Dedicated glass artists at work - We booked the one-hour guided tour. Although you can watch in this glass workshop for free (for a voluntary donation) - which we did not know - but the tour was really worth it. We were traveling in a group of four and Marco took a good hour. He also showed us the otherwise invisible rooms, for example with the furnaces, where the colorful glass is melted and tells us a lot about the production and the philosophy of the young company. People work here, including many women, who believe in the future of the craft and want to continue it in a modern, sustainable way. To experience the glass blowing up close, even the extreme heat coming out of the furnaces, was impressive. The pace, routine and teamwork with which they work here also made a lasting impression. Recommend Zi!

Definitely worth it! - Absolutely worth the voyage and the price. The tour lead was awesome, and answered all of my questions precisely and informed us of every little step during the process. It was such an awesome treat to be on the furnace floor and having the glass makers make such beautiful art only meters away from us. For a “younger” glass factory, they really have their stuff together! High profile clients, very friendly and professional team members, well organized furnace workplace, beautiful showroom (let the guide turn off the lights for a wonderful surprise) and a modern shop with beautiful pieces. It really was the highlight of my Venice trip.

Amazing tour! - Excellent tour! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We walked around the factory to see all the various stages of the creation of glass to the designing of a piece. My children enjoyed the tour as it was fun, engaging, and hands on. Great value. Highly recommend!

A great family visit - An excellent visit, Marco took the time to explain the whole process. He answered our questions and we saw the work of the workers. In the end 1h30 visit instead of 1h originally planned. I highly recommend. Our kids loved it. Attention, explanation in English but it did not bother us

Loved the tour - learnt so much and got so close! - We loved the factory tour and now understand the whole process of how glass is made, not only how the glass is blown - which is about all you see when you watch the free demonstration. Our girls loved the tour too and have learnt so much, we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone considering one. Our guide was very kind and thoughtful too and always made sure that we could all see.
