Murano: Private Glass Blowing Demo + Tour

Murano, privately

This 3-hour private tour of Murano covers the island thoroughly: a private boat from St Mark's Square, a guided walking tour with a private guide, and a private glassblowing demonstration at a factory with skip-the-line entry. The private format means everything is tailored to your pace and interests, without waiting for other group members.

The boat

A private boat collects you from near St Mark's Square and crosses the lagoon to Murano. The ride offers views of Venice receding and Murano appearing, with your guide providing commentary about the lagoon and the islands you pass. The private boat waits for you on Murano and returns you to Venice at the end.

The walking tour

On Murano, your private guide leads a walking tour of the island beyond the glass factories. Murano has its own churches (including San Pietro Martire with works by Bellini), its own canals, and its own residential character. The guide explains the island's history, its relationship with Venice, and the social dynamics of a community that has revolved around a single craft for over 700 years.

The glass demonstration

Skip-the-line entry takes you into a glass factory for a private demonstration. A master glassblower performs for your group alone, with the guide translating and explaining the techniques. The private format allows closer viewing, more questions, and a pace suited to your level of interest. After the demo, the factory showroom is available for browsing and purchases.
