Description

Climb aboard the Tortuga, an authentic Venetian wooden boat, and let yourself be transported to the most secret heart of the lagoon. We will sail through silent canals and timeless islands, surrounded by water, light, and pure beauty. In Murano, we will tell you about the magic of blown glass, among ancient furnaces and incandescent colors; in Burano, you will be enchanted by the colorful houses reflected in the water and the delicate patterns of handmade lace. If you choose the sunset tour, you will see the lagoon transform into a painting: the sky turns gold and pink as the sun slowly descends over the water and everything becomes silent and perfect. The wind in your hair, the salty scent in the air, a glass of wine in your hand: every moment is an intimate, authentic, unforgettable experience.
