Do you want to add something to your visit to Venice? The Venice Islands Private Tour takes you on an adventurous and luxurious day through the important islands of the world famous lagoon.

In this exclusive private tour of the islands around Venice, your Livitaly guide will join you for the entire four hour visit. Explore the three main islands: Murano, Torcello and Burano. Each island has artisan workshops, amazing landmarks and unique architecture. A visit to these islands provides a full immersion into the daily life of Venice and its citizens.

The Venice Islands private tour begins directly from your Venetian hotel, if provided with a water taxi dock (if not, we will provide the closest meeting location). Meet your local expert and prepare to learn about the traditions and customs of this magical city. Enjoy a a luxury water taxi ride and get ready for your firstisland exploration. Soon, you will be docking in Murano.

Up until the 19th century, the residents of Murano were constricted to live on the island and only marry within the island’s population. This guaranteed that the secret of glass blowing would not leave the island. After a short walking tour of the island, you will be taken to our favorite glass blowing factory for a live demonstration of this intriguing art form. Watch the artisans blow magnificent glass objects and tour the factory with the possibility of shopping.

Back your private taxi for your Venice Islands Tour, your guide will show you the lagoon from the boat for a ride towards Torcello. This adorable deserted island was the very first to be inhabited. Today, there is just one small church that remains, intriguing both visitors and locals to visit. In the past, the Ancient Romans would cross the lagoon by foot and bring construction equipment and other useful tools to conquer the island. Your visit to Torcello is perfect for hearing stories and taking pictures of the beautiful landscape.

Torcello and Burano are right across from each other. After a quick ride across the lagoon, your private guide will walk you through Burano, the gem of the Venetian lagoon. Prepare to be speechless as you admire this Unesco World Heritage site. The unique architecture of the fisherman’s houses will fill your photographs with colors, stories and anecdotes. Take in the beauty of this island as you admire the delightful houses and learn about Merletto techniques.

Your Venice Islands Private Tour ends on Burano and the water taxi is booked to take you back to your hotel within the end of the 4th hour.
