Description
Depart from St. Mark’s Square aboard a semi-private water taxi and glide across the lagoon toward Murano, the island where Venice’s most treasured tradition still burns bright. In the 13th century, Venice transferred all glass furnaces to Murano to protect the city from devastating fires, a decision that transformed the island into the legendary home of master glassmakers. Their craft was so precious that glassblowers were forbidden from leaving the Republic, ensuring that the secrets of this extraordinary art remained uniquely Venetian. Today, you’ll step inside an authentic furnace and stand just a few feet away as molten glass becomes shape, color, and life in the hands of a Murano maestro. It’s a rare chance to witness a Made-in-Italy masterpiece take form right before your eyes a moment many consider the true crown jewel of Venice. After the demonstration, enjoy a guided stroll through Murano’s charming canals, artisan studios, and island atmosphere. With its blend of history, artistry, and intimate experience, this tour offers not just a visit, but an unforgettable encounter with Venice’s most iconic craft before returning comfortably to St. Mark’s by water taxi.Includes
