I am the only one to offer the furnace just for you! It'll be just you inside the studio, the master with 40 years of business and me in addition to guiding the furnace! It's not the tour where you see sitting, but you're going to make the glass.

What To Expect
The Taxi will pick you up at your hotel or predetermined place. It is not a Tour where you look and take pictures, here you will work the Glass, together with the Master Glassmaker. Production will be stopped for almost an hour and you will have the entire furnace at your disposal. The teacher will explain you while you or your partner, will make a work, from the glass to a jar,... in short, let's see your ability!! You, with your skills, will create the object. What you create, with the help of the master will be shipped to your home. You will start from the rising of the incandescent sand from the oven, turn on the Bronzino... and you will do the blowing!! You will join the pieces you have produced and put them to cool in Tempera! AMAZING. This experience helps you understand how incredible glassblowing is and is an introduction to buying unique pieces! This activity is not a game for children, but a real glass processing and production. Eventually you will access the exclusive private unique gallery and Good Shopping. Remember this tour is meant to set you up for sale, not a game so much to create your own piece!

Very private experience

5.00This is truly a private experience so if that's your vibe and it's within your budget, I would recommend. The glass blowing workshop part is quick and mostly done by the master to ensure you end up with a drinking vessel but then you get a private tour and shopping time. Everyone was very friendly!
Once-in-a-lifetime experience with a great tour guide

5.00Davide arranged a wonderful boat and tour with a once-in-a-lifetime glass blowing interactive experience. Davide gave us a tour of Venice and then took us to a glass factory in Murano. We got to see a master workshop and then all 4 of us were able to help make a glass piece. Unbelievable. We all loved it.
Exceptional Authentic Glassblowing Experience in Murano

5.00This was a truly special experience. I’ve tried glass blowing before, but working alongside master craftsmen in their family workshop was something different entirely. Julia gave an excellent tour of the facility, explaining the artistry and tradition with clear passion for the craft. Watching the master glassblowers create pieces was captivating, and getting to work at the furnace myself was a highlight I won’t forget. Communication was seamless from booking through the visit, and the boat ride to Murano was beautiful. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the personal attention made this feel genuine and welcoming rather than just another tourist activity. If you’re looking for an authentic Murano glass blowing experience with skilled artisans who care about what they do, I highly recommend this tour.

5.00If this is not on your bucket list, it should be. I have been fascinated by the art glass blowing for years so I knew I would enjoy this experience but I didn’t expect how much my family members who joined would also love it and they have never seen glass blowing before. This was the highlight of our whole Europe trip for everyone. I would love to go back and do it again.
Davide’s pick up was...

5.00Davide’s pick up was seamless and accommodated our slight delay. Lovely ride down the grand canal (including surprise couples photos!) on our way to Murano - awesome. Upon arrival, greeted with warm smiles and immediately got down “to work”. I have been on such “glass blowing” tours before, but not really. This is not a demonstration or a visit to a factory or another Murano shop - the family explains the history, their process, and more. And YES you DO get to make your own piece (and even when I broke it the first time they patiently let me go again until I got it right). Great way to start our visit to Venice, Davide is even going to hand deliver our pieces to our hotel in a day or two once they cool (takes some time in the kiln the masters explained while we were there). Thank you Davide.
Blown away.

5.00Our experience was sensational. The craftsman were masters and the boat ride/guides were top notch. If you have the time it’s well worth the cost.
The best morning!

5.00Truly so special. I felt like a child on Christmas morning seeing and experiencing the glass blowing tradition. Every piece of the experience was perfect and my family and friends found the experience to be so magical.
Unique experience in Murano

5.00The whole family agreed this experience was the highlight of their Venice trip. It was such a unique experience to participate in. The crew were so much fun and patient with us while we tried our hand at the craft. David was great at keeping us informed and up to date on our meeting point and everything went smoothly. We would highly recommend this experience. The Cox family
