Overview

Discover the beauty of the Venetian islands with one of our group boat tours. This tour offers a captivating exploration of three significant Venetian islands—Murano, Burano, and Torcello.

The first stop on this group boat tour is the island of Murano, home to some of the world’s finest glass production. Here, you will have the opportunity to see master Venetian glassblowers at work in their factory.

Your second stop is the island of Torcello, one of the earliest-settled Venetian islands. This quiet island is far from the tourist crowds—a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the Venetian Lagoon.

Your third stop is the island of Burano, known for its colorful houses and tradition of lace production. Here, you will have the opportunity to lunch at one of the many restaurants in the center of town and take a stroll among the serene canals and vibrant buildings.

As the afternoon comes to an end, you will be transported back to the main island of Venice.
