Activity itinerary

Murano

Maximize your time in Venice by uncovering the beauty and rich history of the iconic Venetian lagoon. Settle in aboard your private motorboat, shared exclusively with your group, and prepare to explore three of the most enchanting islands: Murano, Burano, and Torcello. Your adventure begins with free time in Murano, an island renowned worldwide for its exquisite blown glass. Stroll through its charming narrow streets, where you can admire and perhaps purchase unique, handcrafted glass pieces created by master artisans. To deepen your appreciation, you’ll visit a glass factory and learn about the intricate processes behind this centuries-old craft.

Burano

Next, journey to the vibrant island of Burano, celebrated for its lace-making tradition. Dating back to ancient times, Burano’s lace is a testament to the skill and dedication of Venetian seamstresses, who have cultivated a unique cultural heritage. As you explore, you'll be captivated by the island's picturesque fishermen's houses, each painted in vivid, joyful colors that glisten under the Venetian sun. The stunning scenery makes Burano a paradise for photographers and a place where every corner feels like a postcard.

Torcello

The final leg of your tour takes you to Torcello, the cradle of Venetian civilization. This island offers a glimpse into the past with its well-preserved monuments and churches. Visit the Church of Santa Fosca and the Byzantine Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, whose dazzling golden mosaics will leave you in awe. The serene beauty of Torcello provides a perfect conclusion to your journey through the Venetian lagoon, offering a deep connection to Venice's rich and storied past.
