Description

Meet your local guide and group of just 20 guests maximum in central Venice to board your private boat. As you’re motoring out through the lagoon, your guide will point out places of interest and give you a brief introduction to the history of island settlement in Venice. Your first stop is Murano, home of Europe’s most respected glassmakers since the 13th century. See this cherished tradition come to life at an exclusive glassmaking demonstration inside a glass factory. You’ll have some free time to explore Murano at your own pace following the demonstration. Finally, you'll head to Burano Island, whose brightly colored houses you may recognize from photos. You'll explore the island on a guided walking tour as you discover the picture-perfect canals and squares. What you might not know is that they’ve been the home of Venice’s legendary lacemakers since the 16th century. After your guided walking tour, you’ll have the option to visit a lacemaking workshop or enjoy free time on your own. Return to Venice with your guide aboard the private boat, or stay a little longer and go back to the city on your own via public transport (your guide will tell you everything you need to know).
