What an unforgettable afternoon under the sun, exploring Venice’s beautiful islands! We began with a private glassmaking demonstration in a charming, historic Murano factory, then wandered through the colorful streets of Burano, full of vibrant houses and local charm. To top it all off, we enjoyed a glass of wine while taking in breathtaking views of the lagoon and meeting a famous winemaker — a perfect ending to a magical day!

We had an amazing experience with Emanuela during our trip to Murano and Burano! She was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, sharing fascinating details about the islands’ history and culture in a fun, engaging way. It was clear she genuinely cared about everyone in the group and made the day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Emanuela also went above and beyond by recommending some fantastic local restaurants, which turned out to be excellent. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend her!
