About this activity

Explore three distinct Venetian lagoon islands—Mazzorbo, Burano, and Murano—in a single 4.5-hour guided journey. Experience the vibrant painted architecture of Burano, centuries-old glassblowing traditions in Murano's working factories, and the quieter charm of Mazzorbo's Byzantine mosaics and rural landscape.

Hop from island to island between Mazzorbo, Burano, & Murano! Watch colourful houses wiggle with delight at their reflections in the Canal of Burano, witness artistry in action at the glass factories and artisanal workshops in Murano, engage with vivid biblical tales on byzantine mosaics under glittering golden medieval church apses and marvel at the quiet, serene nature of Mazzorbo and the lagoon.
