When I was planning our trip to Venice for the first time since I dug through my emails to find her contact info and emailed her. She quickly responded and we made plans to do a tour of the Biannale which she was so excited about saying it was her favorite tour to give. She is so knowledgeable and colorful as well as passionate. Despite the near heat wave like conditions I can’t say enough how enjoyable her tours are. Can’t wait to go back and check out some other sights. Not in the summer though…Written 22 July 2022

We really enjoyed the half day trip to Murano Island. It was a little escape from the crowds of Venice. The glass making demonstration was very interesting and the short walking tour of the island informative. We visited the church of Murano with beautiful paintings and glass chandeliers.

The private boat trip was excellent with a lot of information and the guide was very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the glass work and the glass factory. After the visit in the glass factory we did a nice small tour on the island of Murano.

We returned to Venice with friends and opted for organized tours. Our choice fell on this visit to Murano. It gave us a great opportunity to explore Murano with a local guide, and we enjoyed shopping . A beautiful visit!

For our visit we asked to see an alternative Venice. Given our limited time, we were offered a visit to craftsmanship, glass and fabrics. We appreciated the skill of these craftsmen. Thanks again to our guide for the perfect organization.

If you have time while you're in Venice, take this tour.
We arrived at Murano on our water taxi which was great fun in itself. Into the factory you can see one of there glass blowers demonstrate his talents by blowing a vase and making a sculpture. It is really fun to watch. Afterwards they lead you into the show room where they show some of the best examples of their finest glass blowers. The guide take us also us to discover the beautiful church of Murano. Highly recomended.
