Itinerary
After meeting your assistant, you'll board a boat to cruise the Venice lagoon. You'll pass landmarks such as San Giorgio Maggiore and the Lido en route to Venice's most notable islands: Murano and Burano
The first stop is Murano, celebrated for its handmade glass factories. You'll learn about the glassblowing process and can purchase a souvenir.
You'll also have free time to explore the island, including the Basilica of Santa Maria and Donato, one of the oldest churches in the Venetian lagoons, built in the 7th century. The Murano visit lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Next, you'll continue to Burano, where you'll spend about 1.5 hours. Burano is one of the Venetian Lagoon's most charming islands, known for its colorful facades, small canals, handmade lace production, and the leaning bell tower of its only church.
The island's vibrant colors originated from fishermen painting their houses in bright hues for easier identification when returning from the sea.
On the way back, get ready for an unforgettable panoramic tour of the Venice lagoon. The boat ride will allow you to see some of the most spectacular views of the city from the water. You will sail along Punta Sabbioni and the elegant beaches of Venice's Lido, then admire the majestic silhouette of the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, with its iconic church designed by Palladio.
The journey culminates with a triumphant entrance to St. Mark's Basin, one of the most iconic panoramas in the world. Here you can capture vivid postcards of Piazza San Marco, the Campanile, the Basilica, the Doge's Palace and the golden reflections dancing on the water at sunset.
A perfect experience for lovers of photography, history and the unfiltered beauty of Venice, where every corner looks like something out of a painting.
