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.

Luca was a fantastic guide. We enjoyed the wonderful insights and history he shared. He was one of the best guides we have had on any trip. The Murano glass factory and Burano Lace tour were amazing. we highly recommend any tour he can provide and cant wait until our next trip back to Venice!!

Natasha was our guide and she met us by the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II in San Marco. She was very friendly and informative, teaching us about Venice as we took a Water Taxi to Murano. Once at the glass factory we met with one of the liaisons who introduced us to the master glass maker and we witnessed him working on a piece for a beautiful chandelier. Another artisan created a horse from a glob of molten glass. It was an amazing transformation as it went from a glowing orange mass and within two minutes it was a beautiful horse. Afterwards we were taken around the showroom to see all the amazing glass creations. At the end of the tour we were able to shop the gift shop. On the way back to Venice, Natasha told us about other parts of Venice and gave us restaurants and sites to check out. Overall a great personal tour and a nice way to see one of the Murano glass factories.

this experience was really special! My whole family enjoyed this very much. The glass master even blew a glass vase right in front of us, and another one made a glass horse on the spot in less than a minute, i’ve never seen something like this before! it was exceptional. Everything was handmade exactly as it used to decades ago. Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable, and we visited the glass factory in a really comfortable private boat. I highly recommend this tour.

In early February we took a trip to Venice with my sister Susan to finally see a city we hadn't visited for a long time and it was an opportunity to dust off some memories of our childhood. Our local guide, Mr. Merlo, was immediately extremely kind, attentive, very friendly and very informative. Authentic Murano which was warmly recommended to us by friends was exactly the experience we needed, because we had read various information on Murano but each book gives different and not always detailed descriptions, so we were very curious. It was a tour that gave us so many emotions. A splendid, elegant boat came to pick us up at the hotel and with our guide Merlo we set off towards Murano. The route from the hotel to the island was short but enriched with very interesting historical information which allowed us to receive a nice historical introduction. Upon arrival at the Vetreria New Murano Gallery we were welcomed by Mr. Francesco the director, an extraordinary person to say the least, extremely warm. Our visit was particularly exciting because we were able to see and touch with our hands aspects regarding the history of glass, learn about and observe the different materials and tools of the trade but above all we were made participants in the creation of a work of art crafted moment, using a thousand-year-old technique; we were really happy because the master blower was very kind to us and very approachable. Visiting the New Murano Gallery glass factory allowed us to learn extremely curious historical aspects of a tradition that still continues today and for which years and years of experience with glass are required. In the end we even made some purchases like a chandelier and what a chandelier! We got it as a special gift for a dear friend of ours Sallivan who lives in Chicago and who is getting married soon. We believe that he will not believe his eyes ehe... upon seeing this splendor. This gift of ours will give a touch of class to his living room. Visiting the New Murano Gallery glass factory and getting to know the island of Murano accompanied by guide Merlo, a native of Venice, gave me and my sister immense pleasure, an intense and exciting experience that I warmly recommend to everyone!!!!

This tour is amazing, the guide picked us up directly at our hotel. The boat was already waiting for us and took us to one of the glassfactory. There we had the chance to admire the equipe of masters blowing the glass. It was stunning! We had the chance then to see the beautiful showroom with all the glass masterpieces. It was an incredible experience.

Watching the skill of the Master glass blower was one of a kind experience. The guide in the glass factory was brilliant, he gave us a explanatory narration throughout the procedure that was very helpful and gave us such an appreciation for the work that goes into each piece. Then we were given a tour of the gallery. OMG!! Dozens of rooms with stunning works of art, and all available for purchase! The staff and family at the factory were friendly and welcoming, they did not rush you and did not push the sales in showroom. So well worth the ride to the glass factory and back on a fancy private boat! What an absolute highlight of our trip!

Stunning Experience for my Family and I !! We have been here in Murano Island just for a Day and we are glad,that we chose this amazing experience. We had a truly nice welcoming at the factory and our guide explained everything about the glassblowing from the beginning until the end. Is incredibile how from a little Glass-ball connected to an iron pipe, is able to become in a few minutes a Stunning sculture, glasses , chandeliers arms !! Crazy !! They have such wonderful skills that is such a shame thinking that one day everything could disappear because no young generation wants to take care of it. I suggest this type of experience if u have kids, is gonna be funny and relaxing for everyone !!

Georgia was a fabulous guide. She informed of the background information about Venice and Murano. The glass tour was quicker than the two hours so she gave us a bit more info around San Marco square.

Barbara_L

Two hour tour. The guide that pick us up in San Marco was very good. Very informative. Went to murano. Saw about 15 minutes of glass blowing. Got to look at all the stuff they had for sale. We were done and back in San Marco in an hour. Seemed like we paid a good amount of money for a sales pitch
