Overview

We start in Torcello, founded by Romans escaping from Barbarian. Guests will climb the old Roman watchtower and discover the very origins of Venetian civilization, today preserved by only a handful of residents in a timeless and peaceful setting. The tour then continues to Burano, the island of fishermen and lace makers. Here you will visit a traditional lace workshop to see how this millennial art is still produced by hand. After exploring the colorful streets, guests may choose to enjoy a 1h seafood lunch on the island or spend this "free time" shopping at their own pace. Finally, we reach Murano, world-famous for its glass tradition dating back to Roman times. During the visit to a glass factory, you'll watch glass master create extraordinary handmade crystal pieces! At the end of the tour, we suggest staying in Murano for shopping in the "Glass Master street" for an independent exploration, as all guests will already have a full-day 24h public transportation "Vaporetto" ticket.

Itinerary

During this half day trip I will accompany you visiting the most beautiful islands of Venice on boars of our vaporetto, the most strange typologies of "bus" in the world! Best friend of every veneziana since 1895, when was starting its unbeatable service! Today an early intimate, unforgettable and relaxing trip cruising the Venice’s lagoon :) At first we will visit the Murano community, famous for its Glass production since 1000 years ago! This is the island where I came from and where we will visit the REAL glass industry seeing Masters working together their unforgettable "Glass Gallery" And what about the second trip to Burano, fascinating colorful town famous for its millennial lace making production and its delicious sea food cuisine?! About lace, will be the Vidal's family the one that will introduce it to us; I'm really sure you will love their "Atelier".. Even in Burano you will have 1h of "Time out" where I really suggest to try our "Risotto di pesce" - "calamari", "cicchetti" and a lot of more.. In the end we will visit Torcello, discovering the most ancient community here, born during the Barbarians invasion where the last 9 locals are still living like 20century ago..
