The best experience to learn about the old arts of Venice lagoon islands: Murano and Burano.
With a private boat from Venice, directly to the oldest original Murano Glass Factory, where a Master glassblower and his team are working daily, following the tradition of centuries ago. From Murano, crossing the lagoon, we’ll reach Burano island, famous for its lace work and the colourful atmosphere. Walking by picturesque houses, enjoying the typical “bussolai” (famous cookies of the island), feeling like a resident.

5.00From start to finish, the experience was absolutely amazing. Hats off to our excellent guide, Sebastian, who made the entire journey truly special with his deep knowledge, friendly approach, and engaging personality. We laughed, learned, and most importantly, had a wonderful time throughout. If we were to visit again, we would undoubtedly request Sebastian as our guide once more. Top-notch service – highly recommended!

5.00Murano and Burano are special places to visit. It gives a different dimension to your Venice experience. Sebastiano was a great guide and taught us the many things to know about these two Islands. We especially enjoyed our uncrowded walk on Burano. Thank you for making this tour available to us.

5.00I had the best half day to Murano and Burano with Mikayla. She is splendid - friendly, knowledgeable about the history and places. It was like spending a day with my best friend. As a solo traveler, the guide you have can make all the experience and Mikayla is the best! Grazie Mille!

5.00Wonderful private tour of Murano and Burano for my fmaily of six adults. The guide met us promptly and took us to our boat. The private boat ride itself was a treat. We really enjoyed our visit to the Murano Glass Factory and watching the masters create glass art. Then off to Burano which is incredibly beautiful and filled with multicolored homes and buildings, We watched as Nonna was hand crafting lace and then did some shopping. We had a wonderful guide, Mario, who showed us the islands and explained a lot of their history. It was was a very enjoyable afternoon!

5.00Leonardo was the perfect guide for this lovely afternoon! Hotel pickup and drop off was seamless. The boat rides were so much fun. Time on Murano and Buranro felt unrushed. We had an amazing time and wished we had another reason to spend the afternoon with Leonardo.
Superb private tour
