Itinerary

  • Isola di Murano

    You can feel the warmth, the smells and the sounds of the furnace and you will see the clever hands of the artisan mold the glass in front of your eyes and then, like magic, it will be transformed into a unique object, thanks to the work of a millennial artisan culture that has been handed down from one generation to another. The glassblowing art is recognized in all the world as a synonym of beauty. This art of molding the glass in all these shapes, was one of the best safeguarded secrets in the Venetian Republic. After the glass-making demonstration you will enjoy a island walking tour: the guide will narrate secrets and myths of Murano. You'll visit also the wonderful Church of San Donato, a masterpiece of the Venetian architecture symbol of the island. Exclusive experience to learn this incredible artisan art of the venetian laggon.

Murano at a slow pace

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide adapted our tour to our needs and was kind and helpful. We took a beautiful private boat taxi to Murano, watched a glass-blowing demonstration by a master and walked around the island of Murano. Lovely day.

Wonderful Guide!

Published on Oct, 2024

Chiara was absolutely wonderful. She was punctual, pleasant, and very informative! We had a lively discussion during our 3 hours together. The glassblowing demonstration was impressive, albeit short (about 10 minutes total). The real objective seemed to be to get you to buy something from the shop. I expected this to an extent, but the pressure to buy was a bit uncomfortable. Most importantly, the guide was great, and the town was charming!

Interesting & fun

Friendly, knowledgeable & helpful guide, Vittorio, was a gem! Highly recommend this tour. Discovered a great pizza restaurant.

A wonderful experience

Published on Oct, 2024

David was amazing. Great value. He wasn't watching his watch. History lesson on the creation of Venice was fascinating along with the ride to Murano in a beautiful water taxi. Glass making demonstration is unique. At the end of the tour, he recommended restaurants for lunch and dinner. Thanks again David.

Perfect Private tour of Murano island.

Published on Oct, 2024

Having a private tour was an excellent choice. We were able to take our time a bit but still meet the requirements of the itinerary. Our guide, Vittorio was amazing and so passionate about Venice and Murano. The glass factory was incredible. I had every intention of purchasing something from Murano even it was something small and ended up buying a vase and Xmas ornament but other people may have felt pressured as they do take you through the main shop where everything is very expensive. The walk around the town of Murano itself was beautiful and there are other “glass” shops that you can copy versions of “some murano items but not all“. The private water taxi over to and from the island was also great as our guide took us up other canals that we haven’t visited.
