In Murano we will open the doors of an authentic furnace, far from the tourist circuits, where you can witness the magic of glass come to life in the first row. Before your eyes, fire, sand and skill come together in a fascinating ritual that transforms glowing glass into vases, sculptures and works of art. An exclusive and private experience, which will make you touch one of the oldest and most prestigious traditions of Venice. After the demonstration, you can browse the creations of the furnace: a unique opportunity to take home an authentic and precious memory.
Burano will captivate you with its colorful houses, reflections on the water and the lively atmosphere of a unique island in the world. After a walk through the narrow streets and canals, you will have free time to discover the island at your own pace: take photos, browse the craft shops or simply enjoy the tranquility of the place. For those who wish, it will be possible to attend a brief demonstration of the ancient buranello lace, symbol of the Venetian female tradition. The stop is enriched with an optional lunch in one of the most authentic restaurants on the island, recommended directly by the skippers: lagoon cuisine, fresh fish and an atmosphere that only Burano can offer.

Even with some rain in the day, Francisco gave us an awesome tour of Murano and Burano. He knew so much about the history, gave us flexibility to craft a perfect morning, and he was so friendly and helpful with great recommendations! I definitely would recommend this tour!
This review is all about our guide, Michael. He was outstanding and went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable day! Burano and Murano were great but our memory will be Michael.
