Departing from your Venice, we take you across the lagoon to visit the Three Islands of the Venetian Lagoon: Murano, Burano, and Torcello. The first stop is at the well-known Island of Murano, famous for its glass-making since the 10th century. Here you will visit a glass factory and furnace to see the making of Venetian glass. Your local guide will explain to you the history and the process of glass making throughout the years. Then, crossing the northern part of the Lagoon, we arrive at the colourful Island of Burano, famous for its brightly coloured houses, fishing industry and also its lace making. You'll have time to walk around this elegant little island and visit its shops. Your guide will point out to you one of the specialized shops where it is possible to see local ladies working on the Burano Lace and show you the different stitches involved in making these wonderful works of art. We then leave Burano and take a short boat ride to the Island of Torcello, known as the “Mother of Venice”. You have the chance to visit the Basilica, one of the oldest in the Lagoon and which holds some beautiful mosaics, or maybe visit the museum. Alternatively, you can just spend your time walking around this enchanting and very historical island. This unforgettable tour lasts approximately 6 hours.
