On board the boat, the guide will give you some information about the lagoon and its islands – this Venice boat excursion provides multilingual explanations carried out with a microphone inside the boat. During the stops you can either follow the program of the excursion or visit the islands independently.
The first stop is about 40 minutes from Murano island, known throughout the world for its ancient tradition of glass making, and you can also optionally visit a glass factory with a demonstration of the art of glass blowing.
The second island will be Burano, the bustling island famous for its colourful houses and the hand-crafted lace work, true works of art made of lace that can be purchased at local shops or street stalls. During this 35 minutes stop, you can explore the island on your own.
