Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Onze eerste stop is bij een prachtige Murano-glasfabriek, waar je zult ervaren hoe de glasmeesters hun kunst maken. Je krijgt ook de kans om enkele items te kopen die door de glasmeesters zelf zijn gemaakt.
Na een mooie boottocht van ongeveer een half uur in de lagune van Venetië, stoppen we op het eiland Burano, waar je ongeveer 45 minuten de tijd hebt om rond deze unieke plek te lopen, beroemd om zijn kleurrijke huizen. Hier heb je ook de kans om Burano-kant te kopen, het wereldberoemde ambacht uit Burano. Kantproductie wordt in Venetië sinds de 15e eeuw beoefend. Het is een onregelmatige weeftechniek die een uiterst bekwame hand met tientallen jaren ervaring vereist. Door de eeuwen heen hebben kantmakers op het kleine eiland Burano deze techniek verfijnd en een unieke stijl ontwikkeld die bekend werd als punto Burano. Deze traditie van voortreffelijk kantklossen leeft nog steeds op dit eiland in de lagune van Venetië
Na Burano stoppen we op het eiland Torcello. Deze prachtige plek ligt in de noordoostelijke hoek van de Venetiaanse lagune, op slechts 10 km afstand van het Piazza San Marco (San Marcoplein). Tegenwoordig bestaat het eiland voornamelijk uit moestuinen en wordt het slechts bewoond door enkele tientallen mensen, terwijl het 1500 jaar geleden het centrum was van de hele Venetiaanse beschaving. Torcello kende zijn grootste beschavingsontwikkeling tussen de VII en X eeuw en bereikte een bevolking van 20.000 inwoners, dankzij zijn bloeiende bedrijf. In de daaropvolgende eeuwen verloor het geleidelijk en onverbiddelijk zijn belang, waarbij alle belangrijke productieve activiteiten nu naar Venetië werden verplaatst. Slechts een paar van de vele monumenten die ooit het eiland bevolkten, zoals kerken en kloosters, zijn tegenwoordig bewaard gebleven. Torcello is niet alleen een prachtige illustratie van de geboorte van de Venetiaanse beschaving: het is in de eerste plaats een eiland ondergedompeld in de fascinerende wereld die de Venetiaanse lagune is.

Alessandro was fantastic and we loved this tour! It was efficient, and allowed us to explore Murano, Burano and Torcello with just the right amount of time at each. Alessandro is an excellent boat driver so the trips and docking were incredibly smooth. The trip was perfect for our 7 year old too. The islands are beautiful are the history of each interesting. Highly recommend!
Truly amazing. Alessandro was a professional. Such a great experience.
Thank you!!!
Great experience! The boat was clean and well maintained. We learned about the islands and had time to explore. Highly recommend!
Thank you!
Great experience! Guide was friendly and informative. Great way to see the islands!
Thank you!
It was an amazing experience. We visited the most beautiful corners of the lagoon. The boat was confortable and the skipper, Alessandro, so kind. He knows very well the lagoon and he is very help full. More over he offered us some wine and some snacks to make our tour even better.
Thank you!
So thankful for Alessandro and the amazing private lagoon tour for two of Murano, Burano, and Torcello. We were picked up at our prearranged meeting spot promptly which happened to be right outside our hotel. He was easy to work either and communicated well leading up to the tour. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather for the day out in his well kept boat! He allowed you a good amount of time on each island to explore and shop while also providing history of the surrounding islands and area throughout the tour. The tour also included a glass blowing demonstration on Murano which was incredible! He was a wealth of information and very personable. It was the perfect way to spend a half day exploring Venice without being in a set schedule with a lot of other tourists. The tour is very reasonably priced for what you are able to see and do compared to larger tours. Highly recommend booking one of his tours! You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you Samantha!!! Pleasure to meet you
A wonderful, personal way to check out Burano and Murano. Allesandro worked diligently to reschedule our tour due to a sketchy weather forecast and he made the right call. He is personable, and knowledgeable about his home and its history, sharing facts and tidbits along the way. He showed genuine concern over our comfort. His boat driving skills are excellent, and flawlessly navigated the wake to minimize any risk of seasickness. Seeing these islands that are so different from Venice through the eyes of a was a great way to spend an afternoon.
Thank you! It was a pleasure to meet you
My husband and I recently made a short trip to Venice at the end of a Mediterranean cruise. Because we didn’t have a lot of time in our schedule, we booked this shorter morning trip to the Northern Islands of Venice with Alessandro, and it was perfect. We visited an amazing glass factory in Murano, shopped and ate lunch on our own in quaint Burano, and strolled through lovely, less inhabited Torcello. Each island was completely different and each was worth the visit. Along the way, Alessandro gave us historical information on the sites we passed. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He let us decide our time on each island and didn't rush us. He skippered his boat with our comfort in mind, inquiring frequently to ensure we weren't cold and that the boat speed was comfortable. I noticed he had several umbrellas on board to lend to his guests, although fortunately we had great weather and did not need them. He was also very courteous, helping us on and off of his boat. I highly recommend hiring Alessandro for a boat tour when you are next in Venice!

Alessandro was the perfect host. He accommodated every request and was courteous and knowledgeable. Great boat (no roof, but good anyway). I’d repeat and would highly recommend
