Murano/Burano boat trip - Nice private experience. Glass blowing was amazing. (Mind the sales pitch at the end!). Spent so much time there that the lace demo was rushed. Very affordable for private and Davies’s boat is very nice.

Glass Factory Demonstration and Tour - This experience surpassed our expectations! Davide was wonderful to work and very accommodating to our situation with two young kids. It was so amazing to watch the glass artists do their work. Giulia was very informative, kind and great with the kids. Everyone we came in contact with was so kind and genuine! 10/10 experience, thank you!

Our family highlight in Venice - Excellent experience watching the famous artisan team doing their craft which has been ongoing for a thousand years. You get understand the mastery involved in making these beautiful pieces of art and why they are so desired throughout the world. This is a family business, we met the parents Luciano and Gabriella and their son Manuel who has taken over the business. Daniel gave us a wonderful tour of the glass blowing and their gallery all topped off with a glass of persecco. Very intimate and perfect for small groups. David the tour director sent over his personal boat to pick us up. If your looking for a very personal experience instead of a large group experience on a huge boat this is it. Take this tour it was our highlight in Venice!

Be careful. - Get all the information. We were picked up at our hotel. But left at the dock when we got back. We had a mile and a half walk back to our hotel. My husband fell getting into the boat in the canal. He broke his hand. The Victor person saw it happen, but didn’t offer any support. He hopped out of the boat and just left.

Did not receive service - After booking the operator changed the pick up location to almost 3km away in walking Venice. I have a disability and walk with a cane. We replied saying we could not walk that far to new pick up location and asked to cancel and refund. We received a rude and dismissive response . No refund of $130 eu and a mouthy unprofessional response from the provider. We will be seeking a refund from PayPal
