Ciao, I'm Nicoletta! Welcome to my ToursByLocals Venice page. I'm a local, I'm an Art Historian,...

Venice is a City built on more than 120 islands, surrounded by 550 square Kilometres of water and more than 80 islands. This tour will allow you to explore the Lagoon, visiting some of the most important "outer islands": Murano with its glass factories; Burano with its colourful little houses, the fishing boats, the laces, hand made by the women exactly how they did them Centuries ago; Torcello, a quiet and amazing place, where you will see some of the oldest churches of the lagoon. A wonderful tour with the kids, who love seeing how do they blow the glass and - if you want - can try to do their own glass pendant. It will be a good occasion to understand the history of Venice, its relations with the water, the delicate equilibrium which still allow us to preserve one of the most beautiful city in the world. The tour can be completely customised: we can go to the islands using the public boat (slower, but less expensive), or the private taxi, in order to live a very exclusive experience.
-After meeting at the agreed meeting point, we will go directly to Murano, where you will see some of the best glass masters of the island creating their masterpieces. -You will see how glasses and chandeliers, that made the fortune of the island in the past, are made, and you will learn a lot about glass production, colours, techniques. - if you want your kids to try the glass workshop, send me an inquiry via email -After that, our boat will take us to Burano, one of the most colourful places in the world, where small colourful houses and fishing boats will bring you to a different time and place, where women do beautiful laces as they did Centuries ago. - After lunch, if time allows, we will go to Torcello -At the end, your guide will take you back to St Mark's or Rialto, showing you the best way to go to your hotel, or wherever you prefer. *The tour can be done by public or private boat. If you prefer to go by private transportation please send me your inquiry and I will quote the service for you
Contact your local guide to know more!!
We can do this tour using the Public Transportation from Venice to the islands. Please, note that the public boat can be very slowly, and that between April and October there are long lines to take a boat. Tickets are included. If you prefer to go to the island by private taxi (faster but more expensive), please, send me an inquiry and I will send you a quote.
Venice, Veneto, Italy
ByGuide: St Mark's Square, in front of the Porta della Carta, which is the exit to the Doge's Palace. Please, note that the meeting point at your hotel is possible JUST if it is in the Centre of Venice (not Mestre, not Murano, not Giudecca or other islands). Please, note also that this tour (as it is) doesn't start from the Cruise Terminal. On both this cases, the price of the tour will change: please, send me an inquiry to understand what is the best option for you.
