Overview

Venice is not an island standing alone. It is the most extraordinary expression of an entire lagoon.
This private day leaves the city behind without ever leaving its story. Travelling by wooden water limousine, we cross the open lagoon to understand the geography, skills and communities that made Venice possible.

Murano, Burano and the northern lagoon are not treated as a collection of picturesque stops. Each island reveals a different form of Venetian intelligence: the mastery of matter, the patience of handwork, the life of small communities and the delicate relationship between land and water.

The boat gives the day its freedom. We can slow down, change perspective and experience the lagoon as Venetians always have: not as empty space between destinations, but as a world in itself.

What's included

  • Private licensed guide of Venice
  • Visit of a Murano glass furnace
  • Lunch is not included, nor is any refreshment that you may have during the day.
  • Water Taxi cost is not included: it will be paid in cash at the end of the tour. It will be 1200 up to 4 guests, then it will be €70 extra for each guest from the 5th guest to the 8th guest.

What to expect

  1. Canal Grande
    Pass by
    This private one-hour cruise offers the rare pleasure of seeing the city from the perspective for which its palaces, bridges and façades were designed. From the Bacino di San Marco, we enter the Grand Canal and slip into quieter waterways where daily life still unfolds at water level.
  2. Murano
    1h
    THE INTELLIGENCE OF FIRE
    Murano
    Inside a working glass furnace, we observe a Maestro vetraio shape molten glass. The encounter opens a story of technical knowledge, experimentation, guarded skills and objects desired across the world.
  3. Burano
    1h
    COLOUR, COMMUNITY AND PATIENCE
    Burano
    Beyond its celebrated colours, Burano is a lived island with its own scale and traditions. We encounter lace-making through a family connected to this delicate craft and the knowledge transmitted through generations.
  4. 2h
    ORIGINS AND STILLNESS
    Torcello
    The quieter northern lagoon offers a final change of rhythm. Ancient Torcello and the landscape of Mazzorbo bring us closer to the earliest settlements, cultivated land and the fragile balance between nature and human presence.
  5. Venice
    Pass by
    The lagoon from the water
    As the city recedes, its setting becomes clear. Channels, islands, tides and distant profiles reveal the environment from which Venice emerged and on which it still depends. View of the Lido.
