Venice Lagoon Private cruise with an expert local guide

This private one-hour cruise offers the rare pleasure of seeing the city from the perspective for which its palaces, bridges and façades were designed. From the Bacino di San Marco, we enter the Grand Canal and slip into quieter waterways where daily life still unfolds at water level.

THE INTELLIGENCE OF FIRE Murano Inside a working glass furnace, we observe a Maestro vetraio shape molten glass. The encounter opens a story of technical knowledge, experimentation, guarded skills and objects desired across the world.

COLOUR, COMMUNITY AND PATIENCE Burano Beyond its celebrated colours, Burano is a lived island with its own scale and traditions. We encounter lace-making through a family connected to this delicate craft and the knowledge transmitted through generations.

ORIGINS AND STILLNESS Torcello The quieter northern lagoon offers a final change of rhythm. Ancient Torcello and the landscape of Mazzorbo bring us closer to the earliest settlements, cultivated land and the fragile balance between nature and human presence.

The lagoon from the water As the city recedes, its setting becomes clear. Channels, islands, tides and distant profiles reveal the environment from which Venice emerged and on which it still depends. View of the Lido.
