He spoke clearly in English and told stories of things in Venice that were very interesting and would be difficult to find out on your own. Our only suggestion is that the tour guide walk a bit more slowly between stops to allow time for photos. read less

It was fun and easy to do. We came home with the masks we made as a souvenir. The shop is small but it does have some air conditioning. The owner is nice and talented.

Once we arrived we were asked to choose a mask and asked to choose colours, we got told the history of the Venetian masks which was very interesting.
Its nice to have a break and get away from the hustle of Venice in this small workshop, there are also some amazing masks you can purchase from the shop.
The shop was still open to the public which at times was a little irritating as we were trying to listen to the history and had to stop while customers came in, the workshop is small so can only really fit a few people inside so its a bit awkward when the public comes in and you are sitting there on a tour.
Overall this is a great place to visit and we were both really pleased with our masks, make sure to ask for glaze over the top for an extra 2 euros it makes all the difference! This is suitable for adults and children of all ages. read less

I also enjoyed how we spent the majority of our time in the smaller side canals rather than the crowded Grand Canal. However, the audio devices did not have a long range and even though we were only two boats away from the guide we could not hear the commentary. read less

If you are doing the afternoon visit, then you have to wait around near pier 1A until the boat can find somewhere to berth (which may or may not be here exactly!) The guide will then come out with the blue sign for 'Lagoon tours' so just be on the look out and ask around if in any doubt.
The first island was Murano where we were herded straight into a demonstration on glass blowing and the obligatory visit to the (expensive) gift shop. There wasn't time to walk about and discover the island unfortunately. After this we sailed to the tiny island of Torcello. Again just a quick visit really. By the time we walked to the church it was time to walk back to the boat again! Our third island visit was Burano and we wished we could have spent more time here on this colourful island.
Although good value for money, maybe it is too ambitious to squeeze in 3 islands into 4 hours duration and overall the trip felt rather rushed. Our guide was great and cleverly spoke in 4 different languages.. read less

Great! A wonderful experience and so helpful and kind. Loved it! Would recommend for children and adults! Just have fun!

The group seemed really big at the start so it took a while for everyone to be checked off the list and sorted into smaller teams.
The mini tour lasted around 10 minutes and getting into the gondola with other people was quick and easy as the guides were professional and efficient.
It was a really memorable experience that is definitely worth the money. Would highly recommend! read less

From what I could hear of the tour, it must have been very interesting. It was a very windy day, making it quite uncomfortable sitting upstairs in the open. I would like to go back and spend more free time wandering around on my own. read less

He has developed a lesson plan which firstly demonstrates some of his skills of the craft and then a more straightforward project for participants involving some of the easier to handle techniques to make a small glass pendant. He guides participants patiently and supportively through this by first providing a demonstration, then a dry run without heat and finally the melting and manipulation of the glass in the heat with Massimiliano aiding with the more complex part in twisting the hanging hook.
We can highly recommend this as an activity when visiting Venice as well as providing a personal souvenir of the visit. read less

WOW having Nicola as a teacher is an honor. I would do that again and again. I really suggest this experience

It was about 15 minutes of walking with history of the canals, Venice and gondola boats followed by 15-25 minute gondola ride. We were about 4-5 per boat.
Considering that a regular gondola ride is anywhere between 80-150 euros cash, this was well worth the price to see a quaint part of Venice. read less

Met our guide, René, near St Mark’s and followed him on a short walk to the gondolas. While on board he talked about various points of interest on the route, the home Mozart lived in when in Venice and the opera house etc.
Roughly a quarter the price of the standard gondola tariffs seen throughout the city, and a great way to experience something unique to Venice.
We’d definitely recommend and would book again when next in Venice. read less

But finally, we opted for one, and I am glad we did. It is a different experience, particularly the commentary from gondolier makes the ride even more interesting. yes - it is expensive, but an experience worth paying for. In April, the price seems to have increased a bit, and it was pretty much 80E for 30 min ride. They say 30-35 min, but our ride was over in 25 min, which we did not exactly like. but still worth the money and time spent. read less

The historical information en route to the meeting point for the gondolas was very interesting and helped you to understand how Venice worked originally. The gondola journey was very enjoyable, and felt relatively personal with only 5 of us onboard. There wasn't much commentary during this journey but we enjoyed the peacefulness and travelling up & down the canals.
Our guide was amusing, personable and very easy to understand. read less

We met at the start, and a big group of people were there and they divided us into 10 groups of five, we walked a few blocks to the canal, waited to load the gondolas and off we went. The ride was about 15 minutes through some canals inside the city. It was nice. I probably would have done our gondola experience more spontaneously had I known instead of this big tour feeling experience buying tickets in advance - we didn’t need to. There are gondoliers all over the city available all day and evening. read less
