About this experience
Discover the beauty of the Venice Lagoon on a full-day Murano, Burano, and Torcello boat tour, departing from San Marco or with an optional shuttle from Santa Lucia Station. Cruise across the lagoon on a comfortable water taxi while your guide shares insights into Venice’s most iconic islands. Enjoy a visit to an authentic Murano glass factory, where a master glassblower demonstrates traditional techniques, followed by free time to explore local boutiques and canals.
Continue your Venice island day trip in Burano, famous for its brightly colored houses and centuries-old lace-making tradition. Spend two hours enjoying lunch, tasting a Venetian spritz, or strolling through its postcard-perfect streets. The final stop is Torcello, the oldest settlement in the lagoon, where you can admire the stunning Byzantine mosaics inside the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta or wander the peaceful island paths. Conclude your experience with a scenic return to San Marco in the early evening.
What travellers say about us
4.8“Walking onto the arena floor was unreal”
Our guide made ancient Rome feel alive. Walking through the Gladiator’s Gate onto the arena floor was the single best moment of our whole trip to Italy.

“The underground is a must”
A completely different experience down in the hypogeum. Our guide knew everything and the small group meant our kids could ask endless questions.

“Best day of our trip”
Positano from the water is unforgettable. The skipper found coves you could never reach by land, and the limoncello didn’t hurt either.

“Came hungry, left family”
Every stop felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. The pasta course alone justified the flight to Rome.
