What To Expect

Isola di Murano

The enchanting islands of Murano and Burano are the perfect change of pace from Venice’s crowded streets and waterways. And the perfect way to reach them is by private water taxi. Faster and sturdier than a gondola, nimbler and less crowded than a waterbus, water taxis are the premier way to travel in Venice. Few visitors get to experience them, but yours is included, along with an expert local guide who’ll explain Venice’s history as a titan of trade along the way. Your first port of call is a specially chosen glassblowing workshop on Murano. In the Middle Ages, only Murano’s artisans possessed the secrets of this craft, and sharing them was punishable by execution. You’ll get to witness modern glassblowers wield those once secret techniques, shaping delicate and dazzling works of art from molten glass. Then admire the workshop’s finest work in its gallery, and perhaps take home a piece of your own – with a tour discount. Or explore more of Murano, including its peaceful canals and stunning Byzantine church.

The locals of nearby Burano still maintain the island’s tradition of handmade lace, some of the finest anywhere in the world. You’ll get to observe lace being hand-stitched the way it has been for generations. Then visit the lace museum to see the island’s greatest work, or simply enjoy the photo opportunity provided by the colorful houses, brightly painted so sailors could see home as they returned from the sea. When you cross the lagoon back to Venice, you’ll have a renewed appreciation of the crafts that put the city on the map so long ago.

Murano Burano trip. Alice our guide was fabulous and explained everything, was always to hand for any questions and knew a great deal of historical facts. We just wish we had had longer on both islands, before you go you don’t know how long you’ll need and for us it was too short. We loved it though.
Beautiful Murano And Burano Islands

Beautiful experience. Our guide, Sylvia, was so knowledgeable about the history of Venice, Burano, Murano, and the other islands. Easy to find the meeting point. The only drawback was the heat. Mother natures fault, not the tour. Would have liked a little more free time on each island. The glass factory was fun and the pieces were extraordinary. Loved seeing and hearing about the lace making process in Burano. Would definitely recommend.
Best tour ever!

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide Susanna, knew all there is to know about the history and ecology of these lovely places. She also had the inside scoop on recent big events in the area - this weekend being Jeff Bezos’ wedding. Susanna was fun and friendly. The islands were cute and interesting. The artisans are amazing.
