Step by Step

Navigate through the Venetian Lagoon to reach the islands and enjoy the view!
The island of Murano is the first stop of this excursion: you will have a chance to enter a glass factory and see the masters working the glass as they have been doing for centuries and then visit the center of the island.
Second stop of this half day excursion is Burano, famous for the colorful fishermen's houses and for the traditional handmade laces.
Torcello is the third and last stop of this tour. The island is the first to be inhabited in the Venetian lagoon and still shows the traces of its origins.
The church of Santa Fosca stands in the main square of Torcello and is a fine example of venetian-byzantine style.
In the middle of Torcello stands the ancient Attila's throne.
Cross the Devil's Bridge which still preserves the shape of the ancient Venetian bridges
The boat leaves from St'Mark's Square, which you will have the chance to admire from a different perspective.

    Tickets were as described. However, you can definitely stay longer than the 50 mins allotted at each stop.

    Quick trip to see three islands. The timing was perfect for the pricing. It was a little hard to hear the tour guide on the boat so recommend reading up on the islands beforehand. They did not mention that if you are leaving from the island of Venice that you have to be at the first meeting point 30 minutes ahead of time.
