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

Valerio was a wonderful guide with a very infectious personality. We really enjoyed his commentary of the city, and the insider access to one of the local glass making factories and their showrooms. It’s worth noting that you have to pay 30 euros extra to actually work with the glass. We also didn’t receive the walking tour with the chapels, so we had to pay an extra entrance fee to see them by ourselves. Overall it was good, but a little overpriced in my opinion.
