Island Hopping Tour: Mazzorbo, Burano and Murano

Hop from island to island between the serene nature of Mazzorbo, the colourful houses of Burano, and the artistic glass scene of Murano.
Hop from island to island between Mazzorbo, Burano, & Murano! Watch colourful houses wiggle with delight at their reflections in the Canal of Burano, witness artistry in action at the glass factories and artisanal workshops in Murano, engage with vivid biblical tales on byzantine mosaics under glittering golden medieval church apses and marvel at the quiet, serene nature of Mazzorbo and the lagoon.

We will have a fancy stroll in Mazzorbo, one of the quietest and idyllic islands in the lagoon where less than 300 people live. We will wander around in its lush gardens, stunning vineyards and a beautiful monastery.

We will visit one of the most ancient churches in the lagoon, a real hidden gem.

We will walk and relax n the magical atmosphere of this walled vineyard, which hosts a native Venetian grape, the Dorona.

We will stroll alongside the lagoon with one of the most amazing views until we reach the long bridge that connects Mazzorbo to Burano. Famous for its brightly colored houses, its fine lace production and the freshest seafood, Burano is ‘bellisimo’

We will stop in one house in particular that pops with color and is a real eye-catcher, as it is decorated with geometric forms like squares, triangles, circles and all colors of the rainbow.

We will cross this bridge with a stunnig view among the cutest boats at the dock and fisherman houses.

We will wander down secret alleys until we reach the bridge of Terranova from where we can enjoy the most breathtaking view of the leaning bell tower of the church and from where you can really see how sharp its slope is.

We will stroll through the only square in the island where lace makers are at work at a traditional lace atelier. We will also check out the Love Viewing Bridge that connects three canals and three of the most colorful streets of Burano, before hopping on the water bus to Murano.

The glass-making island of Murano is the perfect island to top off your half a day trip and go off the beaten track, to places no tourists ever come

We will make our way to a unique artisan workshop where you can admire the fantastic skills of a lampwork artist who make impressive works of glass.

We will see together how glass artisans and factories are bringing forward the glassblowing tradition strolling along the Rio dei Vetrai (“canal of the glassmakers”).

We will step in the the oldest glass factory in the world, admiring together how tradition, design and fashion can be combined together.

We will then discover some hidden gems of Murano as this church, hiding masterpieces from the Renaissance and stunning glass chandeliers.

We will wander around more hidden gems like an impressive industrial complex where they used to make beads

We will discover this byzantine church and its XII century mosaics
