On this day trip from Venice, you'll get to explore three distinct islands in the Venetian Lagoon – Murano, Burano and Torcello.

Setting off in a panoramic boat, you'll first stop at Murano, famous for its glass-making. You'll have a chance to watch an artist create glass-blown pieces at a furnace. After time to shop for souvenirs, you'll head to Burano, known for its colorful houses and lacemaking. Here, you can have lunch and explore the island, including its main square and church.

The last stop of the tour will be Torcello, a tiny island with a rich history – it was the lagoon's first inhabited island and is home to the region's oldest churches.
