Venice Lagoon Islands - Private Boat Tour

Let's escape from the crowd and indulge into the quiet beauty of the northern lagoon! This tour uses a private watertaxi and spoils you indulging into nature and pure art. Among the many islands of the lagoon, many of which have disappeared, the three most important ones deserve a visit: Murano's fame is due to a traditional production of glass that had been concentrated here since the 13th century. The island of Burano remained for centuries a fishing village, but grew in importance for the activity of lace-making, the small colored houses and the perfect union of water, man and environment. Torcello, very close to Burano, remains - almost desert - an important centre of the origins of the Venetian state: the visitor is immediately struck from the peace of the environment and the extreme nobility of the 11th/12th century architecture of the sacred buildings. This tour can be customized according to your wishes.

* Our tour starts directly at your hotel dock, or in S. Mark square. * With a short ride we'll arrive in Murano, where we'll visit an authentic glass factory; masters show you what they are able to make with an ancient and unique technique . You'll have the possibility to buy souvenirs or order an unique piece at the gallery. * Once done in Murano, with an half hour boat trip we'll be in Burano. After a nice stroll through the colored houses and the incredible views of the lagoon, you'll have the pleasure to visit the lady artists who literally invent fabric with lace. * Some minutes away by boat from Burano stands Torcello, the proof of how Venice looked like at the beginning. In this island live only 7 people and you will feel like lost in time, while visiting the church of S. M. Assunta or simply walking among the relics of the ancient civilization. * after a ride in the swamp, going around the canals and the less known islands, tour ends where it began.
