About this experience

This tour begins in Torcello, where participants will ascend the ancient Roman watchtower and learn about the origins of Venetian civilization in a tranquil environment with few residents. The journey then moves to Burano, known for its fishing community and lace-making. Guests will visit a traditional lace workshop to observe the handcrafting of this ancient art and have the option to enjoy a one-hour seafood lunch or shop in the colorful streets at their leisure. The final stop is Murano, renowned for its glass-making heritage. Attendees will witness a glass master create handmade crystal pieces at a glass factory. At the tour's conclusion, guests are encouraged to remain in Murano for shopping along the "Glass Master street," as they will have a full-day 24-hour public transportation "Vaporetto" ticket included.
