Venice Islands Private Boat Tour: Murano & Burano

Nature and history, craftsmanship and local food all in one tour! Breath a completely different atmosphere sliding on the water and along mysterious islands across the stunning and massive Venetian lagoon. For centuries the glass factories on Murano island have been producing some of the world's greatest and most coveted glass creations. You'll have the privilege of visiting a real glass furnace with its own proper production unit and witness the magic skills of glass masters at work. A host will take over to answer your questions and to assist you. From Murano we'll get a new taxi and ride to the fishing island of Burano, renowned throughout Europe for its marvelous lace production. Wander (and wonder at!) around its picturesque colorful alleys. Experience lace making observing one of the few (I'm afraid) real lace makers left in an authentic atelier and try the local Burano cookies! Plenty of time for taking memorable pics until another private boat will take you back to your hotel.
