Itinerary

  • Laguna di Venezia (Pass By)

    If we told you there was a way to experience an authentic side of Venice without the crowds, would you believe us? The secret lies in getting away from Piazza San Marco and venturing further out to explore smaller islands strewn throughout the marshy, magical Venice Lagoon.

  • Chiesa di San Martino (Pass By)

    This church was rebuilt several times and took on its present appearance between 1500 and 1600. It was consecrated on 29 October 1645 by the then bishop of Torcello Marco Antonio Martinengo. Over the centuries it underwent several restorations, while preserving the ancient architecture. Seen from the outside, the church lacks a main entrance, in fact you enter laterally through a Renaissance door, near the Chapel of Santa Barbara.

  • Burano

    Further north in the lagoon lies Burano, a fishing island made up of hundreds of colorful houses that earn it the title of one of the most colorful towns in the world. Unlike Murano, which enjoyed industrial prowess for much of its history, Burano remained largely agricultural and fishing was its main industry. The colored houses are said to have been painted in bright hues to help fishermen navigate the lagoon on foggy days. Burano is also well-known for its lacemaking traditions, which originated in the 16th century.

  • No credit or refunds will be given in the case of a no show (if you don't show up at the meeting point at the time indicated on your voucher). Therefore we advise you to locate in advance the departure point and how to get there in order to avoid being late or any inconveniences that will prevent you from being at the meeting point in time for the departure.
  • The voucher issued at the end of the reservation must be printed (hard copy) and presented at the time of the visit.
  • In time of high water the tour will not take place.
  • The tour is collective, so the presence of other participants who have booked is to be expected, up to a maximum of 30 people.

This means that some parts of the route may be closed to people in wheelchairs and or with physical impairments. The tour will cross four bridges.
  • On certain dates, most travelers staying outside of Venice who are planning to visit for the day will be required to pay a €5 access fee. For further details (including exemptions) and to learn what days this fee is applicable, please visit: https://cda.ve.it

Silvia is a gem!

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour of Burano was so informative and fun! Silvia is a gem - because she and all her family live on the island and have for generations m, she had a deep love of the island culture and history. Highly recommend!

Excellent Gem!

Published on Aug, 2024

She was great! One of the best tour director we had. She has a passion for Burano that makes you fall in love with this island. We loved seeing all the beautiful & hidden gems of Burano! No one should miss this tour with her in Burano.

A must do tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Silvia shared her love of Burano and its history as we walked the beautiful waterways of the island. Learning the history of the island, it's origins, traditions, and life of the people made for an experience where you feel connected to the people and the island. She answered all our questions along the way. We learned so much from and enjoyed our day in Burano all because of Silvia. Having a tour guide that lives on the island gives a personal viewpoint. It was a special tour and day as a result. Thank you Silvia for sharing your life and knowledge.

The Secret Corners of Burano

Published on May, 2024

Silvia was a wonderful tour guide. She loves her island and shows you the heart of it. She shares her home as a friend would, taking you to places that might be missed otherwise. There wasn’t any pressure re vendors. This was my favorite part of my trip to Venice. I highly recommend

Worth the trip to Burano!

Published on May, 2024

Having a wonderful guide who is a Burano native and current resident with her family added so much to my experience. Silvia was waiting by the dock and really knowledgeable with a depth that guidebooks don’t cover. In addition to historical information Silvia added the dimension of present life on the island. No pressure re vendors etc. Highly recommend Silvia for a relaxing and unique perspective on Burano, while seeing spots that you might otherwise miss.
