HIGHLIGHTS- Guided tour by boat from Saint Mark's Square
- Murano the island of glass and the chance to visit the workshop of a master glassmaker
- Burano the island of fishermen with colorful houses and the tradition of laces
- Torcello the ancient Venice with its traditions and its mysteries
DESCRIPTIONPass beyond the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, with its imposing church designed by Andrea Palladio between 1566 and 1610, go beside the gardens of Venice (the Giardini) and sail along the Lido (the beach resort of Venice).
There we come to Murano island, known worldwide for its glass masterpieces. Here you will have the chance to visit one of its glass workshops and see a glass master at work.
The second stop is Burano, a picturesque and colorful island in the middle of Venice lagoon: a group of four small islands connected by bridges. The island is famous not only for colorful fishermen houses, but also for its traditional lace making.
Leaving Burano, after a short ride you will get to Torcello: a quiet and sparsely inhabited island (it has only seventeen residents nowadays). The cathedral with its magnificent mosaics and the church of Santa Fosca testify the island's glorious past. Many legends shroud the island in mystery, like the Devil's Bridge story and that about the throne of Attila.
The half day boat tour to Murano, Burano, Torcello is lead by our qualified official guides.
