Itinerary

Get ready to discover the Murano island, witnessing artistry in action in its glass factories, experiencing the lampwork tradition by creating your own Venetian bead and visiting the Byzantine-style 12th century mosaics of its church. Visit Murano, one of the most visited islands in the Venice lagoon, thanks to the reputation of its glass making industry. This tour will allow you to discover unique glass making factories, away from the most touristic spots; among them, the oldest glass factory in the world active since 1295, where you will see how tradition is combined with contemporary design and creativity. Far from being stuck in the past, glass making still runs in the veins of the inhabitants of the island. You will be able to experience first-hand one of the oldest techniques - the lampwork - thanks to a workshop run by a local artist, who will guide you through the secrets of this work helping you make your own Venetian beed, keeping alive a 17th century artistic practice. Finally, have a pleasant stroll around Murano, discovering some hidden gems like its churches and walking through off-the-beaten tracks.

Fun family tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and bead making! Valerio went above and beyond in spite of some less than great weather.

An amazing Hands-on small group with 2 very amazing people! Highly recommend

Published on Sep, 2024

Such an amazing experience! I recommend anyone looking for a glass experience that is genuine and hands-on, for a low price! I can't express enough of how knowledgeable our tour guide, and just phenomenal over all! I would do the tour again if I had the chance!

Handmade a glass bead myself!

Published on Jul, 2024

detourist Guide Valerio is nothing short of amazing! Tour was very personal and personalized. From exclusive areas at one of the most prestigious glass factories in Murano, to an upstart art glass factory and a tiny mother/daughter craft glass shop, this was the real highlight of our time in the Venetian Lagoon.

Glass Lampwork workshop

Published on Jun, 2024

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

A must-do in Murano--secret places you won't have access to otherwise

Published on Jun, 2024

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!).
