Venice Islands’ tour
Exclusive half day boat tour to Murano, Burano and Torcello islands
Shopping, leisure and religious heritage
After all the guided tours and museums, it is high time to relax! Keep your last day in Venice to enjoy a boat ride and rest your feet! This tour is a mix of shopping and leisure: the lulling of the water, the smell of bakeries where the most popular biscotti are prepared everyday, the traditional or modern lace and the expensive glass. . . .But our first stop will bring you back to Venice origins!
Torcello, Burano and Murano islands
The abandoned island of Torcello is located 45 minutes North of Venice. Here we visit the oldest building in the lagoon, the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
Burano instead, is a lovely fishing village famous for lace, colorful houses and delicious cookies. A nice walk across the island will easily take us to a next door place called Mazzorbo, with its vegetable gardens and a recently restored vineyard. Here we get our boat and proceed to Murano to admire the art of glassblowing in a family run studio.
