Overview

Meet your English-speaking guide and board a private water taxi to discover the uniqueness of the Grand Canal. Relax while listening to your guide, explaining the history and art of the city, and looking at the beauty of Venice unfolding in front of your eyes.

Navigate the whole Grand Canal, then some minor typical canals of the city, up to the island of Murano.

In Murano, get off at the private dock of one of the oldest glass factories of the island, to see a dem about the world-famous glass production. A representative of the glass factory will explain about the techniques and the materials that the Glass Masters have been using for centuries.

Watch the Glass Master make a couple of items in front of your eyes and at the end, try to blow the glass (it is a simple try, you won't shape any object), a very fun experience. After the demo, have a look at the showroom and see the most beautiful pieces produced in Murano. Then, take a private water taxi back to Venice.
