Excellent tour - Mrs Eleonora was an excellent guide. She took the right amount of time at each activity. The glass blowing demonstration was so cool that we bought the piece that was being made. Highly recommend this tour if you are interested in the art of Murano glass blowing.

Glass blowing tour - Our guide was well informed and personable. Clementina made our experience memorable. Our guide Fabio in the factory to view glass blowing was outstanding. We received a fantastic history lesson and tour. Highly recommend.

Get Blown Away! - What a fabulous way to experience glass blowing and sculpting! We were met at our hotel by Julia who shared very interesting information about Venice and glass blowing since she is a native Venetian. She took us to a private taxi and escorted us to Murano to the Artistic Glassworks Colleoni. We watched a glass blowing and glass sculpting demonstration and then visited their beautiful store. It was an amazing experience and if you watch Blown Away on Netflix you will want to visit here. It is an excellent tour.

Great experience if time is tight - This was a great activity to experience the glass blowing artistry in Murano without taking up a whole day if you have limited time in Venice (every other Murano tour was 4.5+ hours, this one is closer to 2 hours). You also get a significant discount in the shop!

Murano Boat Tour - Private water taxi ride was wonderful and allowed for time to gather important details on Murano. Glass blowing demonstration was fabulous, and our tour guide, Roberto, was outstanding and very informative. He also assisted us with very helpful logistics following the tour. Terrific guide!!

So so excellent Murano but the guide was not good - murano’s know how is definitely something to see BUT certainly not with this tour . I had read some negative feedbacks but i still wanted to give a try. At the end the guide was somehow not involved , had a so-so attitude . This tour is quite expensive for the level of guidance we received. For the glass visit , the owner is definitely a fantastic guide within the manufacture . The rest was reallly not the expectation versus the price we paid .

Worst experience ever - Absolute scam. 3 mins watching a glass blower then 30 mins being pressured into buying things. Had to walk 20 mins for “hotel” pick up in the rain. Do not use this company. Absolute rip off and a blight on Venice

Not worth the money - Very poor experience… A glass blowing was very small, not informative at all and they’re really was nothing to the tour. Don’t waste your time.

DONT DO IT - Unfortunately, we do not recommend this tour AT ALL! It is purely a sales pitch and not a tour at all. You pay for a private water taxi to Murano when you can go on the vaporetto for so much less. We got a 10 min glass blowing demo and a hard sales pitch. When we didn’t buy, they said the tour was over. It was less than 60 including boat ride. Unethical, we DO NOT recommend. If I could get my Money back I would!! Very disappointed
