About this experience
Enjoy a full-day boat tour to discover the 3 most famous islands of Venice Lagoon: Murano, Burano and Torcello. The tour starts just few steps far away from Venice Train Station, more precisely, in front of Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant. After getting onboard, you will head to Murano, and stop there for one and a half hours. Here you will visit one of the many glass factories located in the island and attend a glass-making demonstration. The second stop of this 6-hour tour is Burano, with its marvellous colored houses. The last stop of the tour is Torcello, known as the island where the Venetian civilization was born in the 7th century. Our Venetian islands tour is coming to an end but ... there is one last surprise: the return trip: this itinerary will allow you to enjoy a splendid panoramic view of the Venetian lagoon ... a very romantic and breathtaking sight. The tour ends in Riva degli Schiavoni, close by St Mark's Square

A beautiful day in Murano, Burano, and Torcello.
We visited Murano, Burano, and Torcello starting 500 meters from the station, and I must say that upon arriving at Piazza San Marco by boarding a larger boat to then go to the islands, everything was organized down to the smallest details; nothing to report, absolutely nothing negative. The guide, if I am not mistaken, Serena, was very attentive and professional, explaining many interesting things in various languages. I highly recommend it; excellent value for money.

It got us there
It was a floating lounge with many, many chairs that plowed along through the Venice lagoon's waters, ourselves aboard with maybe a hundred other eager tourists. And there was a probably knowledgeable guy up there in front of a microphone, explaining continually about something or other—we assumed it pertained to the three islands we would be visiting. Thing is, the volume was cranked up far beyond the capability of those ceiling speakers to output individual (articulate) words. So what should have had us anticipating details of the sights to come, merely filled the air with baritone human noise. At our first stop, Murano, we were herded off the boat and into bleachers at one side of a hall boasting glass-blowing paraphernalia. Watched something or other being made with the skill of a craftsman accustomed to doing that show day after day, after which we exited through a sales area. Glass plates, bowls, drink-ware, pitchers of various persuasions. Beautiful but not stuff we meant to cart around for the day and all the days following. We passed on that, and went outside through a side door. Walked around, glanced at tourist booths along the way, left for Burano whose fabled lace we failed to espy. Lovely walk, though, along several wide sidewalks that lined picturesque canals. Colored houses were fun, stimulating, but without anybody leaning on us to buy their stuff. By the time we debarked on Torcello, we were simply tired. Walked awhile, did our best to find the boat again for the return trip. All in all, it was a "meh" kind of day—not terrible, but not remotely worth either the expense or our time.

And I Never Give Negative Reviews
Dreadful... I don't know what we expected, but a group of ~200 grownups (plus several hapless children) being hauled courtesy of a weary old water-bus with promoter's logo obligingly printed on the gunnels and across the ample stern, was hardly our hope. Yes, the narrator did speak using an onboard P.A. setup which in any case was so loud that every word (repeated in I think four languages, true) was distorted beyond comprehension. At Murano we were all herded into a bleachers-filled room to watch a glass blower—well—blow glass for a few minutes. Impressive results without much if any explanation. Show over... Continuing through the planned gauntlet which led into impressive showrooms of classy glass creations, eventually we emerged into sunlight—after asking saleslady where we might find the exit. Whew. Next our large bunch boarded a boat that might have been a large prop for the Barbie movie. Pink. After more gnarled syllables from our explainer, we alighted on Torcello. With no clue given about a return to Venice, neither time nor farewell. At some point we bought tickets on the regular-scheduled vaporetto, and returned more or less home... actual HOME (where we started) being a generous 40 minute walk from where we exited the water-bus. Summing up, this thing looked better on my tablet screen than its reality. I would like to do an actual tour of these places —but not with an outfit whose hands were sweaty from just turning the crank.

Great day on the island tour
This day trip was good fun. The biggest benefit of this trip are the multiple pickup locations. We chose a pickup close to our hotel and were dropped back there after the trip. This trip allows enough time on each island to enjoy what there is. On the way back e had the most stunning sunset, which was very rewarding.

Murano Glass - a real treasure
I have always been interested on glass blowing. It seems to be simple but the art takes a lifetime to learn, The beauty of the glass created from the simple of act of twirling and blowing is not to be taken astride. I had always loved Murano glass. Seeing it made in front of me makes a reality for me.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-day excursion to Murano, Burano and Torcello from Venice Train Station: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Full-day excursion to Murano, Burano and Torcello from Venice Train Station cost?
+
Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full-day excursion to Murano, Burano and Torcello from Venice Train Station take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.
Is Full-day excursion to Murano, Burano and Torcello from Venice Train Station worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-day excursion to Murano, Burano and Torcello from Venice Train Station?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-day excursion to Murano, Burano and Torcello from Venice Train Station suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-day excursion to Murano, Burano and Torcello from Venice Train Station?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-day excursion to Murano, Burano and Torcello from Venice Train Station start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Venice?
+
On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Venice?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
