The tour was fun - our guide met us promptly and we walked over to the boat dock with a quick stop in the narrowest alley in Venice. The boat ride is beautiful, passing along the waterfront and then cemetery island on the return trip. Upon arrival in Murano, the guide showed us around the island and gave recommendations for lunch. The glass factory gave a brief demonstration of making a vase and a quick sculpture of a horse, and then we were able to make jewelry from local glass beads. Afterwards, we toured the gallery, which is six huge rooms of incredible art. The saleswoman was excellent without being too pressuring. Overall an excellent experience, thanks!

We enjoyed our activity. The guide was prompt at the pickup point, advised on on what vaporetto/boat bus tickets to buy (not included) and was friendly. On the way to the vaporetto you get a quick tour of Venice which was a nice surprise. The glass factory was nice, and the talent of the makers is impressive. I had the impression that we would be actually making the glass but in retrospect that made no sense!! We did use premade beads to make a bracelet, earrings or a mosaic which were surprisingly nice. It was comfortable and clean, and there wasn't much pressure to buy any items in the gift shop afterwards. We had a great time. Grazie!

it was easy to meet the guide at the meeting spot-we then took the ferry over to the island and watched a demonstration (about 20 minutes). The man who did it was the owner. He had been making Murano glass since he was 9-10 years old! He noticed the animals on my girl's winter hats and made Murano glass pieces (cat and unicorn) right in front of them. That was super special. Then we all made bracelets or earrings (which I've worn several times since!) Our girls really loved this.
