Enjoy a full-day boat tour to discover the 3 most famous islands of Venice Lagoon: Murano, Burano and Torcello. The tour starts just few steps far away from Venice Train Station, more precisely, in front of Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant. After getting onboard, you will head to Murano, and stop there for one and a half hours. Here you will visit one of the many glass factories located in the island and attend a glass-making demonstration.
The second stop of this 6-hour tour is Burano, with its marvellous colored houses. The last stop of the tour is Torcello, known as the island where the Venetian civilization was born in the 7th century.
Our Venetian islands tour is coming to an end but ... there is one last surprise: the return trip: this itinerary will allow you to enjoy a splendid panoramic view of the Venetian lagoon ... a very romantic and breathtaking sight. The tour ends in Riva degli Schiavoni, close by St Mark's Square

This day trip was good fun. The biggest benefit of this trip are the multiple pickup locations. We chose a pickup close to our hotel and were dropped back there after the trip. This trip allows enough time on each island to enjoy what there is. On the way back e had the most stunning sunset, which was very rewarding.

I have always been interested on glass blowing. It seems to be simple but the art takes a lifetime to learn, The beauty of the glass created from the simple of act of twirling and blowing is not to be taken astride.
I had always loved Murano glass. Seeing it made in front of me makes a reality for me.

Essentially just paying for the transport to these islands with some commentary during the travel periods. The man doing the commentary speaks 5 languages, which is impressive, but in reality everything he says is repeated in each language!
After meeting the tour and boarding the ferry near the station, you go back to a more central area of Venice and have to switch ferry’s to a bigger one with a boat load of people, this wastes about 45minutes.
The glass glowing demonstration at Murano is not great, everyone gets herded into a viewing section. There are much much better presentations on the island by other Murano stores which you can simply walk into (no charge)’ You only get at best about 40 minutes on Murano (after the presentation) which means there is no where near enough time to explore and find some truly masterful work. The tour takes you to a part of the island which is like the Kmart of Murano!
Too much time on Torcello island where there is not much to do or see, so not sure why there is so much time allocated there?
Buy a traghetto day pass and do these islands at your own pace, it is not hard, spend the extra money on lunch, or a great piece of Murano as a memory of your day.
