This six-hour excursion will take you around the lagoon aboard a private boat for a sightseeing tour of its most beautiful islands. Watching Venice from the water is an exciting experience and gives you the opportunity to admire the city’s unique outlines from a special angle. Stops during the cruise will include Murano, the island renowned for its glassblowing workshops producing exquisite glass artworks, and Burano, with its pastel-painted fishermen’s houses lining the narrow streets and a long tradition of lace production. The navigation will then continue towards the lesser-known Torcello, an island inhabited by just a handful of residents but with a rich heritage that includes being home to the oldest church in the lagoon, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, founded in 639.
