Cruise to the islands of Murano and Burano aboard a comfortable boat on this guided tour from Venice. Step back in time at the ancient Basilica of Saint Mary and Saint Donatus. Uncover the magic of traditional glass blowing at a factory and take in the vibrant houses of Burano.

Meet your local guide in a central location near Piazza San Marco and board a private boat to learn more about the Venetian lagoon and its islands.

Stop on the characteristic island of Murano, and visit the 7th-century Church of Santa Maria e San Donato.

Stroll through the silent streets for about 15 minutes to arrive at an old glass factory where the glass blowers are still working. Benefit for some free time to shop or explore the rest of the island.

Then, travel by private boat to the nearby island of Burano. Upon arrival, take in the colorful houses of one of the most enchanting parts of Venice. Lose yourself in the picturesque streets and discover lovely corners.

You will have free time to enjoy lunch on this tour.

Guide was really friendly and welcoming. She was very knowledgeable and made it a great experience. I really appreciated that the tour started on time. Not enough sun cover on boat transportation.

The guide Andre was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would have liked it better if there were less number in the group. For the purpose of buying Venetian glass products, purchase them in Burano. I found more variety and less expensive options too. The boat ride is beautiful, make sure you watch the sunset.

The tour was very good. The guide very friendly. Small proscecco tasting on board and demonstration by a glassblower. Only small regret: not having had more free time on the islands.

Important clarification: we first visit Burano; very nice for strolling around, but two hours is too short to include lunch and a possible visit to the museum! so you have to choose .... in Murano: the glassware is at the descent of the boat, the demonstration is nice but it is clearly a commercial operation. for non-English speakers; abstain because you completely miss the comments that make the excursion interesting.
