The most convenient and comfortable way to travel around Venice and to see the beautiful islands is to travel in your own private boat.
The advantage of our private boats tours and water transfers is experiencing VIP treatment, you will avoid getting caught up in large tourist groups waiting in public areas, no waiting around, especially in peak season when the ferries are so crowded its a race to get on and off, enjoy the luxury of being picked up at your hotel’s private jetty and cruising around at your leisure before being dropped back at your hotel, a sophisticated and charming way to see this unique city that has been completely built on water.
Venice is an archipelago of 119 little islands all connected by glistening canals that are all joined by beautiful bridges.
Italian Allure Travel has a wonderful NEW PRIVATE 4 HOUR BOAT TOUR that will take you from the mainland to visit 3 of the most important islands MURANO, BURANO and TORCELLO. The private tour will start by picking you up at your hotel’s jetty and you will have your own tour guide on board the boat for the entire tour. (Please advise if your hotel does not have a private jetty and we will arrange a convenient central location for pick-up and drop-off)
MURANO is the island famous for its exquisite glass production, you will have special access to a glass factory and will be able to see the glass masters at work, producing the glass pieces famous throughout the world for the high quality in design.

The next stop on the tour is the incredible island of BURANO, a peaceful fisherman village where the houses are all painted in bright colours like out of a fairy tale. This island stop will literally take your breath away with its tranquil atmosphere and the magical lollypop like houses that were originally painted to help the fishermen find their way home. You will stop at a well known local bar that will pamper you with a hot chocolate or cappuccino and delicious Burano biscuits.
And finally the exquisite island of TORCELLO, and island that now counts just 20 inhabitants and was in the 7th century the first “Venice”, being the first island of the lagoon to have been populated and once held the largest population of the Republic of Venice. Torcello is a magical place to visit and still has an amazing Byzanthine Cathedral.
