Luxury Tour of Murano and Burano by Private Boat and Local Guide

4 to 5 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English and 2 more

Swap the crowded shared boat tours in Venice for a private boat experience to Murano and Burano. From start to finish, your dedicated local guide will be by your side — on the boat, in the furnace, and through the streets of Burano. First, glide across the open lagoon to Murano, where your glass expert takes you inside one of the island's oldest working furnaces. Watch a master shape molten glass at 1,200°C into a stunning work of art — a skill jealously guarded for over 700 years. Then continue to Burano for a rare encounter with one of the last traditional lace masters, who will demonstrate this UNESCO-recognized craft up close in her own home. Stroll the island's iconic rainbow streets and taste the famous bussolai cookies. Your private boat then winds back through Venice's narrow canals — past ancient palazzos and hidden corners most visitors never see from the water. Small groups only, maximum 8 guests.
