We offer you the possibility to enjoy a unique experience that will lead you to the historic, artistic, and popular heart of the northern part of the Venetian Lagoon. Murano is known for the glass making and for the glass companies and Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy, near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon, known for its lace work and brightly colored homes. This is the perfect choice to find out more about the most beautiful sites in Venice!
A cruise in the Lagoon is a suggestive as well as an enjoyable experience, seated in a Grand Tourism motor-boat driven by a highly qualified crew and commentated in different languages by a specialized tour guide. You will visit MURANO, BURANO, and TORCELLO which are the traditional destinations among the islands, after sailing past the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, a 16th-century Benedectine church designed by Andrea Palladio, the Public Gardens, the tip of Sant'Elena and the Lido (the famous beach resort), the boat arrives at MURANO known throughout the world for its glass manufacturing industry. You will visit a Furnace to see glass products being made. The tour will then continue towards BURANO the island famous for its lace-making and for the brightly-colored fishermen's houses. Getting off the boat you will be in a green lane and after a short walk, you will arrive at the Island’s Main Square. On the right of the Square is San Martino’s Church which houses the “Crucifixion” painting by Tiepolo, and the famous leaning tower. Then, after a short sale, you will reach the quiet and sparsely populated island of TORCELLO, the first center of civilization in the estuary. Only the Cathedral of “Santa Maria Assunta” with its magnificent mosaics and the church of “Santa Fosca” remain as testimony of its former glory.
