A Hands-On Taste of Murano’s Magic - We had an amazing time taking the glassmaking class and watching the master at work — the skill and technique were truly impressive! Marco was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and very funny. We can’t wait to enjoy our new glasses at home, preferably with a Marco-rita, (Margarita) as he would say. Thank you for such a memorable and fun experience!

Unmissable experience in Murano - During a trip to Venice we booked the experience in the glassworks of Gino Mazzuccato with the demonstration of the master and blowing. The demonstration was really interesting, exciting to see how real art objects are created and surprising the ease with which the master creates. One of the guys on staff also described step by step what the teacher was doing translating into English, French and Spanish. Blowing is one more experience that I would recommend to make the visit even more unique and to “test yourself”. A nice ride in the show room is a must to choose a souvenir to take home

Lovely activity in Murano - Was short but sweet and watching the master at his work was amazing. He made a horse by pulling molten glass with tweezers, I couldn’t do that with clay. Kids were also allowed to blow glass under supervision and they loved it.

Poor marketing oriented - I went with my two kids, the explanation was very poor, with lack of love to the field and very marketing oriented. There was no spirit to the tour and even my kids which are usually very enthusiastic about art demonstrations were waiting to get out of there. I regret not going to see the demonstration in the glass museum, I'm guessing this would have been a more authentic experience, as strange as it may seem.

Not worth the money - It was cool to watch the master glass blower. However, every time I’ve taken a glass blowing class, I was able to make something to take home. This class was literally just a chance to blow once in a tube. It wasn’t worth the money.

Short and not sweet - It was a short demonstration how objects were made. Even shorter participation to blow glass for maybe a minute only to break it into a basket. Big pressure to purchase their merchandise. Feel this was over priced for this excursion

Horrific. Do not spend money on this, it’s a total scam. - This is awful. Complete scam, do not waste your money. High pressured and intimidating sales people, no glass blowing at all, and they wouldn’t take us home - the tour says it will drop you back in Venice - they left us stranded to make our own way back. Literally horrific experience.
