Discover the magic of glassblowing with an exclusive tour of the Murano glass factory, where centuries-old traditions come to life. This tour offers you the chance to witness the art of glassblowing firsthand and participate in a hands-on workshop to create your own unique piece.
Your experience begins in the heart of Venice, where you’ll meet your local guide. Together, you’ll walk through hidden streets and charming corners, making your way to Murano via the public boat service (ticket not included). Once you arrive on the island, you’ll explore Murano’s seven islands, connected by picturesque bridges, and visit a renowned Murano glass factory where artisans have been perfecting their craft for generations.
Inside the factory, you will witness a live glassblowing demonstration by a master glassmaker, lasting around 20 minutes. During this mesmerizing display, at least two glass objects will be created before your eyes. Your guide will provide detailed explanations of each step in the process, helping you understand the skill and artistry involved in creating these stunning pieces.
After the demonstration, you’ll have the option to participate in a glassmaking workshop. Choose from three creative activities: designing jewelry with glass beads to make a bracelet or pair of earrings, or crafting a colorful glass mosaic. Whichever you choose, you’ll leave with a unique piece of Venetian craftsmanship as a memento of your time at the Murano glass factory.
Before concluding your tour, you’ll have time to browse the factory’s store, where you can shop for authentic Murano glass pieces and take advantage of a 20% discount exclusive to tour participants.
