A 4 hour immersion in the Traditions of the islands lagoon of Venice.

Your guide will meet you and embark with you in your private boat and you will be whisked over the lagoon to the colourful island of Burano . This island famous for its multicoloured houses is still a working fishing island along with being famous for its lace making – still carried out today by some Buranase women. Take a stroll down the back streets where you get glimpses of the lagoon between the rainbow of coloured houses. Maybe sample a traditional Venetian ‘S’ biscuit as you wander through the island .

After about 40 minutes you will then go to Murano . Here in this family run furnace , you will be surprised at what is awaiting. This is a working furnace so they could be working on chandeliers , vases, glass sculptures -who knows! You will be given a personalised and detailed explanation of how glass is made as you watch the skilled craftsmen make glass using tools and skills passed down from generation to generation.  As you watch the skills of the craftsmen turn molten glass into maybe a vase or glass you will be invited to participate in the making of your chosen item . It may be adding a decoration or assisting in the moulding. After the hands-on demonstration you can wander the many showrooms with a glass of prosecco or water. This glass factory has an absolute no sales stress policy.
