      Workshop was good and the artist very nice. We got a beautiful mask out of it. I personally would rate the workshop too pricey though for 50 mins, a bit of painting on our own and the artist making a 5 min beautiful finish. The shop itself is great though and I can recommend to go there.

      Alessandra was our tour guide and she was FANTASTIC. There are many surprises on this tour which I won't spoil as it was amazing to find out things along the way. There is more walking involved than we thought but we did not mind. You learn more history about Venice this way! The surprises were a very good bonus as we did not expect the tour package that we received at all! Alessandro was very good at navigating the streets of Venice during carnivale and she is such a happy and friendly person! Would recommend this tour to everyone going during Carnivale!

      Amazing experience. Thanks a lot Alexandra for the detailed and wonderful trip. It was both memorable and mesmerising experience for us. Carnival mask workshop, glass making tour to Ivano Soffiato, chocolate tasting event all were wonderful but what topped all of this was your detailed guide and walking tour of Venice. Thanks a lot for the experience.
