This was an excellent tour. An absolute must whilst in Venice. Great value for money. What made it most special was our tour guide Giovanni, he was knowledgable, polite and went over and above what was expected. Definitely bring cash and negotiate in the factory, the glassware is stunning.

We received a short private tour of a glass blowing shop and one way private boat ride. Our guide (Daisy or maybe Desi sorry I did not see her name) was friendly, chatty, knowledgeable . She answered many questions and returned with us to Venice. She helped us figure out the vaporetto and got us ahead of the crowd. Murano is not the greatest place ever but I enjoyed the stories from our guide and I am now very impressed by the skill of the glass blowing artists

Our guide, Gianluca promptly met us in our hotel lobby near the Grand Canal. We walked over the canal and through the railway station with him while he gave us some historical information about the railroad and nearby housing that had been used by the workers. This was interesting as we had not explored the northern section of Venice previously. We got to where the water taxi was parked after about a 15 minute leisurely walk. It was a pleasant ride over to Murano while Gianluca gave us some information about the lagoon islands. The visit to the glass factory was outstanding, there was only one other couple present while the master glass blower created both a vase and horse using different techniques. Of course there was a tour through the factory showroom with exquisite and expensive glass creations. We rejoined our guide and re-boarded the water taxi to transit to Sam Marco square. Gianluca spent additional time with us while listening to the wonderful band at Cafe Florian. He then accompanied us to a nice restaurant for lunch. The experience was quite nice overall and Gianluca provided a lot of informative information along the way.
