    Our second time of visiting Murano. This time it was a special water taxi from the hotel and we were treated specially on arrival - spencial chairs behind a rope dividing us from the paying public who sat on benches. We saw an ornament being blown (impressive) and some chandelire elements being produced. Then we had a tour of a show room. But there is no such thing as a free gift and it felt like a lot of pressure to buy something. We didn't in the end purchase here - we needed some air anyway so walked up the street - and we came across a similar piece by the same artist for considerably less money! We'd been to Murano before so knew about the special galleries upstairs. We love the art, the craftsmanship and have now bought good 3 pieces in Murano. We appreciate the taxi over to Murano but the prices here were just to rich for us. We advice shopping around.

    This was an excellent experience! First a quick boat ride straight to the shop, then a demonstration of the art. It was amazing to see a glass master at work! Deborah gave interesting details of the history of this art. Then on to see beautiful works of glass art. And in the shop we found many things in our budget. The staff wrapped our items with care and processed a tax refund. Great experience and wonderful hosts!

    The boat provided was very nice and there was two glass blowing demonstrations. Nice to have small numbers so you are not crowded.

    This was the most disappointing tour we have ever been on We we’re transferred from Venice in a taxi on arrival was rushed through a demo with our guide much more interested in his phone than us Then escorted to his gallery hoping for us to purchase super expensive pieces of glass work When guide realised we weren’t going to purchase he rushed us through to their shop then made us wait 2 hours for return taxi trip If I could give this no stars I would
