Group Tour Murano > Burano > San Francesco del Deserto

Departure from Sottomarina at Ponte Isola dell’Unione

You will cross the Venice Lagoon from south to north, sailing along the coastlines of Pellestrina and Lido di Venezia, where fishing villages such as Pellestrina, San Pietro in Volta, Alberoni, and Malamocco are located, as well as the renowned Lido di Venezia, one of Italy's most exclusive holiday resorts, whose fame is also linked to the important film festival held annually.

Alternatively, for departures from other locations, you will always navigate within the lagoon until reaching the island of Murano, famous for glassmaking, thanks to the many furnaces that still keep this tradition alive today.
A stop of approximately 1 hour for a visit to a glass factory with a demonstration by a master glassmaker of blown and sculpted glass techniques.

After the visit to Murano, the tour continues to Burano, with a stop for lunch in a typical island restaurant (on request) and free time to visit this characteristic fishing village, brightened by the colorful facades of the houses and famous above all for lace-making, which flourished here as early as the 16th century.

Continuation to the Island of San Francesco del Deserto.
Stop of approximately 1 hour to visit this paradisiacal island, situated in a privileged position between Burano and Sant’Erasmo. Currently, the island is home to the Convent of the Franciscan Friars who live on the island in prayer and meditation, leading a simple life and cultivating small plots of land. The island has become famous as it is said that Saint Francis of Assisi stayed there during his return journey from the Holy Land.

At the end of the guided tour, return to the departure point.
