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.

We throughly enjoyed both islands. The tour (Andrea) was excellent and very knowledgeable. We had a smaller boat take us to the main boat which on arriving was slightly crowded. However, lots got off at Murano and when we went onto Burano it was more enjoyable. The only thing we found at both islands we could have done with more time. The boat rise back was really relaxing and just enjoying the scenery with only a couple of handfuls of people. Another extremely enjoyable trip

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Very nice activity. Two pretty islands to visit. A little more time on Murano would be better.

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.
