Overview

Set sail aboard an authentic Venetian bragozzo, a traditional boat that once sailed the lagoon and now gives you a unique experience among Venice's most fascinating islands. This tour will take you to discover Murano, where you will visit a historic furnace with live demonstration of the art of blown glass: a centuries-old heritage that you can admire up close!
You will continue to Burano, famous for its colorful houses and the tradition of lace. You will have free time to explore the island, photograph every corner and taste the local flavors in a restaurant recommended by the skipper. The tour continues with a panoramic cruise through Torcello, the cradle of Venetian civilization, and next to the silent island of San Francesco del Deserto, still inhabited today by Franciscan friars.
An authentic, relaxing experience away from crowded circuits, perfect for those who want to live the true soul of the lagoon in a slow, intimate and unforgettable way.

Murano

In Murano we will open the doors of an authentic furnace, far from the tourist circuits, where you can witness the magic of glass come to life in the first row. Before your eyes, fire, sand and skill come together in a fascinating ritual that transforms glowing glass into vases, sculptures and works of art. An exclusive and private experience, which will make you touch one of the oldest and most prestigious traditions of Venice. After the demonstration, you can browse the creations of the furnace: a unique opportunity to take home an authentic and precious memory.

Burano

Burano will captivate you with its colorful houses, reflections on the water and the lively atmosphere of a unique island in the world. After a walk through the narrow streets and canals, you will have free time to discover the island at your own pace: take photos, browse the craft shops or simply enjoy the tranquility of the place. For those who wish, it will be possible to attend a brief demonstration of the ancient buranello lace, symbol of the Venetian female tradition. The stop is enriched with an optional lunch in one of the most authentic restaurants on the island, recommended directly by our skippers: lagoon cuisine, fresh fish and an atmosphere that only Burano can offer.

Torcello

While sailing from Burano to San Francesco del Deserto we will pass through to the island of Torcello, the oldest in the Venetian lagoon. From the boat you can admire the profile of the historic Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, the famous Devil’s Bridge and the pristine lagoon landscapes that surround the island. Our skippers will tell you curiosities and legends related to this fascinating place, cradle of Venetian civilization. A short but suggestive panoramic bracket that enriches the tour with the millenary history of Torcello, without going ashore.

Q: Will I get seasick on Explore Murano Burano and Torcello in semi-private bragozzo?
