The boat has the windows with an aluminum bracket that is at eye level. You have to bend down or get up to see and take photos.

Tour Details

We'll meet at the designated time at a central Venice pier to board a boat for a journey through the Venetian Lagoon.

Our first stop will be the picturesque island of Murano, where you'll have 1 hour of free time. Here, you can visit a traditional glass factory to witness a live demonstration of glassblowing, the island's star product. If you prefer not to visit the workshop, you can use this time to stroll freely along its canals and shops.

We'll continue north on board the boat until we disembark on the charming island of Burano, where you'll enjoy 1.5 hours of free time. You can admire its famous and vibrant colorful houses, a true spectacle for photographers. In addition to strolling, you can learn about its artisanal heritage by visiting the Lace Museum or discovering the local shops where the iconic merletti are made.

Finally, we'll meet again at the Burano pier to begin our return journey. We'll conclude the tour by returning to Venice, arriving at the San Marco Cornoldi pier after a total of 5 hours.

Pickup & Drop-Off Points

During the booking process, you'll need to select one of the following meeting points:

Santa Lucia Pier (Ponte della Costituzione): departure at 10 am
Riva degli Schiavoni Pier: departure at 10:30 am

The tour ends at 3:30 pm at the San Marco Cornoldi pier.

Important Info

If you depart from Riva degli Schiavoni and, at the end of the tour, prefer to be dropped off at the Santa Lucia area, you will need to pay a 10EUR fee in cash on the day of the tour as a logistical fee. If you do the reverse route (starting in Santa Lucia and ending in the Riva degli Schiavoni/San Marco area), there is no extra charge.
Due to last-minute logistical or organizational reasons, the activity may exceptionally end at the port of Tronchetto. In this case, we'll explain how to get to Piazzale Roma.
