Semi-Private Murano & Burano Experience
Overview
Embark on a semi-private guided tour from Venice to Murano and Burano and discover two of the Venetian Lagoon’s most famous traditions.
Meet your guide near St. Mark’s Square and travel across the lagoon by boat, leaving the busy streets of Venice behind.
