Burano + San Francesco del Deserto Tour

Meet us at Burano Port to start our guided boat tour of the Venice Lagoon. First, we'll spend approximately one hour strolling through the streets of Burano, admiring its bridges and canals while sharing interesting facts. The houses are painted in vibrant colors to be visible through the region's typical fog.

We will pause to view the San Martino Church and discuss the history of the Burano bell tower, which has a connection to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Afterward, we'll board the boat to San Francisco del Desierto. During the journey, we will talk about the island's fame since the Ancient Roman Empire as we approach the 13th-century monastery.

Upon arrival, we'll explore the cloisters, visit the church, and tours the gardens, reflecting the Franciscan presence. We will also discuss historical changes during the plague and the Austrian occupation.

Finally, we return to the boat and sail back to Burano Port, concluding our tour after 3 hours of exploration.
