Cross the lagoon by private water taxi

You travel across the Venetian lagoon to Murano by private water taxi. The trip takes about 30 minutes each way, and at the end of the experience you return to Venice by water taxi and are dropped off at the same point as your pick-up.

Watch a demonstration at a historic glass factory

The first stop is a historic glass factory on Murano. In a live demonstration, you learn traditional glassmaking techniques and watch skilled artisans shape molten glass into delicate forms.

You also hear about the craftsmanship that made Murano world famous.

Make your own glass piece in the master's studio

Unlike an ordinary factory tour, you enter the home and private studio of a Murano glass master and meet the artist in person. You hear about his creative journey, the techniques he has refined over the years and what inspired his work.

In a hands-on workshop led by the master, you learn about the making of Murano glass and the materials, tools and techniques used, and create your own glass piece. The experience ends with a traditional Venetian aperitivo.
