Best part of our trip! - We loved this tour/activity so much!! From the second we were greeted by our guide to the private water taxi to the warmth and kindness from the glass makers, it was a 10/10 every step of the way. Everyone in our family said this was the best part of the trip! Highly recommend!

This is a great activity... - This is a great activity for kids of all ages. We didn’t get much history about the glass making and the taxi ride back dropped us off at a different location. Otherwise it was really interesting and we enjoyed the glass museum and looking at all of the different designs of glass.

Great demo and workshop in Murano. - Easy to find meeting location. Giovanni was courteous and messaged me on What’s App the morning of, which was appreciated. My family and I enjoyed the demonstration, and the workshop. I made myself some earrings. After some shopping we had some free time before returning to the main land. It’s great, short trip to see what Murano is known for. And on the way back it was so clear we could see the Swiss Alps.

Very interesting - Odd place to meet up, but very much enjoyed watching skilled men make a vase by blowing and then a horse using pincers to pull at the molten glass

Great maestro but oversell of the activity - It was overrated. Watching the maestro blow glass and make an animal was beyond amazing. However it costs 10 eu. At the door. The rest was for the trip (Vapporettos cost 17eu, both ways) and the workshop activity was below par. Maybe you would get a 15-29 eu earring out of it.

Very Disappointing - Very disappointing.. Demo was less than 15 minutes, and your own glass making was a small cardboard square that you glued on broken glass or made a child’s bead bracelet. Sales pressure was strong and gallery was disarrayed.
