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 guide onboard the boat
- Trips are performed everyday of the week
- You will have 1 hour and 30 minutes in Burano and approximately 45 minutes in Murano (incl. 20 minutes at the glass-blowing demonstration room)

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

Great trip, we went in early November so it was not too busy. This was a gift to us from relatives, and was most enjoyable

Lovely morning trip to Murano and Burano. Guide was really good. Would have liked a little more time in Burano to wander round and grab some lunch

The tour started on time and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The guide spoke English a little bit quickly and was very difficult to understand (this was also due to the fact that the mostly Italian-speaking guests immediately began to parley after the explanation given in Italian and thus caused an additional noise level). The meeting point was described in detail in the confirmation email - but there was no sign or other information (beach flag, sign, button, parasol with logo or the like) to be seen at the meeting point. The boat arrived very punctually, so there was no "blue" ship to be seen. This was better solved on the tours in Amsterdam or Copenhagen. Personally, I would like more detailed explanations of the sights - it was a bit superficial.

We went on the tour today and thought it was fantastic! Everything was very smooth, easy to find and the tour itself was great! Georgia who led the tour was brilliant and her knowledge of the area as well as her ability to speak 4 different languages fluently was incredible! We would definitely recommend and if we return to Venice again in the future we will book again!

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.

We booked the lagoon tour with a German-speaking tour guide, unfortunately only Italian, Spanish, English and French were spoken. Since the ship's engines are very loud, there was hardly anything to understand in the back rows. The islands of Murano and Burano are very beautiful. Unfortunately, the time spent on the islands was shorter than described in the booking.

The three islands are lovely, but Murano and all it's glass were cut short. It is the most famous island w the most on it but we spent the least free time there.
