MS Traveler - Watching the glass blowers was fascinating. Beautiful showrooms. Would have liked to see the lesser expensive work along with big showrooms. Did enjoy making bracelets.

Well worth it!! - Our 1st guide was very knowledgeable. The boat ride was fun. They do push a bit to sell in the gift shop.

Great history of generational families making Murano glass - From our guide that took us to the glass factory to the guide explaining the making of the Murano glass was wonderful! Love hearing the history of family generations of making glass and watching how they make it. We watched the making of flower pieces that will be going onto a chandelier… Beautiful!

Fascinating - The glass blowing itself was fascinating but it was a bit hard to hear the guide. The items for sale were quite expensive.

Loved watching the master craftsman at work - It was amazing watching the masters at work and how they created a plate and a vase. Stunning work. Enjoyed making a keychain from Murano beads. The shop is stunning. Our Guide is very passionate about Murano glass and its heritage, he was very knowledgeable and ready to answer questions.

Glass Treats - We had an excellent visit to the factory and enjoyed our 'workshop'. My granddaughter made a bracelet to show off and I managed a very unartistic wall hanging.

Worth the trip - We had a private boat out to the island of Murano, a gentleman picked us up right at the dock and brought us right to the factory, which was maybe a half a block away. It was right on the main street. It was so fun to see the artist, making his creations. The only part we didn’t like was that they took us through their showroom afterwards and really wanted us to buy some thing but we were firm and saying not today and they were OK with that. We would recommend this tour.

Not the best experience - The tour guide was extremely rude. We got lost trying to meet up with her and she was rude to us for getting lost. The actual tour was okay but not worth the mo way to sit and watch someone make one glass and a horse. When "creating" your own bracelet, the beads looked like something bought at a craft store. It is basically a come buy the beautiful art we create.
