Murano, Burano & Torcello Islands Boat Tour with Glass Blowing
Escape Venice's crowded streets and discover three remarkable islands in the Venetian lagoon. This comprehensive boat tour takes you to Murano for traditional glassmaking demonstrations, colourful Burano with its lace-making heritage, and historic Torcello where Venice began. You'll travel by comfortable motorboat with multilingual staff, enjoying live commentary as you explore each island's unique character.
The tour departs from either St. Mark's Square or Venice Santa Lucia railway station, making it convenient whether you're staying in the city centre or arriving by train. Each island offers something different: witness master glassblowers at work in Murano's famous factories, photograph Burano's rainbow-coloured houses and lace shops, then step back in time on peaceful Torcello with its ancient cathedral and Byzantine mosaics.
What is Included
- Round-trip boat transfers from St. Mark's Square or Santa Lucia station
- Live commentary in multiple languages
- Glass blowing demonstration at a Murano glass factory
- Free time to explore each island independently

Good to Know
The tour spends approximately 1 hour on Murano, 2 hours on Burano, and 1 hour on Torcello. Meet at your chosen departure point 15 minutes before the scheduled time. The experience is not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers due to boat access and uneven island paths.
Wear comfortable walking shoes as island streets can be uneven. Food and drinks are not included, but you'll have plenty of opportunities to buy meals and refreshments on each island. Bring water, especially during summer months. Pets are welcome if kept on a lead, with muzzles required for larger dogs.
If you're planning more Venice adventures, consider exploring the city's architectural masterpiece with a St. Mark's Basilica skip-the-line tour or discover hidden corners on a Venice walking tour through the historic districts.
