We made a beautiful discovery of Murano and the islands of the lagoon. The kids really loved the glass work, the relaxed atmosphere and tranquility of private transport and the little tips on where to have lunch in Murano. Thank you!

We returned to Venice with friends and opted for organized tours. Our choice fell on this visit to Murano. It gave us a great opportunity to explore Murano with a local guide, and we enjoyed shopping . A beautiful visit!

For our visit we asked to see an alternative Venice. Given our limited time, we were offered a visit to craftsmanship, glass and fabrics. We appreciated the skill of these craftsmen. Thanks again to our guide for the perfect organization.

Private taxi boat to the island with Fiorella. We were able to watch the craftsman make the glass. The gallery had beautiful pieces to view and buy. Private taxi back to our hotel. Everything went on time and great communication with our guide.

The private boat trip was excellent with a lot of information and the guide was very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the glass work and the glass factory. After the visit in the glass factory we did a nice small tour on the island of Murano.

This “tour” was simply a ploy to take us through a glass show room and hard sell us some glass that we didn’t want to buy. The guide, Fiorolla, was actually quite knowledgeable and thankfully did give us some history of the glass trade on the way over and showed us some churches on the island (we had time because we didn’t want to buy any glass).

The glass blowing demonstration lasted about 7 minutes and the rest of the time was a saleswoman hard selling us her company’s glass. The piece she most wanted to sell me was 22,000 Euros!

This isn’t a tour. It’s a commercial. Might as well have been for a time share.

Great Murano gallery visit. Short explanation of glass making, but mostly a shopping trip. Our guide was clearly knowledgeable but had little opportunity to impart any knowledge. We bought some lovely Murano glass and the selection was at least 20x larger than any shop in mainland Venice. Pick up from hotel was great but drop off wasn’t at the hotel, which was disappointing. You can get free boat transfers to and from Murano with a factory visit organized by many hotels so I don’t think the guided tour was good value. Guide was lovely, but I am not sure a guide adds much value on a shopping trip.
