Arrive at the meeting point in central Venice and step aboard a private boat bound for Murano, famous for its centuries-old glassblowing tradition. As you cruise through the waterways, take in stunning views of Venice from the water while listening to fascinating stories from your guide. Learn how glassmaking secrets were once guarded so fiercely that revealing them could lead to execution. Once docked at a handpicked glassblowing workshop, watch skilled artisans transform molten glass into shimmering works of art. Afterward, explore Murano to enjoy its sleepy canals without being hurried.
Continue your journey to Burano, a charming island known for its vivid houses and exceptional handmade lace. Watch as local women carry on a delicate tradition, stitching lace by hand just as generations have done before. After the demonstration, enjoy some free time to explore the island at your own pace—visit the lace museum, wander along the colorful canals, or find the perfect souvenir to take home.
