    Free time on Burano, the jewel of the Venetian Lagoon, famous all over the world for its lacemaking and for the brightly colored fishermen’s houses.

For reference only. Itineraries are subject to change due to weather, traffic and other circumstances.

  • Join your guide for a breathtaking cruise around the lagoon, and take some pictures of the islands
  • Watch the glass-making in action and buy some colorful pieces on Murano
  • See the lace-makers working their crafts on Burano and see The Crucifixion by Tiepolo

Why hide out in the City of Masks when you can sail away on the lagoon? Take a special sightseeing excursion from Venice and explore the islands of Murano and Burano. Learn the history from your guide, watch the glass-making and lace-making, and try some Venetian snacks.

Head to the small island of Murano with your bilingual guide, where you can watch the art of glass-making in action. Visit the factory, feel the heat of the furnace, and even buy some colorful glass to take home.

On Burano, watch the lace-makers and learn why Burano lace was once so valuable it factored into women's dowries. If you have time, why not visit the Museo del Merletto (for a small fee), or walk among the brightly-colored fishermen's houses.

At the Island's Main Square, explore San Martino's Church, home to The Crucifixion by Tiepolo, and the famous leaning tower.

Stop for lunch in the restaurant of your choice. And, for something sweet afterward, don't miss the chance to try the local sweet known as bussolà, and the special esse biscuits.

It's a tasty, cruisy way to see more of Venice.

Good only if you are interested in a 10 minute demo, some time in the store and back on the boat. No time to see anything else. Spend most of the time traveling and any delays are not made up. Not really worth it

Very disappointed about this tour. The tour started 30 minutes late, then, instead of 1h 15min free time on Murano, we only had 1h and instead of 1h 30min we only also had 1h free time on Burano.
