What to do - Short but very pleasant visit, the guide explains well and we are impressed by the agility of the master glassmakers. The price of the visit is to be used in the form of vouchers in the shop.

Amazing to watch the... - Amazing to watch the artisans create such beautiful crafts. Truly beautiful to watch. Yes, they do want you to purchase items, but you do get credit for the cost of the tour

Skilled Artisans Create Works of Art - It was an amazing demonstration in which two expert glass makers created two objects - a round vase and a horse which at fist appeared to be nothing more than a round glob of molten rock, but after several minutes of heating, reheating, and shaping, the objects were created. There were also colors infused into the final product which was quite extraordinary to see its development. The demonstration itself lasted only 30 minutes and then guests were escorted into a showroom where 4 - 5 rooms of glass objects were displayed and for sale. Some were quite large and intricate. The company offered world wide shipping around the world. The 10 euro admission fee was applied toward a purchase. I would recommend this tour. Since I was staying at a near by hotel, it was a short 10 minute walk to the factory.

Best Hidden Gem in all Venice! - At first I thought I was lost because I was passing other studios but just keep going and you'll find it inside a small courtyard. Fabulous place and fabulous people! I have previous experience with glass blowing and I loved this experience! And the chance to shop their factory after was amazing! Incredibile pieces!

Murano, inoubliable.. - The island of Murano, absolutely fantastic, a place to visit without doubt.
The boat trip is a very good time, the passage between Venice and the island of murano.
The factory is also well worth visiting. However, we felt a bit of force for the purchase of murano lenses.

Glass demonstration - Very interesting/fun to see glass pieces being made. I thought there could have been more explanation of the history of glass making and the techniques used to make different things.

Short and sweet - The island is gorgeous to look at and walk around. The glass store offers a variety of items, all beautiful. The demonstration was very interesting, and the showcase was full of amazing sculptures. It was however, shorter than I expected. I planned time around this activity and had plenty of time to explore the surrounding area. Still recommend this activity.

We were allowed to... - We were allowed to schedule the tour, when in fact the factory was not open for a tour - so we made payment without receiving services.

Misleading information, but interesting information - Total demonstration time was 7mins, after which you walk through a long gift shops of created pieces which you have likely seen all of Venice
No free souvenir as described
Learnt nothing, just saw two pieces being made
