torcello

Your tour begins in Riva degli Schiavoni, Venice

Meet a team member at the designated check-in point, four bridges from Saint Mark’s Square toward the Arsenale. Board the comfortable large boat with a panoramic deck and begin sailing across the emerald-colored waters of the Venetian Lagoon.

Murano

The first stop is Murano, the island famous worldwide for its historic glassmaking tradition. Head directly to a local factory to watch a skilled craftsman during a live, intricate glass-blowing demonstration. Afterwards, enjoy one hour of free time!

Burano

Next, travel to Burano, the fishing island recognizable by its streetscapes of brightly colored houses and long history of delicate lace production. Head to the town center for two hours of free time to have lunch and explore.

Torcello

Then travel from bright Burano to Torcello, the oldest settlement in the lagoon area. You have one hour of free time here. Use this time to visit the old Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta to see its famous Venetian-Byzantine mosaics.

Your tour ends with return to Saint Mark's Square

The boat excursion ends with a return trip across the lagoon, dropping you off near the original departure point at San Marco. This central location leaves you perfectly situated in the heart of Venice.
