Overview
This is a beautiful half-day tour of the Venetian lagoon and some of the most colourful islands in Italy! It's incredible value for money and offers visitors to Venice a chance to get away from the crowds and experience authentic Venice. On this tour, you will sail to Murano to see how the beautiful coloured glass is made, then on to the pretty islands of Burano and Torcello. After sailing past the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the Public Gardens, the tip of Sant'Elena and the famous Lido beach resort, the boat arrives in Murano, known throughout the world for its glass manufacturing industry. Here we stop for around 40 minutes to visit to one of the factories.
The second stop of the tour is at the picturesque island of Burano, famous not only for its lace but also for the fishermen's houses painted in bright colours. The stop will last about 30 minutes. Then after a short cruise, we reach Torcello, the earliest centre of civilization in the estuary. Only the Cathedral with its magnificent mosaics and the church of Santa Fosca remain as testimony of its former glory.
The stop will be for about 30 minutes then we return to St.Mark's Square.
