Unique experience - I loved the visit. You can see the mixture of various colors and the glass go transforming, including with blowing. Do not fail to climb the second floor and see the chandeliers that are similar to many European palaces of kings and queens.

Great little excursion which my son enjoyed too. On a nice canal for food after. - The only event in Venice my child said this is really good thanks mum! He’s 12. The demonstration was really interesting and we got upfront and close. It was the perfect length to captivate the old and the young! Lovely area fir done found by the canal after too.

Mesmerising and beautiful - Mesmerising! The demonstration was so impressive - he made 3 pieces in the time, and it was truly a remarkable experience to watch a master craftsman. No pressuring sales pitch either which apparently some of them do.

A stellar attraction. - The church interior and display items were breathtaking, the works on sale were equally beautiful. The event was amazing, keeping our attention for the whole time and leaving us almost unable and unwilling to look away. A truly great experience.

Beautiful show - Arrived a little before the start of the show we could visit the beautiful church and especially the floor. Then 30 minutes of blowing different objects. Very captivating. Prices seem very variable... for us it was 10€/pers

Beautiful cathedral... - Beautiful cathedral building and a great demonstration - highly recommend this visit if you are in Venice/Murano. The glass artist is extremely talented and kindly let us take photos with his tools after the demonstration. The audio description about the history of glass work was also interesting (in both Italian and English)

It was a good time to see the demonstration. - The demonstration will be held at what used to be an association. It was hard to tell where it was, and I was lost, partly because it was the first tour in the morning. Since it is one street away, it will be displayed next to the street on Google Map. The demonstration staff were very good. You could see part of the way the glass was made.

Don’t waste your money. - The glass blower definitely had an attitude of I don’t want to do this. He made items and very quickly, threw them back in the oven to melt. He didn’t engage with the audience at all. I would put it on the “dud” list of activities. The cathedral itself was cool to look at, but you don’t need a ticket for that. They did share a recording with the history while the glass blower was making stuff. They just failed to engage with the audience. There are other glass blowers that are better.
