Venice Premium Lagoon Excursion

Discover the quieter side of Venice on a small-group boat tour to Murano and Burano. Enjoy a glassblowing demo in Murano, explore Burano’s Lace Museum with included tickets, and learn about local artisan traditions with a knowledgeable guide.

Meet your local guide and a small group of up to 20 guests in central Venice to board your private boat. As you cruise through the lagoon, your guide will highlight key landmarks and share insights into the history of Venice’s island settlements.

Your first stop is Murano, world-renowned for its glassmaking heritage since the 13th century. Enjoy a live demonstration at a working glass factory, then take some free time to explore the island on your own.

Next, visit Burano, famous for its colorful houses and rich lacemaking tradition. Discover its charm on a guided walking tour, then choose to visit a traditional lace workshop, explore the Museo del Merletto (Lace Museum), or enjoy free time wandering the canals and squares. (Note: The museum is closed on Mondays, but a lace-making demonstration and showroom visit will be offered instead.)
