Family Boat Tour & Scavenger Hunt in the Venice Islands
Set off on a family-friendly island-hopping adventure across the enchanting Venice Lagoon, where storytelling, games, and local history combine to create an exciting and educational day trip to Murano, Burano, and Torcello. This unique experience begins with a boat ride to the island of Murano, famous for its centuries-old tradition of glassmaking. Your children will be drawn into a scavenger hunt with a thrilling narrative: meet the character Archimede, a glass master from the renowned Seguso family who has been falsely imprisoned by the mysterious Council of X for suspected espionage. By solving puzzles and clues, your family will uncover the identity of a buyer seeking a secret glass formula. At the end of your mission, you’ll meet a real glassblower and watch him demonstrate the intricate craft that has made Murano world-famous. Next, visit the Glass Museum, showcasing stunning creations from the 14th to 19th centuries, and the historic Church of Santa Maria and Donato, known for its ancient origins and impressive mosaic floors. Continue to Burano, easily recognized by its colorful homes lining the canals. This island is renowned for delicate lacework and its beloved cookie, the bussolai, a treat enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Your final stop is the atmospheric island of Torcello, now mostly quiet and green, but once the birthplace of Venetian civilization. Enjoy lunch at one of the island’s restaurants before exploring the ruins of ancient buildings, lush landscapes, and important religious landmarks such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the round Church of Santa Fosca. This interactive, immersive experience makes history fun for everyone.
