Best Murano Glass Factory Tours

A wonderful excursion with Monica, an exceptional guide. My children aged 4,7,9,11 and 16 as well as myself loved it

Our guide David was exceptional. So many interesting pieces of history, personal stories and insights. It was like spending the day with a local friend.

We had a great time! Although it was rainy, we got to see the glassblowing and lacemaking and still had free time. The boat ride was nice, and our guide Christina B was amazing and both informative and funny.

Alex and his boat driver were great! Was a great way to get aquatinted with these two islands. Highly recommended!

We had such an amazing time on our trip. From the moment we stepped on to the boat our guide was fantastic. It was a great history lesson in all thing Venetian and any questions we had were answered. We visited Murano and Burano and our guide ensured we didn’t miss anything at the same time giving us space. Would highly recommend! Thank you so much

Not enough time to spend on the islands and not very much info given out by guide as well as being difficult to hear

Great experience and not too expensive! I’m giving only 4 stars because they got held up and we lost time to visit the island of burano… we only got 1h30 there

Christina was the best guide we have had while doing many tours on our ten day trip to Italy! Full of information delivered in a very knowledgeable yet entertaining manner. Also very nice, personable and caring with her clients!

Annamaria gave us wonderful insights into Murano. Very exciting, informative and personal. Thanks very much!

Booked this trip for my mum and I - short city break to Venice. Well organised, and structured, and the guide - multilingual and approachable - made it easier to understand timings and locations at each stop. However, meeting point is quite a way from the actual boat so you do need to be able to keep up with the group for a fast walk over 3 bridges and waiting in the sun with no seating prior to this walk for about 30 mins. On the boat, large vessel, lots of seating inside and upstairs - mostly covered, and clean, well maintained, and well staffed - both helpful and supportive. The glass factory on Murano - particularly the demo - was amazing! A true artist and expert in his field!!! The factory shop was a little disappointing, as the prices were much higher than on the mainland. The island itself - Murano - is beautiful and well worth a quick wander around... though you don't have long to look before jumping back on the boat. Burano - beautiful to look at and again well worth a wander around...

Our guide, Serena, was an awesome storyteller! All the facts she presented to us about Venice were extremely interesting, and I'm pretty sure I will remember many details thanks to her narrative devices ;) The trip itself was amazing as well. Murano was impressive (as the island of magical craftsmanship) and Burano was simply beautiful and breathtaking.

Francesca our venetian tour guide was fantastic. A true venetian, she had very good information about Venice. Thank you Francesca. She was so good with our 5 year old daughter too

Was amazing experience!!!Cristina is excellent guide, knowledgeable, attentive and charming. Thank you very much!!!

Rosella our tour guide was fantastic, very informative. We loved hearing about the fascinating history and folklore of Venice’s islands. Everyone at the glass factory in Murano and the lace shop in Burano were friendly, informative and a really good laugh. Seeing the way the glass pieces were made was also fascinating and thoroughly entertaining! Burano is also beautiful. It was mine and my mum’s favourite part of our trip to Venice. The Prosecco on the way back to Venice was also lovely! I would highly recommend this tour, great fun, great chance to meet people, explore and learn more about the Venetian islands and check out/buy some beautiful artisan gifts!

Most of the allotted time at Murano was spent in a queue getting off the boat and then waiting for the glass blowing demonstration. There was no time to see Murano itself. The demonstration was good though, the glass is beautiful. Tip, sit downstairs on the boat and get off quickly. Burano was lovely, and we had time to walk around and get lunch.

Great experience! We had a group of 6 people so this tour was a perfect fit for us. Our guide, Kristina, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Having a hotel pickup and drop off was especially nice.

activity was good however it felt very rushed at both locations. at the meeting point the guide failed to hold up a sign so it was difficult to find the meeting point. we had to ring the company to get better information. Murano particularly rushed with most of the time spent lining up for the glass blowing demo

Selina was a very special guide. She was informative, patient, very good English and so attentive to us. The boat was great. We loved every minute. This trip helped us to understand and appreciate these islands and their importance to Venice.

We had a wonderful time visiting both islands! The guides were very knowledgeable, helpful, and responsible. Definitely recommend this tour.

The boat took as on a round trip on smaller islands. Glass factory (and shop) and spectacular colorfull fishermans village
