Further information

Experience the Venetian Lagoon from a new perspective aboard a traditional bragozzo, a historic wooden boat once used by local fishermen and now lovingly restored by Venetian craftsmen.

Leaving the city behind, set out across the calm waters toward Torcello, the oldest inhabited island in the lagoon and the cradle of Venice’s history. During a guided visit, you'll enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that makes this island feel suspended in time.

A short ferry ride then brings you to Burano, famous for its colorful houses that brighten the canals and for its centuries-old lace-making tradition. Here, enjoy free time to wander through the narrow streets, browse local shops, or have lunch in one of the island’s small trattorias overlooking the water.

The journey continues to Murano (by boat), home of Venice’s legendary glassmaking art. Visit an authentic glass factory to watch the fascinating process of glassblowing and learn about the skill and creativity behind this centuries-old craft.

At the end of the day, relax on board as the bragozzo sails back toward Venice, offering a final view of the lagoon in the soft afternoon light.

This experience combines culture, craftsmanship, and the quiet beauty of the Venetian landscape, letting you discover the true essence of the lagoon at a gentle, unhurried pace.

This tour was amazing! Visiting the three islands on a historic boat was a very unique experience. The boat was very spacious and made the trip easy. Our guide Georgia was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the local history and culture. Would absolutely recommend this tour.
