The tour was very informative and varied. Our guide Valerio has deep roots on the island and was able to give us specialist knowledge as well as very special insights away from the mainstream. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.

This was a wonderful experience that I will remember for my lifetime. The walking tour really allowed us to understand the history of Morano and the labor of love for the art created there. Our tour guide was just as charming as the city itself, one that he lives in and is clearly proud to be a contributor to…which made the entire experience that much better. 💕
Monica was such a sweet and kind host to us. She shared with us her livelihood and vision for her shop and invited us to make our own unique creation to take home with us.
I cannot say enough good things about this tour. It was the most memorable experience during our stay in Venice for me and my 2 friends who are artist at heart. The trip to Morano was worth it!! Don’t hesitate. Book now!

We had a fantastic tour of Murano glassmaking with Valerio and visited some amazing showrooms, factories and small boutique glassmakers. He took great care that we were looked after and engaged our kids so well. The kids loved making their own glass beads and will treasure their momentos. He knows the island very well and is happy to share his knowledge and experience.

Valerio was a great tour. As a native of Murano, he showed us some places we would not have found on our own. We made our own glass bead! Monica was patient as we were both new to glasswork. On our tour, we actually found a factory that offered classes on glass blowing. We returned another day to create our own drinking glass! Murano was definitely a highlight of our tour.

An incredible experience in the heart of Murano! The glass blowing workshop offered us a fascinating immersion in this age-old art. Monica, our host was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly kind and caring. His expertise and passion really enriched our visit. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to experience the art of glassblowing in Murano.

We couldn't have asked for a more patient teacher of lamp work and educator of Murano glass. Well worth the cost and no pushy sales pitch after.
We had so much fun making the glass beads! A must when visiting Venezia, where else can you make Murano glass beads yourself?

I booked a 3-hour tour to Murano with Valerio for my 11-year-old son. We had a great time. Valerio picked us up at the hotel and then we walked through non-touristy areas to the water boat. Valerio gave us constant anecdotes and information. Then the boat trip to Murano. Valerio had prepared a surprise for us. The visit to Monica, the glass artist, was extraordinary and beautiful. Away from mass tourism, we were able to learn about the art of lampwork and my son was even able to create his own pearl. It was exactly what we were looking for: a tour without mass tourism and individual. Valerio is a very nice person with a lot of humor. We can recommend him at any time. Thank you for this wonderful time.

Valerio was very personable. We certainly enjoyed him. He was so knowledgeable and fun and knew the area and the people well. The tour was so much more than we expected. He is from the area and was able to give us a wonderful behind the scenes look at Murano.

Valerio was an amazing guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us great advice for the rest of our adventures in Italy. Having a local guide really creates an experience of a local. So nice to have a private tour also!
