Tour description
During this half-day trip, I will accompany you to discover the most beautiful lagoon islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello aboard the strangest type of bus in the world: the Vaporetto! The best friend of all Venetians since 1895 when his unbeatable service began!
(At 9 am an early, intimate, unforgettable, and relaxing trip to the lagoon :)
The best we will explore Torcello, 17 century ago the first community of Venice.
Today the last 9 locals still live inside a "dark age city" where everything is like many centuries ago.
From the top of its Romanesque Tower, you will enjoy an impressive view of the Venetian lagoon! (Entrance to Torre Torcello 5 euros NOT INCLUDED)
How about the second incredible trip to Burano, the fascinating and colorful city, a fishing community famous for its thousand-year-old lace industry?
You will see one of the last lace factories where the last old lacers are still doing this very old craft tradition! I am sure: you will love them!
At the end, we will visit the world famous Murano, where the last 20 families still produce our amazing glass masterpieces like 1000 years ago.
The free tour will be through "Glasser street": we will explore a real glass factory with its family art gallery and see the masters at work!
(Around 12, I really suggest you have lunch in Burano, where some of the best local seafood cuisine is prepared, but it is optional, is up to you ;)
(24h VAPORETTO TICKET NOT INCLUDED _ COST 21€)

Absolutely amazing tour!! Andreas was amazing and hilarious. We bought the vaporetto 24hour ticket to travel between the towns, which was handy. We first visited burano, where we got to see the beautiful colourful houses and meet the cat mascot 😂. We got to see how burano lace was made and visit the shop. We had time for coffee and snacks while we waited for the next water bus. Next we visited torcello which is home to 9 residents, he offered us the option of seeing the tower or the church, we opted for the tower. Which has beautiful views. We then visited murano and was able to watch a demonstration of how the glass is made. Which was amazing. Then visit the show room. He told us which shops we could stop in depending what we were interested in to see or buy murano glass. He told us about the history of each town and sent us messages about where and what to visit while we were in venice. We were able to ask any question we wanted. I would definitely recommend this tour

Andrea’s was humorous and informative. A genuine local he even was friends with the dogs. He made our morning’s tour interesting and fun.
His communication was also prompt.
He sent extra information about where we were visiting by internet link to give us more information if we wanted it.
