When we arrived we had the chance to do a VR experience showing us some history of Venice whilst we waited which was ok. We had to walk for 5 minutes to get to the glass blowing location and when we got inside we watched a 5 minute demonstration of a man making a vase and a small horse. Even though the guide said he had to speak in English or Italian he proceeded to speak German and French too and did not explain how the glass was made at all. We were then guided into a shop which was extremely expensive. I would have liked to have learnt about how the glass is made rather than just some guy saying ooh look he's making a blue vase, or a small horse. On our ticket it says we would get a small gift. When I asked the guy laughed and said there is no gift sorry, that is wrong.

The demo is very short. It is an opportunity for the glass company to sell to you but it wasn’t a hard sell situation. It was informative and we were glad we did it since we didn’t have time to go to Murano Island.

Since we were unable to go to Murano, this tour was perfect to see how Murano glass products are made.

I thought it was awesome! Such a cool intro to glassblowing. I thought in the info about it it said we would get a tiny glassblown gift, but I must have been mistaken.

Having traveled to Murano for a tour in the past, I felt it was not necessary to make that trip again on this trip, even though I wanted my family to experience the glass blowing process. Going to the local showroom in Venice, we were able to skip the lines, experience the glass blowing, and have the opportunity to see all of the designs. Well worth the time and investment.
