Get to know about Venice and Murano’s iconic landmarks by hopping onto a wonderful eco boat that will provide you with panoramic views of the ancient Venetian lagoons and islands. The boat ride starts from Santa Lucia Railway Station, or the artificial island of Tronchetto. From here, the route takes you through the magnificent Giudecca Canal and the various basilicas and palaces on its banks, like the Redentore Church and the Molino Stucky.

Alight the boat at St. Mark's Square and explore the area full of monuments using itineraries that come with your audio guides, produced by famous Venetian storyteller Alberto Toso Fei and the Authorized Tourist Guide Cooperative of Venice. On reaching Murano island, enjoy the live glass-making demonstration inside a real furnace that is included in your experience.
