Description
Murano, Burano and Torcello are all renowned for their history and their charm. On board a boat cruise, discover the three islands of the Venice Lagoon in one afternoon!
Leave Venice by boat to discover the lagoon, passing the island of San Giorgio Maggiore to admire the 16th-century Benedictine church on the way to your first stop: Murano.
Accompanied by your tour guide, you will visit a family-owned glass-blowing workshop where you will learn all about the ancient craft.
You will then climb back on board the boat to travel to Burano, a fishing island dotted with colourful houses. You'll be able to catch sight of the fishermen as well as discover the history behind this island which specializes in the production of fine lace.
The last stop of your boat trip will be at Torcello island to discover the Santa Maria Assunta cathedral’s magnificent mosaics and the Santa Fosca church, before returning to Venice.

Passage obligatoire par une vente des verres de Murano ce qui laisse peur de temps pour visiter Murano. Nous n’avons pas aimé l’ile De Torcello et aurions préféré rester plus de temps sur l’ile De Burano! Réel coup de cœur pour cette île !Camille S.Jan 8, 2019

Plutôt bon rapport qualité /prix. Trop peu de temps sur Torcello pour voir les mosaïques et arrivée de nuit sur Burano ... Pour avoir un aperçu lorsque on séjourne peu de temps à Venise, c'est plutôt bien pensé. Je regrette surtout de n'avoir pas pu accéder au musée du verre à Murano.Pas grave ... Il faudra que j'y retourne en solo ...Marie-Pierre P.Jan 6, 2019
