During this half-day excursion, the guide will accompany you to discover the most beautiful islands of the lagoon, Murano, Burano and Torcello, on board one of the strangest types of bus in the world: the vaporetto! The best friend of every Venetian since 1895, when it started its unbeatable service!

At 9am we will start an early, intimate, unforgettable and relaxing trip on the lagoon. The next stop is Torcello, the first Venetian community 17 centuries ago. Today the last 9 inhabitants still live in a "city of the Dark Ages" where everything is as it was many centuries ago. From the top of their Romanesque tower, you'll have a breathtaking view of Venice's lagoon!
