The was vary good, just... - The was vary good, just as stated. The wood boat taxi ride short, but an experience that we were looking to include in our activities. The glass blowing demonstration is watching artists create. It was fascinating. Then you can view the gallery of the amazing work of glass artists. Artwork is available to purchase, but we got zero pressure to do so. Don’t expect anything else. Note that the meeting point is in front of a restaurant and allow yourself time to get a little lost. Maps walking directions are not great in Venice. You have to step down into and out of the boat from a dock. If you have mobility issues, this not a tour for you.

Good, professional tour of expert glass blowing - Pick up was from the fondamente nove to Murano. Very fast boat to Murano. My kids enjoyed the boat as much as the glass i think. It was a good tour. Very professional. And mostly private, there was only 1 other family while we were there. You enter the glass blowing factory, and sit in a small row of comfortable seats and observe at close proximity the glass blowers while they making custom pieces that they have been commissioned to make. At the end they may show you something short and dynamic like how they fashion a horse or other small object from the glass. We had plenty of time to watch the glassblowing. And then we also saw in detail how they finish the glass -- buffering, carving, packaging up chandeliers. Afterwards we went through 2 different galleries of extremely beautiful but expensive glassworks (most objects are gorgeous household decorative pieces, probably 1000-8000 Euro. Worth the money if you are looking for something that is one of a kind, but not good for kids shopping. They did give us 2 small paperweights they had blown previously for the kids. It We asked if we could wonder a bit down the canal of Murano and we had about 10 minutes to do that before taking the boat back. Wished we could have seen more of Murano but this is really a glass tour. I forgot to ask for prosecco, (be sure to ask if you want some), but we had cool water from blown glass while we watched the maestros work. Everyone left happy. If glass blowing is a priority for someone in your family and you only have an hour, this is a great up close and personal tour.

Great glassblowing trip - Really enjoyed the glass blowing tour. The boat driver was extremely friendly and prompt in responding to our questions via WhatsApp. Enjoyed seeing Venice and the surrounding islands by boat and hearing a little history along the way. The glass blowing demo and tour of the factory was fascinating. We just wish we had a little more time to explore Murano. We went with our family of 5 including 3 kids (21,18,16) and everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

Best glass blowing experience - It was amazing, the boat was on time and took us right to the glass blowing factory. The actual demonstration was private and beautiful, then we got to walk through the show rooms and see all of the master pieces. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I would definently recommend this experience.
