Details

Travel to Murano, renowned for its glass-blowing industry, from the Piazzale Roma railway station. The still-thriving tradition, which dates back to the Middle Ages has been passed down through generations and each glass blower has developed their own unique style.

During your one-hour stay on the island, learn to distinguish between the various brands and artisans by watching a glass-blowing demonstration. Continue on to the island of Burano, which is famous for its crochet work and colorful houses.

The leaning bell tower and the main square, Piazza Baldassarre Galuppi, which is named after a significant Venetian composer from the 18th century, provide stunning views of Burano. During your 1.5-hour visit to the island, browse the lace shops. After that, end your trip on Piazza San Marco, where you can stroll around the famous colonnades and see landmarks like the Doge's Palace and Campanile.

Important to know

  • There is a multilingual live commentary onboard the boat
  • Trips are available everyday of the week
  • You will have approximately 1 hour in Murano (including 20 minutes at the glass-blowing demonstration) and approximately 1 hour in Burano

The guide did not explain everything in French during the crossing. And the time we have left to discover Murano and Burano is really not enough.

Very nice visit to the Burano and Murano islands, but not enough time to visit well, the glass blower was very fast and after a short time to visit Murano, and for Burano not had time to eat because 45 mins free but no time to do both, so it's been visited. I had taken the guided tour on the boat, well not had, just English and Italian so nothing understood. Otherwise nice discovery of the Islands it was very pretty.

This is 100% worth doing! We had the BEST tour guide who spoke 4 languages. The glass blowing was amazing in Murano and the lace at the last stop was beautiful and so much to choose from. Awesome pizza on that island at the far end too We HIGHLY recommend doing this tour!

The tour was in French Italian and English. not a word! although quite a lot of German were on board. Murano is nice but more of an outlet. Burano definitely worth a trip
