Murano, Burano and Torcello Half-Day Sightseeing Tour

5,014 reviews
This sightseeing tour allows you to see three islands in the Venetian Lagoon in half a day. Visitors often visit Murano—well-known for its glass-blowing factory—but fewer make it to Burano and Torcello, with their lace-making shops and ornate palaces and churches. The tour also offers two departure times a day, making it easier to fit into your schedule.

I came here in early February with a group of 12 organized by GoAhead Tours. It is located in a very nondescript building. Without the tour guide, we would not have found it. As I recall, they do not allow photographs in the shop, due to copyright reasons. They do allow photographs during the introductory demonstration which lasted about 15 minutes or so. The glassblower of our demonstration was able to create glass objects such as horses and other animals very quickly. It was amazing the detail of the glass objets d'art created in from of us. He made it all seem so easy. I'm sure the skills take many years to master. The shop area highlights the works of the individual glassblowers. Each has his own style and specialty. The prices are only moderately expensive for high-quality items. I purchased two large wine goblets with read and gold details. I paid about $200 with maybe $50 for shipping. They had them shipped to my house in Alexandria, Virginia within two or three weeks. Fascinating exhibits. No complaints.

Please allow enough time for a leisurely stroll through this amazing shop! So many beautiful works of true art in glass! They also have a demonstration room that is worth the visit. I could have gazed at the beauty for a longer time than we had allotted! I did make some purchase that I was too worried about traveling with- No problem! They were very accommodating to ship the items to my home in the states. Everything arrived just as I returned from my trip! The items were expertly packed and all arrived in one piece! There are many glass shops to choose to visit but this one is the REAL DEAL !

The glass blowing demonstration was pretty good, but I feel like it could have been better. The showroom is absolutely amazing. There were so many things that I just wanted to buy. They have a great deal on posting things back to your house in your own country so that you don't have to take it with you.
