Itinerary

1
Isola di Murano
1 hr - Once onboard the boat, you will begin sailing heading to Murano, where you will stop for one hour and 15 minutes. Here you will have the chance to visit one of the island’s glassworks and attend a demonstration of a master glassmaker (lasting about 15 minutes). Alternatively - or to follow - you can walk to the lighthouse or opt for a visit to the iconic sights of Murano, such as the Basilica of Santi Maria and Donato, the Glass Museum and Palazzo da Mula.
2
Stop 2
2 hr - The second stop of this day tour to the Venetian islands will be Burano with its colorful houses. In this hour and a half at your disposal, you can choose to visit some of the most interesting things like the leaning bell tower or the house of Bepi Suà, the Lace Museum which is housed in the historic Palazzo del Podestà of Torcello and which exhibits rare examples of this precious fabric, known and appreciated throughout the world.
3
Isola Torcello
1 hr - The last stop will be Torcello, where the Venetian civilization was born: the first settlements date back to the 7th century when local folks sought refuge on the island to escape the Barbarians’ invasions. Today Torcello has just over 10 inhabitants but its historical and artistic testimonies make it a very popular destination for visitors from all over the world. We suggest you visit the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, the ruins of the Baptistery of San Giovanni Evangelista, ‘Attila’s Throne" and the Devil's Bridge, today still wrapped in a mysterious legend.

Wonderful tour for a great price!

This was a great boat tour. And a great value for the money. I am prone to see sickness but that never happened. The island of Burano is especially beautiful, spend as much time there as possible. On Torricelli (the 3rd island) stop at the church bc that is where all the sites are, including access to the bell tower. You might want to game plan ahead of time the departure location of the boat tour.

Enjoyable day

We had a lovely day on this trip. It was well organised and planned out. Very reasonable price too. Got to see some interesting sights outside of venice. We loved Burano the best and would only say one negative was we didn't get enough time to spend here. We would have preferred less time at the other stops and more in Burano to explore. Over all a great day out! Would recommend.

A not so excited lagoon tour!!!

Recently we had this tour. The tour operator has done a pretty good job in organisation. The tour was well organised, and informed and disciplined. But the bad part was the tour itself. Murano, burano and torcello looks like ghost islands. I did not find it lively and it was very boring tour. There is nothing much to do here and most of the times, you will be looking to eat something when on island. If I had known this before, I would not have wasted my money and time here. Anyone going on these tours, I tell you in advance that you will not find anything which is not available on main land in Venice. My recommendation, if possible avoid it and spend time and money on something else.
