Check-in at Campo San Bartolomeo Square
Depart from Venice city center with your expert local guide! Walk for approximately 15 minutes through the quiet streets and reach Murano island by public transport (fare not included).
Visit the famous glass factory which has been setting itself apart for many years. While many of its neighbors stay true to the conventions and traditions of the Murano way, the Colleoni factory chooses to innovate and has become the heart of an artisan village on Murano.
Some of the most spectacular examples in Venice are the Basilica of San Marco and the Church of San Donato. This small workshop will allow you to use different pieces of glass, called “tessere” and several models of murrine “millefiori” to create your own personalized item to take home.
Before starting the practical part, you will be given a brief history of the origins of the glass and then an illustration of the processes and equipment used. After trying your hand at some tasks set by your instructor, you can then create a unique and original set of glass beads for yourself!

Our guide was very friendly and after a brief walk we were taken to the boat. We were lucky enough to have time for a quick cappuchino before embarking. Our guide gave us some interesting details about the history of gl...
