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.

Tour guides were informative and spoke many languages! The tour itself is a little underwhelming as (while VERY beautiful) Burano is quite dull. The glass blowing demonstration was great and some gorgeous artwork. Still a very good experience for the price.

Very good activity. However, it would be good to leave at least 30 minutes more free time on each island.

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

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

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, was well worth it. Would have liked to have spent a little longer on both islands but overall would recommend

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!

It's a great activity when you don't stay long in Venice. But as it is an activity that I really liked, if I come back, I will spend more time on each island because I find that an hour with everything there is to see. It goes way too fast.

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.
