Overview of your Venice tour:

This tour will take you to Murano island by 'vaporetto' the local waterbuses. Once in Murano, we will start with a nice walk to discover this beautiful island and its history and to know how and when Murano became the island of glass. Then we will have an exclusive visit to one of the most important historical glass-factories of the island where we will admire the glass-masters at work . I love this glass atelier , is much more than a glass-factory , here you can breathe passion and art , it is really a "wow" place. The secrets and techniques of this unique and ancient art will slowly disclose while a piece of glass will be turned into a masterpiece under your eyes. A kind of wonder mixing tradition and modern innovation. After the demonstration, we will have time to visit the glass-factory exposition and showrooms where to admire their artistic production . At the end of our visit, we will catch a water-bus back to Venice!
