We want to thank Luca, who was an amazing guide! Murano is a beautiful island to visit for a few hours! Watching the talent of the glass artisans was simply amazing, then being able to create my own earrings in the workshop is something I will always remember! The glass show room was incredible to look at but the prices were very high for my financial options!

This was an amazing tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and pick up location easy to find. We purchase some amazing glass glasses at the gift shop.

Our guide Giovani made our day! The glass was beautiful and the pace of the tour leisurely. Very interesting demonstration.

Our guide was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the overall tour was unimpressive. I thought we would be taught more about Venice and the history behind the glass but it was barely touched on. The meeting point was hard to find, we got lost a few times , which also made this day very stressful. When we arrived at the glass factory we saw a quick demo about how they make a vase and horse but that was it. We then were put into a room with the option to do 2 lame projects that had nothing to do with glass blowing... a mosaic (for which you only had one option) or making jewelry. I could have done that anywhere. It felt like one big scam to get you to buy their costly glass. I would not recommend this specific tour.
