This tour departs at either 9.30 a.m. or 2.30 p.m daily (2:30pm only before March 8, 2008) from San Marco in the centre of Venice to the three islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. Murano is the most famous of the Venetian Islands , and the most visited courtesy of the famous glass-works that produce the popular “Murano Glass”. The people of Venice have been making crystal and glass since the 10th Century, when the Venetian merchants brought back the secrets of production from the East. 
The Island of Burano is the most picturesque of Venetian Islands of the Lagoon. Famous for its lace-making industry, the pretty fishing village has its streets and canals lined by pastel coloured houses.  Once the commercial capital of Venice , nowadays Torcello boasts a population of only 60 people. Deserted, the island boasts the Venetian-Byzantine Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta founded in the 7th Century was Venice 's first cathedral. This tour is operated by the Serenissima company, and is a large multi-lingual group tour. You only get approximately 35 - 40 minutes on each island.
