Overview of your Venice tour:

Discover the secrets of Venetian Lagoon by private boat. The islands of the northern lagoon were the first settlement chosen by the people living on the mainland even before Venice was founded. Murano, is the first island visited during the tour. Originally known as a holiday resort for venetian noble families, Murano was chosen by the government in 1291 to be the place where to concentrate the glass blowing production to avoid the too many fires caused in town by the furnaces. Burano is like a fairy tale village with its multi-colored houses. Being a fishermen island, houses were painted in unusual colors using the same color of the boats and fishermen could easily find the way back home in the mist of the lagoon. This island is very famous for the lace production and delicious local cookies! Last island is the enchanting Torcello nowadays almost abandoned during the winter season but houses the most ancient church of the Venetian lagoon dating back to 639 AD.
