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!

5.00Such a unique experience to be in a private workshop seeing the masters at work. It was even cooler to try it out ourselves!

5.00Oh my goodness!!! I loved it with all my heart! Grazie to you and Giulia and Franco and Danielle!! Amazing once in a lifetime experience I will never forget. Anyone that I speak with in the future that may be coming to Venice to get the glass blowing experience MUST book with you!! Franco was so patient and knowledgeable and Danielle was the perfect helper!! I wish I had a million dollars I would have bought everything in the gallery and I would gladly work for free to learn the craft. What you do is truly art and so beautiful and there are not enough words to say how appreciative I am for you to allow me in to your private workspace and watch your process. And Giulia is now my best friend in Venice!! She was so wonderful, friendly and socialable.. you couldn’t have picked a better person to guide the tours! 😚🤌🏻

5.00We had a wonderful time. Organized very well by Davide, he took the time to discuss what we were looking for and arrange it accordingly. We had a lot of fun making and briefly blowing the glass. Everyone involved were super nice and helpful. Highly recommended.

5.00The glass blowing experience with true murano masters was, hands on, accessible and good for all ages! We now have our own unique, handmade tumblers that are precious to us and new family heirlooms! Davide shared interesting local knowledge and his close relationship with everyone we met added depth and fun to the experience. We started as strangers and left feeling like family!

5.00David was amazing! So accommodating - he made the whole experience just wonderful. He arranged the private glass blowing tour in the island of Murano and was available to make customized upgrades and additions. Highly recommend!
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.
