This tour was taken as part of a bus tour. It cost 25 euros. Enough time and a good guide and it was worth it. It was already a pleasure to take a boat ride on the blue lagoon. First we visited the island of Murano. As the name suggests, this is the island where Murano glass was produced and is still being produced. First, we were shown the production process in the workshop. The master did not make a vase, but a wonderful horse. It could then be purchased for 20 euros. There were also a huge number of vases, candy bowls, etc. Smaller things: glasses, glasses and jewelry could be purchased in a huge number of shops. Jewelry (earrings, pendant and children's watch) about 40 euros. Two glasses of champagne 120 euros. Then we just walked around the island. There are also enough bridges and channels. Loved the glass museum! But I didn't manage to get into the church. For Venice, this is not news.
Next was the island of Burano, which is famous for Burano lace and is known to everyone for the bright colors of its houses. The master showed how these famous laces are weaved. The prices are outrageous, of course. We bought a framed butterfly for 5 euros, almost tiny. It was very nice to take a walk along the canal, sit and slowly drink coffee in such a wonderful place. It was one of the most successful excursions. If you get a chance, be sure to visit.
