Alessandro was also very good at involving our 11-year-old! Murano and the glass factory very interesting!
Selena was very knowledgeable and brought us to some of the off the path sights which made her tour very interesting. Lunch was great and the Murano visit was enlightening and beautiful
Was wonderful! Had great conversations with our guide and got to experience so much in regards to the making and processing of Prosecco wine. Would highly recommend. 10 out 10
This was an amazing personalised tour that gave a real insight into Venice and its history. Our guide Selena was very friendly and knowledgeable. The Murano Glass factory was interesting with a chance to buy something that you know has been made in Venice.
This was probably the best tour we did in Venice. Very relaxed visit to the famous Murano island and a very nice lunch. We got up close and personal with the glass blowers and saw some exquisite pieces.
Selina was absolutely fantastic! We had a relaxed, curated experience walking through both the well traveled and quieter streets of all the barrios. Really enjoyed learning about how life evolved on the island, it’s history and treasured architectural jewels. Great experience at Murano and wonderful lunch. All in all worth it, to do Venice your way in a limited amount of time.
Fantastic guide, so knowledgeable, couldn’t have been a more enjoyable experience. Thank you for the wonderful tour!
Thank you Mrs Ketty for the great tout. You are a great guide. You made us feel comfortable and we’re well looked after. You went out of your way to make this experience unforgettable. Josée and I will remember you and we wish you the best of luck in your endeavours. Michel and Josée
Historical artistic glassworks, demonstration of a glass and a horse. The demonstration lasted about a quarter of an hour, the cicero also explained in French in the meantime, very interesting especially for children. The entrance fee of 10 euros for the demonstration (only people aged 15 and over pay) is then converted into purchases in the store display. Prices are definitely high but as indeed the Quality of products. The lady really explained everything that seemed to interest us. Would recommend the visit without a doubt!
We were very disappointed with this tour. According to the information given we expected approximately 7 hours on this tour. We had a total of fours hours with our guide. Due to minor flooding the activities of the day were reversed...the Murano tour was our first stop and was great. Very informative and well planned. Our tour guide started our 3 hour walking tour on the main island after 11am and left us at 1.15pm. She gave us €15 each to cover our included three course lunch which did not cover one course in the restaurant she took us to. She also gave us €2 each to get back to our pickup point, it actually cost us €6 each on the ferry boat. Although the guide was somewhat informative it did not seem very well planned and certainly was not worth the cost. Definitely a disappointing way for two of our group to spend their birthdays! We would not recommend this tour.
