Authentic and highly recommended experience! - We took part in this glassblowing experience in Murano and it was truly amazing. From the private boat pick-up, we immediately felt well taken care of and accompanied in a very professional way. Once at the glass factory, we had the chance to watch the artisans at work up close. Seeing a glass masterpiece being created live is fascinating and truly unique. The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, explaining every step of the process clearly and engagingly. The visit to the gallery at the end was a great added value, with beautiful and authentic pieces on display. This is a genuine experience, far from the typical “touristy” activities, and it really lets you discover a historic Venetian tradition. Excellent value for money. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Venice who wants to enjoy something special and different!

Truly magical - It was truly an exceptional experience. Thanks to Silvia, and her local knowledge, she educated the group as she guided us through the islands. We even got to wander around and explore on our own before regrouping. She kindly shared an itinirary afterwards of some places that she'd recommend, something I never would have known by doing research. It was my first time visiting Venice, and going solo travelling. I truly fell in love with the city and this experience is something I would 100% recommend.

Superbo murano - My daughter and I had a truly joyful and safe experience. Watching the glass blowing was a delight and our own boat trip to and from Murano was incredibly exciting. We’re so grateful to everyone involved.

Discover amazing Murano glass factory by wooden boat! - Incredible experience beginning with wooden boat transport to Murano. We were greeted by the wonderful Giulia who took us to see the glass blowing demonstration which was amazing! We then saw how the glass pieces were finished and cut. Afterward were shown many finished pieces of various sizes and shapes. All so incredible! We purchased a set of glasses and during our purchase met with the owner and original glass artist. He was extremely friendly and kind and visited with us for a short time. Giulia was especially friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She made us feel welcome and very much at home during our experience. Absolutely would highly recommend to anyone visiting Venice to take this wonderful tour!

Best experience in Venice! - Best experience with David! He was exceptionally accommodating, customized the private glass blowing tour in Murano to fit our needs, offered other options as well but they were not possible due to weather. Highly recommend the glass blowing tour! We got to make our own glasses and learned so much about this factory and this industry. Highly recommend the whole experience!

Great experience! - It was really neat! You can tell these people are master craftsman. In probably about 10 minutes they created a beautiful vase with incredible precision. Their showroom is beautiful and they have glass work that you can purchase. I was definitely tempted to buy some of the nicer stuff because they ship it but we did leave with a few other smaller pieces. I should note that I brought my four children. The teenagers didn't concern me but having a 9-year-old and a 7 year old made me nervous in the showroom but they did just fine and you can tell they're used to having families attend

Beautiful wooden boat transport to amazing Murano Glass factory - Davide immediately contacted me after I booked the trip and made sure to have someone come to our hotel pick us up to meet the beautiful wooden boat that took us to the Murano factory on Murano island. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lovely Giulia. She brought us into the factory where we were first treated to a demonstration of how the Murano glass is blown and crafted... fascinating! We were then shown 3 showrooms of amazing artwork by the various glass artists whose work is sold through the business. The entire time we were treated with so much respect and courtesy but also had lots of fun with our guide! She made us feel right at home and we had a fantastic time with her. We were also fortunate enough to meet the original artist and craftsman of this Murano factory. He was very friendly and generous with us! It was an unforgettable experience and we will treasure the memories of this day for a long time.

Great pick up and tour - Great experience and efficient pick up well organised. We went off peak so were the only couple in the tour group meaning the guide was very invested in us, good knowledge and well looked after.
