Details

Visit the most beautiful islands in the Venetian Lagoon on this 4.5 or 6-hour afternoon trip. Stop at the island of Murano, home to world-renowned glassblowers, Burano, known for its lace production and the ancient settlement of Torcello.

Stop at Murano and see a demonstration by a glass-blowing master. The tradition of glassblowing has been passed down generations of Murano residents.

Continue to Torcello and see the central square, the Church of Santa Fosca, Ponte del Diavolo and other interesting sites.

The last visit will be to Burano. The island is world-known for its hand-made lace but also for its small, brightly painted houses that are popular with artists.

Your tour ends back in Saint Mark’s Square. If you want, you can stay on board and be taken directly to the train station for an additional cost — just ask your tour guide.

• Tour commentary in English, Italian, Spanish, French during boat rides
• Both the 4.5 and the 6-hour boat trips have the same itinerary, the 6-hour trip stays at each stop for longer
• The journey time between each island is approximately 30 minutes
• Please bring a packed lunch if you prefer to enjoy more time exploring the island (not included)

I was a nice experience and we saw a lot of interesting things.The only problem was that the program was a bit tight and we didn't have a lot of time in any of the islands to really enjoy them or even sit for a quick coffee. We were on the run the whole times. On top of that they combined 3 groups in one so the boat was a bit crowded and we didn't have a proper place to sit between the island hopping. (We sut on the stairs)

Glass display was great. We enjoyed torcello too. It was quiet but charming. Burano by far the best. We were delivered in a chaotic way. Started at 2pm then had to change boats and joined us with a massive group. Didn't get going til 2.45. When stopping at burano they said they were going and someone would be back for us at 6. This was a little worrying. They turned up just to take us back and it felt like no connection with new people. Didn't get back til 7 so longer than expected. Great trip for price but ours felt chaotic.

a lot of free time in murano, little in burano, and a visit to torcello is unnecessary, where there is nothing to see. Anyway the tour was good

It was a unique experience! The guide on board the boat told us several interesting things about Venice and the islands, he was very kind and helpful. The islands are wonderful, we witnessed a beautiful demonstration of glass and lace, truly spectacular! We recommend this beautiful boat trip to everyone, excellent value for money!

Boat ride was not shaky that i would commend Its worth visiting and the tour price was reasonable love the picturesque church at torcello which hyped the italian vibes. Murano was nice too with all the glass shops and would definitely recommend to buy here souvenir glass bracelets! And ofcourse burano the instagrammable area with all the colorful houses

I liked it a lot. During the boat ride they explain detailed things to you and then you have 1 hour free on all the islands. In Murano it falls short, there you could do an hour and a quarter and Torcello 45 minutes

I highly recommend this experience! I had a small mishap before departure, but the staff were really helpful and I finally managed to take the tour…and it was worth it! Perfect organization, very prepared escort who provided us with a lot of explanations and many curiosities of which I had no idea, kindness and professionalism on everyone's part. I had a really nice afternoon! I advise!

Nice tour, well organised. The longest break in Murano is excellent, perfect for having a leisurely lunch and then visiting the island. Burano is also very beautiful. The boat crew very kind and helpful. Well done
