To be perfectly honest I wouldn’t bother going to the Murano glass blowing experience as it only lasts about ten to fifteen minutes and then they are very keen to get you into the shop. The supposed lace making was a joke as the lady just told you in about a minute how they make it and then of course it was time to shop again. The best part of the tour was Francesco who’s knowledgeable of all the historical facts was amazing. He gave so many facts and I think it would be a good idea if he had his own tour as he was so good.

Ezra was our guide for this tour. He was knowledgeable about glass manufacturing and selling, having worked 7 years in this glass industry and about all the hilites of Murano island. He stayed by our side after leaving a fascinating glass factory to point out interesting sites and history. It was an efficient use of our 1/3 day time in Venice. My wife and I highly recommend.

We enjoyed our excursion to the Murano glass factory! Ricardo was enthusiastic & informative on all aspects of Venice. We started with a look at the history of Venice through a high tech 3D simulation. Watching the artist blow glass into a water pitcher & horse was mind-blowing! Incredible works of art were displayed & sold upstairs! Shopping in Murano gave us a chance to purchase beautiful gifts!

A great show. Good for all ages. it was fascinating to watch the master glass blower create a horse in such a short amount of time.

First off, and very important, the directions for the meeting place to start the tour were specific so it was easy to find. The boat ride over was nice and full of information. The glass factory that you tour has nice glass and good quality. When you first show up you are taken into the glass room where the artisans are busy heating and blowing glass. You will sit in stands, similar to bleachers, and watch. Afterwards, you are given time to shop at that factory and then will have time to go walk and explore Murano and see other glass stores/operations. Our guide was very engaging and informative, and I wish I could remember her name because she was awesome. She grew up in Venice and her father had his own glass blowing shop at one time.
