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. Last but not least, an insightful guided visit into an historical hand-made lace workshop.

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

5.00We had a great trip. We were met in the lobby of our hotel and took a short boat trip to a Murano glass bowing factory where we saw them blowing and shaping glass. From there we went to Burano to see the beautiful pastel colored houses and learned of its history. We walked some of the local streets/canals where we were the only people on the streets. We also saw the main area with shops, etc. From there we took a boat back to Venice.
