Discover the art of glass blowing on the Island of Murano. Go to Murano in a very special way: take a water taxi from Venice and visit a factory where you can learn more about the processes involved and admire the final results.
You will see a demonstration of the Murano glass production with a Murano glass master that will use the traditional techniques. You will see the Glass blowing technique which is the oldest and beat known one and also the sculpture technique.
A member of the team of the glass factory will explain the passages of the production.
At the end of the demonstration you will visit the showroom with the greatest collection of artworks made by the most important Murano Glass masters, and you can also visit the gift shop of the factory.

Our second time of visiting Murano. This time it was a special water taxi from the hotel and we were treated specially on arrival - spencial chairs behind a rope dividing us from the paying public who sat on benches. We saw an ornament being blown (impressive) and some chandelire elements being produced. Then we had a tour of a show room. But there is no such thing as a free gift and it felt like a lot of pressure to buy something. We didn't in the end purchase here - we needed some air anyway so walked up the street - and we came across a similar piece by the same artist for considerably less money! We'd been to Murano before so knew about the special galleries upstairs. We love the art, the craftsmanship and have now bought good 3 pieces in Murano. We appreciate the taxi over to Murano but the prices here were just to rich for us. We advice shopping around.

Boat trip was lovely
Glass blowing demo was terrific
Showroom- salesman a bit pushy…
Beautiful place!

This was an excellent experience! First a quick boat ride straight to the shop, then a demonstration of the art. It was amazing to see a glass master at work! Deborah gave interesting details of the history of this art.
Then on to see beautiful works of glass art. And in the shop we found many things in our budget. The staff wrapped our items with care and processed a tax refund. Great experience and wonderful hosts!

The boat provided was very nice and there was two glass blowing demonstrations. Nice to have small numbers so you are not crowded.

This was the most disappointing tour we have ever been on
We we’re transferred from Venice in a taxi on arrival was rushed through a demo with our guide much more interested in his phone than us
Then escorted to his gallery hoping for us to purchase super expensive pieces of glass work
When guide realised we weren’t going to purchase he rushed us through to their shop then made us wait 2 hours for return taxi trip
If I could give this no stars I would

We were shown how the great Murano glass works were done. Amazing artistry! We met very warm and friendly personnel like Christian and Julie.
