Overview

This 2.5-hour private tour includes a watertaxi transfer from your Venice hotel to Murano Island. The trip crosses small canals and passes by Isola San Michele, known as Venice’s cemetery, before arriving on Murano. On the island, the tour visits the 7th-century Duomo di Murano Santi Maria e Donato, featuring original 11th-century mosaics. Next, guests watch a glass master perform traditional glass blowing techniques during a 20-minute demonstration at Artistic Glassworks Colleoni. Afterward, there is 30 minutes to explore the glass factory’s showrooms where handcrafted glass items can be purchased with a 20% discount. The tour includes some free time to walk through Murano’s quieter backstreets for about 15 minutes before returning. The tour ends on Murano Island; return to Venice is via public boat, not included. A private local guide accompanies the tour, and hotel pickup in Venice is provided. Food, drinks, and drop-off service are not part of the package.
