Murano and Burano Private Lagoon Boat Tour
Overview
A private motoscafo for your party to Murano and Burano, with a glass-blowing demonstration and time in the painted lanes — priced per boat, not per person.
The public vaporetto to Burano takes fifty minutes and stands. A private motoscafo takes thirty, goes where the group wants and waits while they wander, and for a party of four or more it costs less per head than most people expect.
The run includes a glass-blowing demonstration at a Murano furnace — arranged privately, so there is no sales-floor pressure afterwards — and ninety minutes in Burano, where the painted houses and the lace school are worth the crossing on their own. Torcello can be added at no extra cost if the party would rather see the mosaics than shop.
Highlights
- Private boat, priced per party of up to eight
- Glass-blowing at a working Murano furnace
