Murano, Burano and Torcello Private Half Day Tour

Explore the islands of Murano and Burano and stop at Torcello to visit the first Cathedral in Venice. Board a comfortable motor boat and speed along the Venetian Lagoon to Murano Island, famous for its glass blowing. In 1921, the glass-blowing industry in Venice was moved to the island due to fire hazards and has become famous for its craft. During the visit explore shops, factories and watch the skilled glass blowers as they create works of art. There is time to visit a museum showcasing the world-famous Murano glass also.

Re-board your motor boat and journey to the island of Burano to admire picturesque fishermen's houses painted in bright pastel colors, and of course the famous lace. A beautiful museum dedicated to the craft of lace is available to visit. There is also time for you to purchase the beautiful lace at local shops.

The last island stop is Torcello, the earliest center of civilization in the Venetian Lagoon. Go to Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, which was the first church in Venice, founded in the 7th century. The Church of Santa Fosca has excavated remains of the circular baptistery that you will visit also.
