Valerie was absolutely fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Murano and learning about glass history here and how it has changed over the years

Valerio is such a wonderful guide--knowledgeable, engaging, with a serious depth of knowledge and ability to get visitors into secret places off the beaten path. We had a great history lesson on glasswork in Murano and a chance to try it out. Valerio learns all the travelers' names and keeps you engaged throughout the whole tour. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for something more in-depth than simply buying Murano glass (though you can do that, too--right from the artisans themselves!).

Great day with Valerio in Murano! He took us to beautiful stops we would have never accessed on our own. Thoroughly enjoyed visiting Monica’s shop and learning from her about lamp work. Valerio also had great restaurant suggestions both for a sit down meal or a quicker option depending on our mood. Would highly recommend.

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?
