Full-Day Venice Lagoon Tour: Visit Murano, Burano and Torcello

/ August 4, 2026

1.Full-Day Venice Lagoon Tour: Visit Murano, Burano and Torcello

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 332 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $36.14Our pick

Efficient lagoon hopping to Murano, Burano, and Torcello, with glassblowing, lace, and Devil's Bridge sights in about 6 hours.

“Our guide spoke too quickly without a pause between languages, this made the commentary hard to understand. The boat we had has seen better days. We even had to fix our seat. The pilot did not seem too care for it either. We had too much time on Munaro, not enough time in Burano, and a rushed third stop. A very poor experience overall.”

Full-day Boat Tour of Venice Islands from St Mark’s Square

/ August 4, 2026

3.Full-day Boat Tour of Venice Islands from St Mark’s Square

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 117 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $32.44Best value

A 7-hour boat day from Riva degli Schiavoni to Murano, Burano, and Torcello, with a Murano glass demo and free time ashore.

“While the concept of this tour was excellent, the day I went fell far below my expectations. Firstly, and this is not the fault of the tour group, the weather was awful, and a lot of this tour happens outside, so it is worth checking the forecast before you book. Additionally, it was nearly impossible to understand the guides over the ship speakers, and that led to a lot of confusion for the group.”

Private 6-hour Venice tour with Lucia: San Marco and Rialto, 1-hour private Canal Grande water taxi, optional Murano, Cannaregio ghetto.

“Lucia toured us privately in Venice for the full day and was absolutely fantastic. We spent most of the day in the Jewish Ghetto, as we toured two synagogues and heard about the area’s rich history. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch at one of the two kosher restaurants. Lucia’s knowledge of history and Jewish culture is phenomenal, making this day so very special for my wife and I. She was professional, courteous, funny and so pleasant to be with!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $662.26

Amarone Wine Tour from Venice with lunch, an expert wine guide, and tastings at small Valpolicella wineries, all in 8 hours.

“Mario was an outstanding tour guide. He was professional and customized the tour to our exact interests. We did a day in Valpolicella, an excellent walking tour of Padua with Rachel and a day in Prosecco. We learned so much about the making of Amarone wines. After that lovely day, we did a walking tour in Padua with Rachel. What a special gem this tour was. We saw the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes of Giotto that evening. Many we met later in Venice shared their love of those frescoes. I recommend this tour. Finally we spent a day in Prosecco Hills on a private tour. My husband and I are wine…”

10.Prosecco Wine Tour (all-inclusive full day with lunch and expert wine guide)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $662.26

Prosecco DOCG day trip from Venice with expert guide, included lunch, and vineyard tastings in the hills of Valdobbiadene.

“Venice is gorgeous, but it is a lot! Rachel (a now-native from Ohio) and her husband Mario enhanced our experience and made our (family of five with young adult/teens) three-day, post-cruise visit to this beautiful but crowded city SOO much easier. From our transfer from Trieste (during the G7 Summit - the city was all screwed up), then meeting up for great pictures spots, a gondola ride, then off to bars and restaurants. Our first day in Venice was filled with great sites and amazing food.”
