"You'll never understand and appreciate a place if you don't know its origins". This lagoon and its islands are indeed the roots of the Venetian Civilization, shaping the environment where everything started. You just have to rely on an experienced local guide like myself to visit Murano and Burano! We'll be speedboating along the Venetian Lagoon towards two islands that are famous for their handicrafts and architecture. Known for its glassware shops and factories, Murano boasts a long and still-thriving glass tradition dating back to 1291, when artisans moved their kilns from the old city center. On the other hand, Burano is like a miniature Venice with picturesque fishermen's houses. With me you'll have the privilege to access the artisans' work areas to see them performing their stunning art: glass-blowing! I'll share island anecdotes as well as the romantic local legend about Burano lace: the island wherenwomen started the craft because the village girls wished to imitate a mermaid's wedding veil!
·After we've met in an arranged spot in Venice, we'll get on board a water taxi heading north onto our first stop, Murano, the island which became the heart of Venice's glasswork production in the late thirteenth century. ·Once we get to Murano, we will witness a glass-making demonstration carried out by some of the most talented and skilled Glass Masters. ·Afterwards, we'll move on to Burano, a lovely fisherman settlement known for its gorgeous colourful houses, good seafood restaurants, lace & local biscuits. ·Next, we'll return to Venice sailing across the Grand Canal on our speedboat. This itinerary can be customized according to your needs and requests. The dress code for men and women when visiting Churches requires shoulders and knees to be covered. Shorts and skirts are permitted but below knees or at knees level. Comfy shoes are requested too!
