Prepare yourself for a luxury panoramic excursion where every detail has been designed to provide a memorable experience. Departing from the historic Piazza San Marco, our journey takes us to the heart of the Venetian Lagoon, to the islands of Murano and Burano.

Aboard an elegant and comfortable boat, you will be guided by an experienced hostess who will share stories and curiosities about the places visited. Murano, our first stop, has been world-famous since the 1200s for its glass art.

    Murano Island is renowned for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Boats filled with eager tourists arrive to explore the Museo del Vetro, which tells the history of glass through the ages, and to purchase local handcrafted souvenirs. The Church of Santa Maria e San Donato, built in Romanesque style, features a vibrant mosaic floor and is said to house the bones of a legendary dragon.

    Burano is located in the Venetian Lagoon, and like its neighbor Venice, seven kilometers to the south, it is actually a locality made up of several small islands connected by bridges. Situated near Torcello at the northern end of the lagoon, it is known for its glassware and lacework.
