Gian was a fab tour guide, a bespoke personal tour with small numbers that provided insight into the history of Venice and Murano. Beautiful showroom after seeing the glass blowing with gorgeous wares if you are looking to purchase and at reasonable prices with a discount if you are on the tour.

Anna_W

Was actually shocked at the quality of the tour. The guide was personable, spent a lot of time with us, was knowledgeable and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Water taxi was a very nice plus.

Felicia_Y

Nothing good, bad experience with more of scanning feel, not what is expected. Is a total waste of time n money. Never choose this tour. Payment on the goods no tax refund n no receipt.

This was a great experience and the glass blowing was amazing! Our guide Jon-Luc was extremely knowledgeable and impressive.

Katie_S

Loved our tour guide who met us at our hotel and arranged for high quality water taxi to Murano. Very interesting glass making exhibition, then bought glasses after walking around the beautiful gallery connected to the factory. Our guide then walked us around the island showing us local sites. Exceptionally charming place and people. Our guide then hailed another water taxi. 2.5 hours total- perfect length! Highly recommend.

Very nice tour. Our guide met us at our hotel so very easy experience. The Murano glass is just beautiful and worth seeing.

Kathleen_A

Wonderful experience! Mrs Selena was an excellent guide. (The hotel pick up is a nice feature.) She gave us an informal tour of the Grand Canal on our way to Murano. The glass factory was very interesting and we purchased some beautiful pieces to ship home.

Donald_P

Our tour guide, Federico, was great! He picked us up at our hotel and brought us to the boat to Murano, where he showed us the Basilica and the glass blowing factory. He knew a lot of history of Venice, which he shared with us. During the tour of the glass factory we were treated to a demonstration. What a great adventure!

Debbie_P

Instructions on where to meet was very clear, we kept in contact for any updates, our guide was very knowledgeable and very welcoming. The tour around Murano was lovely, the glass blowing demonstration was short but interesting, lots to see after walking through the on site shop, items are not cheap but that's to be expected with all the craftsmanship that goes into making these items. You can pick up a set of 6 coloured tall tumblers for around €280, which is cheap compared to some other sets on sale of (€1500)
