Magical - Truly so special. I felt like a child on Christmas morning seeing and experiencing the glass blowing tradition. Every piece of the experience was perfect and my family and friends found the experience to be so magical.

Unique experience in Murano - The whole family agreed this experience was the highlight of their Venice trip. It was such a unique experience to participate in. The crew were so much fun and patient with us while we tried our hand at the craft. David was great at keeping us informed and up to date on our meeting point and everything went smoothly. We would highly recommend this experience. The Cox family

A Must in Venice - Absolutely unforgettable experience with David as our guide in Venice! From the moment we stepped onto the boat, David made us feel like we weren’t just guests — we were family. My significant other and I went with our mothers, and the entire day was filled with warmth, laughter, and incredible memories. David’s energy was infectious; he was fun, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Venice, Murano, and Burano. He has a gift for making every person on the boat feel seen and welcome.
The boat ride itself was breathtaking, weaving through the canals of Venice and out to the colorful beauty of Burano, and then to Murano, where we had one of the most special experiences of the trip — a private glassblowing session. We weren’t just observers; we were invited to assist in making our own glass cups alongside the owners and their family, who welcomed us with such hospitality it felt like we had known them for years. You could truly feel how much effort David and the Murano community put into making this experience personal and meaningful.
Lunch was another highlight — David brought us to an incredible restaurant with fresh, authentic Venetian cuisine. It was the perfect pause in the day to relax, laugh, and enjoy the company.
This was more than a tour — it was a deeply personal, joyful, and immersive experience. If you’re considering a private guide in Venice, I can’t recommend David enough. He doesn’t just show you the sights — he brings you into the heart of the culture and the people. It was one of the best days of our trip, and we’re so grateful to have shared it with him.

Wonderful Day in Murano! - We had such a blast on this glass tour and experience! Davide set us up with wonderful lunch and a boat tour before our glass blowing experience. They shipped our pieces back and they arrived in one piece. Overall 100/10 would do again!

Great experience, could have been longer - For us, parents, 2 daughters, 15 and 17 years old, the workshop was a highlight of our short trip to Venice. We were able to experience the glass-blowing art up close. Pick up and return by boat worked great. "Our" works, 2 glasses, 1 vase, 1 heart, we were able to pick up the next day in an arranged restaurant. The workshop could very much have taken much longer. I would also have liked to know much more about the production process. We highly recommend the workshop!

HOT AND YOU MAKE THE GLASS!! - HOT STUFF!! YOU MAKE THE GLASS!! And you get picked up in awesome motorboat through the Venice Canals! Everyone is extremely welcoming and serve a bottle of sparkling wine with water, yummm….. The maestro Diego provides great assistance with the glassblowing and creates an extremely fun and HOTTTT environment! We get to keep the products we make and they ship to your house! Glassblowing is extremely difficult and this class definitely helped me learn to appreciate the art even more. Grazie mille ❤️

A Creative, Fun, and Must-Do Experience - We had an amazing time with this glass-making tour. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, engaging, and incredibly fun. Diego and David were fantastic—they were not only knowledgeable and skilled, but also warm, patient, and great at making everyone feel involved. They walked us through the entire process step by step, and it was fascinating to see how much artistry and technique goes into each piece.
Having the opportunity to participate in the glass-making process was a highlight. It was hands-on, safe, and really satisfying to learn the steps. You can tell that Diego and David are passionate about what they do, and it made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Whether you’re a local or visiting from out of town, I highly recommend the experience. It’s perfect for couples, friends, or even solo travelers looking to try something unique and memorable in Venezia.

Highlight of Venice! - Our family of four loved the glass-blowing experience with Master Diego, and would all HIGHLY recommend it. From communication and coordination, to our funny and sweet guide David meeting us at the dock and taking us by boat to Murano, to the time spent in the studio each making our own unique glass piece – every moment was incredible. Master Diego was wonderful and really great with our kids. It was definitely the highlight of our time in Venice. Do it, you will be glad you did!
