Once-in-a-lifetime experience with a great tour guide - Davide arranged a wonderful boat and tour with a once-in-a-lifetime glass blowing interactive experience. Davide gave us a tour of Venice and then took us to a glass factory in Murano. We got to see a master workshop and then all 4 of us were able to help make a glass piece. Unbelievable. We all loved it.

Exceptional Authentic Glassblowing Experience in Murano - This was a truly special experience. I’ve tried glass blowing before, but working alongside master craftsmen in their family workshop was something different entirely. Julia gave an excellent tour of the facility, explaining the artistry and tradition with clear passion for the craft. Watching the master glassblowers create pieces was captivating, and getting to work at the furnace myself was a highlight I won’t forget. Communication was seamless from booking through the visit, and the boat ride to Murano was beautiful. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the personal attention made this feel genuine and welcoming rather than just another tourist activity. If you’re looking for an authentic Murano glass blowing experience with skilled artisans who care about what they do, I highly recommend this tour.

You won’t regret this - If this is not on your bucket list, it should be. I have been fascinated by the art glass blowing for years so I knew I would enjoy this experience but I didn’t expect how much my family members who joined would also love it and they have never seen glass blowing before. This was the highlight of our whole Europe trip for everyone. I would love to go back and do it again.

Davide’s pick up was... - Davide’s pick up was seamless and accommodated our slight delay. Lovely ride down the grand canal (including surprise couples photos!) on our way to Murano - awesome. Upon arrival, greeted with warm smiles and immediately got down “to work”. I have been on such “glass blowing” tours before, but not really. This is not a demonstration or a visit to a factory or another Murano shop - the family explains the history, their process, and more. And YES you DO get to make your own piece (and even when I broke it the first time they patiently let me go again until I got it right). Great way to start our visit to Venice, Davide is even going to hand deliver our pieces to our hotel in a day or two once they cool (takes some time in the kiln the masters explained while we were there). Thank you Davide.

Blown away. - Our experience was sensational. The craftsman were masters and the boat ride/guides were top notch. If you have the time it’s well worth the cost.

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.
