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.

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.

During the trip, the guide tells you in 4 languages what you can see outside the boat and some facts about the islands. On top of the deck it was very cold so on the way back we sat down nice and warm. The time we had on Murano was less than an hour. More time would have been nicer. On Burano we had 70 minutes and this was perfect.

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 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.

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!

Everything was good! Murano good experience but the glass show is too touristic targeted. Burano very nice with great restaurants, but 1 hour is not enough for a normal lunch. We had to run to the boat. Left us at 1:30 at the shore and pick up time was 2:30. 45 minutes more would’ve been perfect. The tour guide amazing!

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.

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