Watch Murano masters blow vases and sculpt a glass horse, then explore a big showroom gallery at Original Murano Glass OMG for $5.
“Tour was short but interesting. Hard to hear guide while in factory. Lots of reasonably priced glass in shop.”
Actor-led Venice Carnival walking show with Codega tales, Casanova secrets, and theater scenes in 75 minutes near Piazza San Marco.
“Great fun; quirky, informative and good value for money. Excellent feedback about it from both the adults and the teenagers in our group. I recommend it!”
Small-group water taxi to Murano for a live glassblowing stop, plus time to wander Venice lagoon islands like Burano.
“I gave it to stars, because the glass blowing example was very interesting. However, I would suggest getting a water, taxi pass, and visiting the islands on your own. The little guidance they gave on the tour was very difficult to hear.”
Semi-private water taxi to Murano for a close-up glassblowing show, then a guided walk through artisan streets.
“Dear Guest, Thank you for the feedback. We are glad you enjoyed our tour. Hope to see you in Venice again. Regards, Nina-Venice Tours”
Quick, hands-on Murano glass furnace show in a working factory, with live demos, master glassmakers, and included showroom access.
“Fun and very interesting for our whole group to watch the glass making process. It was a great value for the money. No pressure to purchase items in their showroom afterwards, although we did purchase several beautiful jewelry items.”
Venice cabaret dinner show with Prosecco, Italian menus, and Grand Show Magic performers, plus easy mainland access from Piazzale Roma.
“Es war so ein geniales Erlebnis! Tolle Sängern, TänzerInnen, leckeres Essen, freundlichen Personal! Vielen herzlichen Dank für den unvergesslichen Abend!”
Venice at a local home: show cooking lesson and a homemade 3-course meal with wine for up to 12, in English.
“Special experience! The food was absolutely delicious and our host was excellent, welcoming, and very professional.”
A 75-minute Carnival walking show in Venice with costumed guides, lantern-lit lore, and Casanova secrets in English.
“I had the most wonderful historical theatrical walking tour from Francesca! She was brilliant, so many stories come to life from Venice’s history. Very memorable and a perfect activity for your first evening in the beautiful floating city. I saw so much of Venice I don’t think I would have without her. She really takes you off the beaten path, to experience authentic historical Venice. The stories were excellent, Francesca was amazing the city is beautiful. This is a must activity for your visit!”
Private Venice Grand Canal boat tour to Murano for a live glassblowing show in a private studio, with hotel pickup and great views.
“Marta was an amazing guide. She is from Venice and knows her town, history and she was so fun! The glass factory has so much history, we watched a master glass blower create a glass and a horse right before our eyes. Seeing Venice via the canals was incredible and while we were listening to Marta tell stories of the past!”
Every kind of day on the lagoon, and the best of each.
