Free Tour Murano and Burano from Venice

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION: From August 1st 2024, the Municipality of Venice requires tourist groups to wear a hearing aid during the activity. The guide will provide one at the beginning of the tour, since it is a free tour and the hearing aid is expensive, a deposit of € 15 is required which must be given to the guide at the beginning of the tour and which the same guide will return to you at the end when he gives you the hearing aid. IT IS MANDATORY TO BRING THE HEARING AID AND PAY THE DEPOSIT TO TAKE THE TOUR.

On this tour we will visit the two most famous and interesting islands near Venice: Murano and Burano. The island of Murano is known for the manufacture of blown glass. On the tour we will visit the Canal dei Vetrai, full of shops where they display and sell the best samples of Murano glass. In addition to glass, Murano offers us an important artistic and cultural offer, highlighting the Basilica of Santa Maria and San Donato, a masterpiece of Italian Romanesque or the Church of San Pedro Martir, famous for its blown glass lamps. We will also visit a glass factory where, whoever wishes, can see an exhibition by a master glassmaker on how glass is blown. On the island of Burano we will find a small and beautiful fishing village, characteristic because its inhabitants paint their houses in very bright and striking colours, giving the island a very picturesque appearance. There we will find the Tower of San Martino, with an obvious inclination or the peculiar House of Bepi, an interesting and beloved inhabitant of Burano. The streets of Bhutan are full of shops where the production of merletto, bobbin lace, is carried out. The tour will not lack gastronomic and cultural recommendations.
