Full description

Spend some time on the most famous Venetian islands, known throughout the world for their picturesque scenery, craft traditions, and unique history. See a glass factory in Murano, visit a lace shop in Burano, and enjoy free time in Torcello.

Depart from near Saint Mark’s Square or Santa Lucia Train Station, and take an enjoyable trip across Saint Mark’s Basin. On the boat, a live guide will illustrate the history of the lagoon and the three islands you will visit. 

Your first stop will be the island of Murano, sometimes referred to as the “Island of the Glass.” Spend 30 minutes visiting one of its famous glass factories and see the glass being manufactured and blown. 

Enjoy about 15 minutes of free time on Murano before heading to Torcello, the most ancient of the inhabited islands. Continue to Burano, admiring the natural environment and the minor islands spread all around you.

Enjoy some free time in Burano, a typical fishing island with colorful contrasts and chocolate-box-painted houses. Look out, too, for much evidence of its renowned lace-making and embroidery industry, and try some of Burano’s notable homemade cakes.

Please note that once on the ground, this is not a guided tour. The guide will escort you to the glass factory in Murano and the lace shop in Burano. Afterward, you will have time to explore each island on your own.

Great tour if you are crunched for time! You get a good amount of time on each island. I think Burano is the nicest of course because of the colourful houses, but the others are pretty as well! You get about 45 min - an hour on each island which is just enough. For Burano - go straight to the centre and do the exploring! Very pretty photo places all around! :)

Short tour of 3 islands, roughly 50minutes at each one enough time to see glass blowing demonstration see some sights and get a coffee if you want - Burano was my favourite - if your short on time great way to see few of the islands - there is commentary on the boat can be a little difficult to hear at times but guide very approachable if any questions

Overall, it was really good for the price. You just need a lot more time on each island. It's recommend picking 1 islands and spending several hours or all day there. This tour is fine, but I didn't feel like I actually got to see the islands at all. Just not enough time.
