Venice: Private Murano & Torcello Lagoon Boat Tour

Overview

Discover the authentic side of the Venetian Lagoon on a private 4-hour boat tour designed for travelers who want to experience its islands, traditions, and natural beauty away from the busiest areas of Venice. Set off by private boat and enjoy the views as you cruise across the lagoon toward Murano, an island famous around the world for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. In Murano, visit a traditional glass factory and watch skilled artisans at work during a glassblowing demonstration. Discover the craftsmanship and techniques that have made Murano glass one of Venice’s most celebrated traditions. Continue through the northern lagoon toward Torcello, one of the oldest and most peaceful islands in the Venetian Lagoon. Step ashore and enjoy time to walk through its quiet surroundings and discover a completely different side of Venice. Visit the historic Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, with entrance included in your experience. During the cruise, admire the landscapes and smaller islands of the lagoon from the water. Depending on the route and available time, your captain may also take you through some of the most picturesque areas of the northern lagoon. If time and navigation conditions allow, the itinerary may also include Burano, famous for its brightly colored houses and traditional lace-making heritage. After approximately four hours, cruise back across the lagoon to your departure point, enjoying a final view of this unique landscape from the water. As this is a private experience, the itinerary can be adapted to navigation conditions and the pace of your group.
