Mitchell – Australia

This was the best way to see the Venetian islands in one day! We also had plenty of time on each island to see everything (they are small so not loads to see anyway!). Burano was our favourite but each island was so unique! The audio on the boat was very hard to hear so we missed a lot of that information, but otherwise everything was great!

Excellent, considering we thought we'd missed the boat. At the last possible moment, we were found by the tour company! The guides speak five languages and provide a good overview of each stop and the lagoon. The boats are clean. The stops are beautiful, interesting, and humbling (all the ingenuity and labor that have created these wondrous places!). A perfect day trip and a great tour company. Thanks!

Full description

Sail across the emerald waters of the Venice lagoon on this full day trip to the islands of Burano, Murano and Torcello. Choose from an option with a shuttle transfer from S. Lucia Train Station to the departure point in San Marco or pick a tour option that meets in San Marco. 


Hop aboard a comfortable water taxi in the morning and glide through the Lagoon of Venice. Admire views from the boat's panoramic terrace and listen to commentary from your guide. 


Upon arrival at your first stop, Murano, find out why the island is renowned for its glassworks with a visit to a local glass factory. Watch a skilled artisan during a glass processing demonstration. Afterward, have approximately an hour on the island for shopping in one of the many glass shops.


Next, head for Burano, which is known for its lacework and brightly colored houses. Follow your guide to the heart of the town and have 2 hours of free time to purchase a nice lunch, typical Venetian aperitifs, or get an ice cream at one of the many cafes. 


Venture from Burano to Torcello, the first center of civilization in the estuary. Spend an hour of free time where you can go to see the Venetian-Byzantine mosaics at the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta. Return to San Marco in the early evening.

Really glad we took this excursion. The glass blowing demonstration was really amazing - could have watched that for hours. Incredible how talented the glass blower is. And then walking up and down the streets with all the glass shops was so unique - never saw anything like that before. Otherwise the towns/islands were beautiful and made for a great day.
