Murano & Burano Island Cruise Tour with 3-Hour Free Time

Set off from San Marco for a relaxing full-day boat excursion across the Venetian Lagoon. Accompanied by an onboard guide, you’ll enjoy informative commentary as you cruise toward the islands. Your first stop is Murano, world-renowned for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition, where you’ll watch a live glassblowing demonstration and have free time to explore landmarks like the Basilica of Santi Maria e Donato and the Church of San Pietro Martire (Entrances not included). Continue sailing to Burano, famous for its brightly painted houses and laid-back charm. You’ll have approximately three hours to explore at your own pace—wander along canals, photograph the colorful streets, visit artisan shops, or enjoy lunch at a local trattoria. After a memorable day immersed in lagoon culture, you’ll return comfortably to San Marco in the late afternoon
