The tour of the islands of the lagoon is a must, whether this is your first time in Venice or you've already been here several times.
This tour gives you the possibility to take a break from the crowds of the city center, getting on a private boat, which is a very cool experience to make, and at the same time, is the perfect chance to see Venice from another point of view, discovering its arts and crafts, passed down with passion by the artisans.

Let's get on a private boat to reach te island of Murano in about 20 minutes. Admire Venice's beauty from another point of view!
You will understand why Venice is famous worldwide for the Murano glass after a visit to a glass factory to see how the masters shape the glass, creating vases, sculptures, chandeliers, and so on by hand. You'll be fascinated by this ancient and marvelous art. I'll lead you to an exclusive glass factory where we'll be given the white-glove treatment.
Murano is not only about glass. Admire the Dome's beautiful apsis, and enjoy the view from the top of Pontelongo's bridge.
Let's jump again on our private boat and reach Burano in 20 minutes. Enjoy the breeze in your hair while listening to Venice's lagoon history and facts.
Welcome to Alice in Wonderland's island. Get lost in the labyrinth full of bright, colorful houses and look for the most famous one: Bepi's House! Them, have a bite of the buranelli's biscuits, you won't regret it!
You'll be then enchanted by the skillful hands of an elderly lacemaker, who still works with passion every single stitch. Let's understand here why Burano's lace is called "stitch in the air". Here we'll also see a private collection of laces from the 15th century.
Have a rest for a while to recharge yourselves, and proceed to the next island.
We'll walk through a vineyard where it is grown a special grape, and we'll reach the church where the oldest bell of the entire lagoon is preserved.
It's time to go back to Venice, with a heart full of emotions that you won't forget.

I'm a tour leader in Venice, where I moved to 18 years ago to study at the Cà Foscari University, and my specialization is in Japanese language and culture.
I am deeply fascinated and fell in love with Japan and its traditions, and I consider it my second homeland.
Somehow, Venice's nostalgic soul reminds me of the magic, beautiful fluctuating landscapes of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Venice is like a bubble, a stand-alone reality, a separate world where you feel like living in a different era.
In Venice, everything gets slower. You can catch people's eyes, and you can always feel at home.I deliver wine and food tours, sightseeing walikng tours for families with children, and tours of the islands of the lagoon.
I love the outdoors, walking, and sharing my experience with my guests.
I'm looking forward to show you my Venice!
