Highlights

Meet your guide near St. Mark’s Square and travel across the lagoon by boat, leaving the busy streets of Venice behind. Arrive first in Murano, world-famous for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Visit a local glass factory and watch master craftsmen shape molten glass into elegant works of art during a live demonstration. Afterward, enjoy a guided stroll through Murano and learn about the island’s history and local life before continuing across the lagoon. Next, arrive in colorful Burano, known for its vibrant fishermen’s houses and lace-making heritage. Enjoy free time to explore the picturesque streets, browse local shops, and taste traditional bussolà cookies. Relax on the scenic boat ride back to Venice with your small group.

About Venice
Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.
The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.
Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
