Details

Set sail from Venice on a scenic boat tour to the enchanting islands of Murano and Burano. Departing from either San Marco or the Venice train station (depending on the tour), you'll cruise through the lagoon aboard a comfortable boat with panoramic views.

In Murano, watch a live glass-blowing demonstration and learn about the island’s centuries-old craft. You'll also have free time to explore the island's glass shops and quiet canals.

Next, head to Burano, known for its brightly colored houses and lace-making traditions. Stroll the charming streets, take photos, or relax at a café—there’s time to enjoy the island at your own pace.

Tour durations vary:

4.5 hours: Visit both islands with a guided glass demo and free time.

7 hours: Includes extended time on each island plus around 2 hours of free time in Venice—perfect for discovering St. Mark’s Square, browsing shops, or enjoying a spritz by the canal.

In the evening, return to your original departure point, full of memories from the lagoon's most beautiful islands.

The trip was well led, the glass blowing demonstration was really neat, and both islands are beautiful. We had about an hour on Murano (including the glass-blowing demonstration) and an hour and a half on Burano. I would switch that to spend more time on Murano. Otherwise, the trip was a lot of fun!

The weather was awsome, so the trip was great. The kids (8-13 years) loved it-especially the glass factory presentation and the things at the store were really beautiful, too. So I would recomend it to the tourists with kids. The Burano island was beautiful. We also managed to get some pizza (even glutenfree) there, which was delicious and inexpensive.

The first stop was too short, after the glass demonstration and a little wonder by their shop you have almost no time to explore the place outside!! We did the half day because we couldn't book the full day anymore so this still a good alternative but of you have time go for a full day trip.

Very good organization, multi-language explanation throughout the journey. Only downside, arrival directly in the glass factory in Murano, and despite a beautiful demonstration of the glassblower, ..., the visit to Murano lasted only fifteen minutes! The visit to Burano was longer and more enjoyable...

The demonstration at the glass factory in Murano is very interesting, but very short. It is necessary to control your time carefully during stops, especially if you need to eat something. The audio from the guide's microphone was very bad and I couldn't understand it very well. Overall, the trip is worth it.

It is a 4-hour tour that allows you to visit Burano and a glass factory in Murano. If you have little time available it is ideal, but if you want to make a more detailed visit, another tour is better.

Really nice and iconic excursion when staying in Venice. The Murano tour and demonstration at the glass factory was superb! 1h30 of free time in Burano, a very nice and colorful little fishing island. I advise you to dress well on the boat because it was very very cold (period at the end of February) We do not regret this excursion!

Boat on time and easy to find guide. View from boat to islands was beautiful and guide was very informative. The glass products (and demonstration) at Murano was mind blowing. Definitely buy there as it is cheaper than in Venice. Burano is also beautiful. Would have loved to spent more time there, but a wonderful trip to see the two islands.

We throughly enjoyed both islands. The tour (Andrea) was excellent and very knowledgeable. We had a smaller boat take us to the main boat which on arriving was slightly crowded. However, lots got off at Murano and when we went onto Burano it was more enjoyable. The only thing we found at both islands we could have done with more time. The boat rise back was really relaxing and just enjoying the scenery with only a couple of handfuls of people. Another extremely enjoyable trip
