Glass Blowing-Venice
Roam07773589735
, Jun 2019
There was a ten minute demonstration, while they tried to sell us stuff the rest of time. The glass was pricy there, so you are better of buying glass at one of the smaller shops in Venice. Although, I did learn a little bit about making glass during the demonstration, so that was cool.

The experience was interesting, but its really just a short demonstration of glass blowing, then a brief talk on the Venetian history of glass, and then just a hard sell in the shop. No actual opportunity to do glass blowing.

the glass blowing demonstration was only about 5-10 mins long at the most. The translator was very good at explaining how they make the glass and the history of murano. if i were to do it again i would book the travel to the different islands and see the glass being made on murano island it self

Really enjoyable insight into glass blowing although would have been better if we had more time actually watching the glass blowing and not as much time trying to get us to buy from the shop. Our guide was very informative and did make it interesting so I would recommend it

Unfortunately we got lost and never made it to this event. When we did get our bearings, we still didn't find it. No one other than out poor sense of direction was at fault. I'm sure it would have been wonderful!

Puntuali all'appountamento sotto la torre dell'orologio come da indicazioni. Visita alla soffiatura del vetro , scusate, ma veramente deludente. sarà durata 4minuti in tutto in cui il Mastro vetraio con del materiale di scarto ha fatto vedere come realizzare un vaso, senza spiegare nulla, sulla storia, sul tipo di lavorazione, sui materiali, ecc... solo qualche parola della Guida, gentilissima e ben educata, che semplicemente ci ha accompagnato poi nello show-rooms , facendoci vedere dei pezzi sotrici e costosi e lasciandoci poi liberi per eventuali acquisti. .Anche se eravamo solo in 4 2noi italiani e 2tedeschi comunque ,tanti o pochi , i soldi li abbiamo spesi e 369x4 per 5-10 minuti non mi sembra affatto corretto. . Decisamente migliorabile.
