About this trip

There's a way to see Venice that few tourists truly know, and that's from the water, guided by those born and raised in this city. Departing from Venice or Mestre, this full-day tour aboard a comfortable open boat will take you to discover the lagoon's most fascinating islands, with a Venetian skipper who knows every corner and every story to share along the way.

The first stop is Murano, the glass island, where you can stop to see the historic glassworks at work and admire the artisanal tradition that has made this city famous worldwide. We then continue to Burano, famous for its colorful houses reflected in the canals, an image that seems lifted from a postcard but is a daily reality here. The last stop is Torcello, the lagoon's oldest and quietest island, where the legend of Attila's throne and the atmosphere suspended in time offer a moment of authentic tranquility.

Each stop offers the opportunity to disembark and explore on foot, according to your interests and time: the itinerary adapts to you, not the other way around. On board, an aperitif with a bottle of prosecco accompanies the day, allowing you to savor the moment with the lagoon all around you.

An authentic experience, told by those who live Venice every day, allowing you to discover the true side of the city, far from the beaten tourist track.

The experience is entirely customizable: contact the owner via chat to tailor it to your needs.
