Overview

Embark on a semi-private guided tour from Venice to Murano and Burano and discover two of the Venetian Lagoon’s most famous traditions.

Meet your guide near St. Mark’s Square and travel across the lagoon by boat, leaving the busy streets of Venice behind. Arrive first in Murano, world-famous for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Visit a local glass factory and watch master craftsmen shape molten glass into elegant works of art during a live demonstration.

Afterward, enjoy a guided stroll through Murano and learn about the island’s history and local life before continuing across the lagoon.

Next, arrive in colorful Burano, known for its vibrant fishermen’s houses and lace-making heritage. Enjoy free time to explore the picturesque streets, browse local shops, and taste traditional bussolà cookies.

Relax on the scenic boat ride back to Venice with your small group.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
