EXCLUSIVE MURANO, BURANO & TORCELLO TOUR

We highly suggest a private boat tour in Venice, especially during the busiest periods of the year, to get away from the crowd and the heat of the summer. Murano, Burano and Torcello Islands are known throughout the world for picturesque scenery, handicraft and history.

The first Island, MURANO, is famous for the antique art of making glass. Here you can take a demonstration tour inside a glass factory or visit the glass museum.

The main characteristic of BURANO, not far away from Murano, is the strong colors of its houses that create an extraordinary picture where light contrasts are impressive. Burano is a fisherman's island renowned for lace making.

Five minutes by boat from Burano we reach TORCELLO, the first island to be civilized in the Venetian Lagoon, with its magnificent Cathedral dating back to the 7th century and built by the Roman city of Altinum. Precious mosaics remain as testimony of its former glory.

We suggest the most exclusive way for touring the islands: a luxury private boat will pick you up at your apartment in Venice and will take you along the itinerary for € 100 per hour, up to 8 people. In this way you can decide when to go and for how long to stop in each island. English, French, Spanish and German speaking guides can be hired for extra € 80 per hour. Please contact us for further information and bookings.
