3-Island Boat Tour from Punta Sabbioni: Murano - Burano - Torcello with Onboard Guide
Head to the Punta Sabbioni pier to meet your guide and the group for the day. Board the boat and wave goodbye to the shore as you enter the enchanting Venetian Lagoon.
Enjoy a mini cruise to San Marco, with a brief stop to pick up additional passengers. Disembark on Murano island where you will witness a live glassblowing demonstration inside a workshop. You will have around one hour total on the island to take photos, browse the artisan shops, and purchase authentic Murano glass souvenirs.
Continue to Burano, famous for its lively atmosphere and picturesque colorful houses. Enjoy your free time, around 2 hours total, to stroll through the streets, have a coffee, or enjoy a snack in one of the island’s many cafes and restaurants. If you wish, with our ticket you can enter the Lace Museum for free (ask your guide).
Relax during the cruise and enjoy the panoramic views of the lagoon before arriving at Torcello, about 1 hour of stay. Here you can explore the historic island and admire the Veneto-Byzantine mosaics inside the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta (entrance ticket not included).
During the navigation: observe the MOSE, the mobile dam system designed to protect Venice from high tides. Admire the typical flora and fauna of the lagoon and watch in the distance the planes taking off from Marco Polo Airport.
In Murano: visit the Basilica of Santi Maria e Donato and the Church of San Pietro Martire, two historical testimonies of the island (entrance tickets not included).
In Burano: stroll to Piazza Galuppi with its famous leaning bell tower, discover the ancient art of lace-making by browsing the island's shops, take a selfie in front of Casa di Bepi — the most colorful house on the island — and taste the traditional risotto with goby fish (ghiozzo, a typical fish of the Venetian lagoon).
In Torcello: walk along the evocative Devil’s Bridge, one of the last bridges without railings remaining in the lagoon, or capture the moment with a selfie sitting on Attila’s Throne.
