Highlight of Venice for the Family

Caroline_S, 19-08-2022

Such a great experience. Simone picked us up just outside our Airbnb and escorted us to a water taxi to take to Murano. Our Master glass artist walked us through how the products were made and did a demo before assisting us making a few pieces. We basically got to pull glass (with his assistance), and blow 1 piece of glass (also with his guidance). Wish the class was a little longer and we were able to make a few more pieces, but nevertheless it was very cool and a highlight of our trip. There were a few tours that came by and got to see a demonstration behind the bar of the walkway, and I'm sure they were envious of us being able to participate. After the class, there was a tour of their store, and they did put pressure to purchase, but that is as expected. It was mentioned in the previous reviews, and this is their livelihood, so if you don't want to be bothered, I'd suggest you not go on a tour such as this. Host was informative, friendly and personable and would definitely recommend this as a unique and memorable experience.

More than just a tour, hands on glass making.

The tour was wonderful, the craft of fine art glass making was impressive and educational. My only suggestion is that the summary in the event indicated, take your own creation with you, and that would not be possible.

Once in a lifetime Murano glass experience!

An incredible experience from start to finish! We were met at our hotel by a wonderful guide who took us to a private water taxi in S. Marco. From there, we were taken to the glass factory where we were met by Tomasso, who was our private guide through the experience. After watching a short demo of the various glassmaking techniques, we were welcomed onto the factory floor to work with glass master Giovanni. The workshop was fun, informative, and incredibly unique. Everyone there stressed safety above all, yet made the whole experience fascinating and informative. As with all glass factories on Murano, the trip ended with a visit to their gallery where they do their best to upsell their art pieces. After some purchases, we were taken back to S. Marco via private boat, taking with us priceless memories.
