Eleonora was a fantastic tour guide. Her Venice knowledge was superb and she was able to answer all our questions in great detail. The tour itself was well put together and we never felt rushed, and had plenty of time to enjoy all aspects. The only downside we had was in the glass factory souvenir shop, where we experienced very pushy sales tactics - very disappointing! However, this wasn't related to Eleonora/the tour operator as the sales tactics came from those who worked in the factory.

We visited a manufacturer in Murano and they showed us how they styled and blew glass. Extremely impressive. In addition, they allowed us to experience making a glass object. It was exciting and it gave us an appreciation for how difficult it is to create the beautiful Murano glass work. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Great experience and our guides were amazing! The actual process of them making the glass is very short but very entertaining. They take you into their shop after and show you all of their beautiful pieces. There was no pressure to buy ever.

Our tour with Guilia was perfect for the short amount if time we had in Venice. We went there from Triest in the morning as our cruise ship was docked there for only one night and we wanted to cover as much as possible. Guilia a picked us up at our hotel the afternoon we arrived and she ordered a private boat and escorted us to fascinating Murano where we saw an amazing art glass demo at one if the oldest and finest family owned operations on the island. Beautiful and amazingly work and thorough explanation of the process. A walk through the gallery of their work with no pressure to buy concluded our visit there in just about one hour. Plenty of time. Then a leisurely stroll to visit the 8th century church of St Mary featuring an enormous glass crucifix and mosaics still beautiful and fresh after 13 centuries. There are no crowds this time of year and it was a beautiful day. When we were done, Guilia ordered another private water taxi and escorted us to our hotel. We needed an ATM machine and she took us to one. We can't say enough about Guilia's skill as a guide and we have had many. She lives in and loves Venice and she enjoys sharing her beautiful home with curious travelers. We highly recommend this quick tour but, more importantly, the personal experience we had with Guilia.
