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.

    Well organised and the whole ferry journey was awesome. It is such a memorable day trip which also given a choice to go to Torchello island which is a bonus. The tour is a bargain and I had a fabulous time. We were also given around 2 hours in colourful island of Burano and plenty of seafood lunch. Those on limited time and first timer will definitely enjoy this Wonderful tour with multi lingual tour guide. Reached Piazza Roma at 5.30 pm from 10.30 am

    This was a great quick tour! Stayed true to the time estimate and gave enough time to explore each place but not so much that you ran out of things to do. The glass blowing demonstration was super cool, and the colorful island of Burano was adorable and fun to visit!

    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.

    Nice and well organized tour. Both I and the children (14 and 9 years old) appreciated it a lot. However, it would have been nice to have spent half an hour more in Burano so that you would have had time to both eat and walk around.

    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.

    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!

    In a month long tour of Europe this was one of the very best things we did, loved it! Boat ride was fab, then Burano so beautiful and Murano glass workshop amazing! Really worth every Euro - thought it would cost a lot, lot more. 10/10

    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.
