What makes Murano, Burano and Torcello Half-Day Sightseeing Tour a unique experience ?

Navigate through the Venetian Lagoon to reach the islands and enjoy the view!

The island of Murano is the first stop of this excursion: you will have a chance to enter a glass factory and see the masters working the glass as they have been doing for centuries and then visit the center of the island.

Second stop of this half day excursion is Burano, famous for the colorful fishermen’s houses and for the traditional handmade laces.

Torcello is the third and last stop of this tour. The island is the first to be inhabited in the Venetian lagoon and still shows the traces of its origins.
