Claudia our guide was terrific. She had the added credibility of being from Venice and having a father and grandfather who owned a glass blowing factory.

The tour was disappointing. Although it was a small group, we couldn't hear much of what the tour leader said. It would have been better if she (Claudia) had a microphone and we had been provided with ear buds. The worst part was that when we arrived at the factory, we were ushered in to a demonstration in English that was almost over. A Portuguese speaking group then entered, and we sat through a demo in Portuguese. Then our English speaking guide tried to tell us that we were finished, but we insisted that we had paid for a tour in English, so he reluctantly agreed to provide it. Would not recommend this tour.

Was really just a sales pitch to get visitors to buy glass. The most interesting part of the experience, the actual glass blowing demo was only a few brief minutes. Definitely could have skipped this one. The tour guide was super nice and knowledgeable so kudos to her but overall a waste of money.

Since we had to wait 45 minutes to get the water taxi situation straightened out, I couldn't give a five-star rating. Our guide, however, was really great. Very informative, easy to understand and flexible when it came to what we wanted to do on our tour. He made the walking part of the tour very easy. We had seven in our group so it was small. Since we had to wait so long at the beginning, he added that time on at the end. Watching the glassblower in action was very interesting and it showed he was very skilled in the art. It is a touristy area so our guide gave us time to shop.

Marco was excellent. Everything was set up and ready to go when we arrived. He was very accommodating and patient as we moved thru the wines. We ended up shipping a dozen bottles home. ~~Debbie Talaska and Chelsea ( mother and daughter)
