The tour guide was friendly and helpful—as were the boat drivers. The staff at the glass factory were also great. The only thing that I would want someone to know is that there is a fairly hard sell at the factory to get you to purchase their products. Everything was of the highest quality—I just was not expecting the big sales push at this type of event (“tour”).

"Guide" met us at the gathering place and sent us off unescorted to the factory on a water taxi. Were met there and did receive "watching Master make a pitcher" and "info about glassmaking" and "tour of their showroom" but when we weren't going to buy any of the expensive merchandise the "tour was over" and we were sent back alone to Venice on a water taxi. Felt more like sales pitch than historical/informational tour.

Great tour and wonderful host! Luka was super friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable! There were six of us in the group from two seniors to a teen and a ten year old and all enjoyed the tour. We toured the Schiavon Art Gallery and Factory and got to meet the master himself, Massimiliano which was a treat.

Saw making of several glass vases and objects in the factory. Great experience to see the craftsmanship and artistic skills of glass artists. Visited showroom with beautiful finished products costing up to thousands of dollars euros, but no pressure to buy.
