Must do experience! - Great trip. Our guide CLAUDIA ZENNARO was fantastic.
The Murano glass factory tour was short but sweet. The Island of Burano was beautiful with lots of shops to buy much cheaper Murano glass souvenirs than at the factory. Lovely bakery and cafe next door with really good pizza, coffee and tirimisu.

Look at us and the glass blown art - It was a nice walk, we got off in Murano being able to know how artisans work glass at high temperatures molding and creating artwork.
We continue the adventure in Burano and Torcello.
A wonderful day!!!

AFTERNOONS TO REMEMBER! - BELLO BELLO BELLO!
I have to say everything very well organized for us, group of 6 friends, we arrive at the meeting point where we find Massimiliano, a very nice and polite boy who accompanies us to the boat. So we leave for Murano, along the canals we see a lot of places that otherwise we would not have seen and the taxi driver very kindly explained everything.
Then we arrive at the glassworks where we were greeted by one of the glassworks guides, we first saw the demonstration of a master glassmaker, they explained the various blowing techniques, how the ovens work and many things, then our guide took us to see the various works, one more beautiful than the other!
Very very satisfied

Murano glass-blowing experience - Visiting Murano and witnessing the art of glassblowing is an unforgettable experience.
The process is explained with great clarity, showing how sand, fire, and breath come together to form intricate sculptures, or dazzling chandeliers. What impressed me most was the effortless skill: within minutes, a shapeless glowing mass became a perfectly formed piece of art. It’s a craft that feels alive, passed down through generations since the Republic of Venice protected these secrets by keeping glassmakers on Murano.
This experience is remarkable : it’s about stepping into history, watching a living heritage unfold before your eyes. Murano glassblowing is one of the highlights of Venice—an encounter with artistry that can’t be replicated anywhere else.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Venice.
