Experience of a lifetime - Yes it is an expensive experience, but where else would you actually get to make glass yourself and in Murano the top place worldwide for glassmaking ! On all the other tours you watch people make the glass. Not this one! This one you make 2 drinking glasses and get to keep them. Daniel our guide/interpreter and the 2 expert glass blowers made the experience out of this world. We were involved with every step and you can see why it takes 12 years to train. They made it truly special. In March on a wet and rainy day the temperature of the workshop was fine, I worked the glass while still wearing a cashmere cardigan! My advice is to do the experience at the beginning of your stay. The glasses take at-least 24 hours to cool in the annealing oven. If, like us, you leave Venice before you can collect them, they can be posted to you for an extra charge. In our case €95 to the UK.

Personalized hands on Marano glass making tour - Incredible experience. David was an amazing guide who was very friendly and entertaining. Picked us up directly from our hotel in his boat and took us to Murano. Visited a family run glass factory that makes chandeliers. Had a hands-on experience in the glassmaking process and were able to take home souvenirs. Would highly recommend David and the tour!

So unique! - Such a unique experience to be in a private workshop seeing the masters at work. It was even cooler to try it out ourselves!

A bucket list must for your inner artist!! - Oh my goodness!!! I loved it with all my heart! Grazie to you and Giulia and Franco and Danielle!! Amazing once in a lifetime experience I will never forget. Anyone that I speak with in the future that may be coming to Venice to get the glass blowing experience MUST book with you!! Franco was so patient and knowledgeable and Danielle was the perfect helper!! I wish I had a million dollars I would have bought everything in the gallery and I would gladly work for free to learn the craft. What you do is truly art and so beautiful and there are not enough words to say how appreciative I am for you to allow me in to your private workspace and watch your process. And Giulia is now my best friend in Venice!! She was so wonderful, friendly and socialable.. you couldn’t have picked a better person to guide the tours! 😚🤌🏻

Great experience - We had a wonderful time. Organized very well by Davide, he took the time to discuss what we were looking for and arrange it accordingly. We had a lot of fun making and briefly blowing the glass. Everyone involved were super nice and helpful. Highly recommended.

Glass blowing with true Murano masters! - The glass blowing experience with true murano masters was, hands on, accessible and good for all ages! We now have our own unique, handmade tumblers that are precious to us and new family heirlooms! Davide shared interesting local knowledge and his close relationship with everyone we met added depth and fun to the experience. We started as strangers and left feeling like family!

Amazing experience in Venice! - David was amazing! So accommodating - he made the whole experience just wonderful. He arranged the private glass blowing tour in the island of Murano and was available to make customized upgrades and additions. Highly recommend!

Very private experience - This is truly a private experience so if that's your vibe and it's within your budget, I would recommend. The glass blowing workshop part is quick and mostly done by the master to ensure you end up with a drinking vessel but then you get a private tour and shopping time. Everyone was very friendly!
