Watching the glass being worked, and learning about the skills of the artisans was fantastic. Being so close to the process was fascinating, and being able to create our own keepsake after with the glass was really cool. I really enjoyed this tour and would do it again

Great guides- showed us some cool spots around Venice before getting on the water taxi to Murano. Would have loved to be able to make 2 pieces of jewelry at the end. Those who made a bracelet used more beads so those who decided to make earrings or a key chain could make 2 items if possible! Otherwise loved it and would recommend to anyone!

We watched a glassblowing demonstration and then made earrings and bracelets in their craft room, using beads supplied by them. It was the perfect balance for teenage girls. They learned a little about glassblowing and the history of Murano and got to make jewelry. They were pleased so it was a successful day.
