Description

Discover the magic of Venice’s lagoon and its iconic islands with an exclusive Murano glassmaking and Burano exploration experience.

Board your private Venetian speedboat and cruise through the stunning waterways to Murano, the legendary island of glassmakers.

Meet Alessia, a professional glassblower, and immerse yourself in the centuries-old art of Murano glassmaking. During this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the delicate techniques used by master artisans and create your own piece to take home as a unique souvenir.

In the afternoon, meet your private certified guide, who will lead you to your boat for a spectacular Venetian lagoon tour. Cruise through the hidden corners of the lagoon, visit a Murano glass atelier, and explore the colorful island of Burano, famous for its brightly painted houses and lace-making tradition. Stroll along the main canal, visit the island’s historic church, and don’t forget to try the delicious local “S” shaped Burano cookie.

At the end of the day, your boat driver will take you back to your hotel or the nearest pier, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Venice’s most enchanting islands.

FAQ's

Is this a private tour?
Yes, this is a fully private experience. You will have a personal assistant, a dedicated professional glassmaker, and a private certified guide leading your journey. Your Venetian speedboat will be reserved exclusively for you and your group.
Is the glass maker another tourist trap?
We refuse to work with big factories that make you spend more time in their showroom than in their workshop. We try to partner with local artisans that have a passion for their work and don’t welcome huge groups of tourists. You can buy anything you like, but you are not obliged to.
Do I need to bring special material?
No! You don’t need to bring anything as all the material is prepared for you.
Will my teenage kids like the tour?
Sure they will. It is always nice to be on a boat. Moreover, Murano and Burano are very special, so these islands can make great social media pictures! And if they like arts & crafts, they will love the hands-on activity.
Will the parents participate in the workshop?
Of course! Everyone will be creating their own works. That is the fun part!
