About this experience
The best experience to learn about the old arts of Venice lagoon islands: Murano and Burano. With a private boat from Venice, directly to the oldest original Murano Glass Factory, where a Master glassblower and his team are working daily, following the tradition of centuries ago. From Murano, crossing the lagoon, we’ll reach Burano island, famous for its lace work and the colourful atmosphere. Walking by picturesque houses, enjoying the typical “bussolai” (famous cookies of the island), feeling like a resident. Last but not least, an insightful guided visit into an historical hand-made lace workshop. Then back to Venice by private boat, for an outstanding view of the lagoon.

Strongly recommend this experience!
This was one of the highlights for our family during our Venice stay. Luca, our guide, picked us up at our hotel and cared for us throughout the entire day, showing us the islands surrounding Venice and explaining a lot about the relevant history. He was kind, great with our daughter, passionate about Venice and Murano, and overall a joy to be with. Seeing the glassblowing maestros work was awe inspiring. Burano was also beautiful and a special place to visit.

Private tour Murano Burano
Fabulous tour. Our guide Nico was very knowledgeable and made pick up and drop off easy. A lovely young man. We skipped the crowds, had a personalised tour of Murano and Burano. Would highly recommend!

Great tour guide....tour itself ok
Georgia was a wonderful tour guide. She gave an overview of the layout of venice and was very personable. She provided an excellent recommendation for dinner and shared cookies soecific to burano. She herself is a Murano native. That said, I would try to get her for another tour. This tour, while lovely, was a big sales pitch at a glass factory and a lace shop. When we did not purchase anything, the annoyance was visible.

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by Private Boat and Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by Private Boat and Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by Private Boat and Guide take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by Private Boat and Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 203 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by Private Boat and Guide?
+
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 Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by Private Boat and Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by Private Boat and Guide?
+
Around 71 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by Private Boat and Guide 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.
