Full description

See the natural and historic attractions of the islands of Venice aboard a full-day cruise on the Venetian Lagoon. This city cruise features stops in Murano and Burano, where you'll taste local dishes and admire world-renowned artisanry. Murano is the first stop — there you'll visit a glass factory and see the famed Murano glassmakers at work. You can also discover the island on your own, just inform the tour guide and return in time to continue your journey towards Burano. In Burano, colorful houses line the shores of the canal, giving this city the nickname 'Rainbow Island.' Take some time to stroll and admire typical lace embroidery and taste local seafood dishes. On the return trip, you'll cruise to Venice Riva Degli Schiavoni where you'll have time to visit St. Mark's Square, after which a shuttle boat will take you back to the Venice Train Station.

Murano and Burano a must. However, it was not the 8 hours we had hoped for. It was the same tour only without Torcello. Accordingly, the stay in Murano was only 1 hour and in Burano two hours. Would have liked to have stayed longer ...
