What to expect

  1. Laguna di Venezia
    45m · Admission ticket included
    Meet your local guide and group of just 20 guests maximum in central Venice and walk together to your private boat for a scenic 30-minute boat ride to Murano Island. As you’re motoring out through the lagoon, your guide will point out places of interest and give you a brief introduction to the history of island settlement in Venice.
  2. Isola di Murano
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Once in Murano, your guide will make an introduction to the island and share recommendations on how to spend your time there. Murano is the home of Europe’s most respected glassmakers since the 13th century. See this cherished tradition come to life at an exclusive glassmaking demonstration inside a glass factory. You’ll have some free time to explore Murano at your own pace following the demonstration.
  3. Isola di Burano - World Heritage Site
    1h 15m · Admission ticket included
    Your next stop is the island of Burano, whose brightly colored houses you may recognize from photos. What you might not know is that they’ve been the home of Venice’s legendary lacemakers since the 16th century. After a guided tour around the island’s picture-perfect canals and squares, you’ll have time to explore on your own and visit the local shops.
  4. Orto di Venezia
    1h · Admission ticket included
    The journey continues to St. Erasmo Island, long known as Venice’s vegetable garden for its fertile soil and artichoke fields. This quiet lagoon island is also home to a historic winery whose wines were once poured for Venetian nobility, including the Doges. After a walk through the vineyard, the visit concludes with a glass of their wine that reflects the island’s distinctive terroir and centuries-old winemaking tradition.
  5. Piazza San Marco
    15m · Admission ticket included
    Board your private boat for a scenic ride back to Venice's Piazza San Marco. If you prefer to spend more time on Sant'Eramso, your guide will share transportation options to return later on your own
