perfect afternoon in murano - Great experience. Length of the demonstration was perfect, demonstrating multiple techniques for variety of pieces. Our group of 7 ranged in age from 24-59, it was a great way yo spend an afternoon on a short venice segment of longer Italy adventure. we were not pressured to purchase and did find some trinkets in the shop and appreciated the discount included in ticket price ( no minimum purchase to apply the discount).

Affordable short tour - Short but interesting tour. Obviously they’d like you to purchase the very beautiful but also very expensive pieces of glass, but the €10 per person credit in the shop is nice for buying a little trinket.

100% worth it! - We were lucky enough to have a private show, my fiancé and I.
Fabio was very informative and happy to answer any and every question we had about the glass making process.
He and his team were obviously passionate about the craft and made our trip to Murano very much worth it and one of our highlights of our trip to Venice.
100% would recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the interesting world of glass making.
Fabio did recommend we visit during the week to get a more real sense of the work (we came on a Saturday).
Enjoyed every second of it!

Fantastic tour experience - Our guide was very informative and engaging while he described what the masters were doing during the glass blowing demonstration. Emilio helped us select some pieces to ship back to Australia and was extremely easy to do business with.

Awesome - We had so much fun visiting Morano and the glass factory. Many of the stores in Venice sell the Murano glass but the prices at the factory were so much better. It was an amazing experience.

Worth to watch. - Nice experience. I would recommend to other people. We got discount too in the shop.
The guide who presented and the guys who showed the glass blowing should pay more attention to tourists and not talked to each other during the presentation. It seems like another working day for them. They were not very enthusiastic.

Just ok tour - Very short demonstration, not really worth the time. Whole thing was probably 20 minutes max in time. Then ushered into shop to hopefully buy some expensive pieces. Just skip this tour.

VISIT - Visit 5E per person to see 10min of activity. Too bad it was so short because it might be interesting to have more explanations. Explanations only in Italian... I don't necessarily recommend...

Disappointing - A succinct demonstration of glass work, we regret not seeing any blowing. When we could get close to see the oven, before we got there, we were pushed to the next room and left to ourselves in a large gallery of works, and it was over... The Awards for small souvenirs were very high for not extraordinary works. The shops next door were more interesting to do.
