Blowing glass demostration

After sailing past the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the Public Gardens, the tip of Sant'Elena and the famous Lido beach resort, the boat arrives in Murano, known throughout the world for its glass manufacturing industry. Here we stop for around 40 minutes to visit to one of the factories. The second stop is at the picturesque island of Burano, famous not only for its lace but also for the fishermen's houses painted in bright colours. Then after a short cruise, we reach Torcello, the earliest centre of civilization in the estuary. Only the Cathedral with its magnificent mosaics and the church of Santa Fosca remain as testimony of its former glory. The stop in each island is around 1h30. Then the return is to St.Mark's Square. Tour ending times are approximate, as the tour might last slightly longer at times.

Itinerary

Please arrive at the meeting point 20 minutes before departure. The meeting point is at the "Yellow Desk" on Riva degli Schiavoni, at the intersection with Calle degli Albanesi—located between Hotel Danieli and the Palazzo delle Prigioni, just a few meters from the Ponte della Paglia.
Our staff will escort you to the boarding point at Cornoldi (Riva degli Schiavoni), where you will board our shared motorboat.
The first stop is the island of Murano; here, you will watch a demonstration by a master glassmaker and learn about various techniques, ranging from glassblowing to sculpting.
The next stop is the island of Burano, where you can stroll among the colorful houses and sit down for a drink or a light lunch (not included).
The final stop is the island of Torcello; here, too, you will have free time to explore the island and its ancient churches.
Return journey via the Sant'Erasmo route.
