What's included in this Murano and Burano tour from Venice?

A private round-trip boat transfer, a private glassblowing demonstration on Murano, a guided walk in Burano, a Sant'Erasmo vineyard tour with a glass of wine, and a local guide, in a small group of 20 or fewer. The island-to-island logistics are all handled.

Which islands does the tour visit?

Three: Murano for its glassmaking, Burano for its painted houses and lace, and Sant'Erasmo for its lagoon winery. You travel between them by private boat across the Venetian Lagoon.

Yes, your small group has a private boat for the round trip and the hops between islands, so there's no working out vaporetto timetables or finding your own way.

Yes, you'll have free time on Murano and Burano after the guided portions, to explore the streets, visit a glass or lace shop, or simply take in the islands at your own pace.

How long is the tour?

About 4.25 hours, including the boat rides and the three islands, so it's a relaxed half-day out on the lagoon.

Is the tour suitable for families?

Yes, it's a great family outing; children's and infant tickets are available, and the boat, the glassblowing flames, and Burano's colors tend to delight younger travelers. The winery tasting is for the adults.

Is the tour accessible for guests with mobility needs?

We want everyone out on the lagoon. The tour involves boarding and leaving a boat and walking on the islands, sometimes over bridges and uneven ground; contact our Guest Experience team before booking and we'll advise.

At the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II on Riva degli Schiavoni. Your guide carries a green Walks sign; please arrive 15 minutes before your start time.

What to expect

Murano and its glass

You'll board a private boat in central Venice and slip out across the lagoon, passing St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, and the Bridge of Sighs from the water. On Murano, an island making glass since the 13th century, you'll watch a private glassblowing demonstration and hear how the craft became Venice's own. There's free time after to explore the island.

Burano's painted streets

Next is Burano, famous for its rows of brightly colored houses and its lacemakers going back to the 16th century. Your guide walks you through the streets, past the old fish market and the leaning church, telling the island's story. Then you're free to visit a lace shop or wander on your own.

"Burano stops everyone in their tracks. The houses are every color you can imagine, and people just start grinning and reaching for their cameras. It's pure joy."

"The Sant'Erasmo wine surprises people most. Vines growing in salt air, on an island most visitors never reach, making wine the Doges drank. You can taste the lagoon in it."
