Depart from your hotel or agreed meeting point with our guide to enjoy a short cruise to Murano through small canals and the open lagoon. Once in Murano Island our stop is at an artistic furnace. This is an experience will never be forgotten: a still operating glass furnace with masters creating single pieces of glass, either a vase, a statue, a thin goblet or parts of a huge chandelier. Learn how to distinguish different cuts of glass to choose what you like most.

The purchased glass was only packed to be break-proof for an extra charge. Unfortunately, we had to discover at home that the horse's legs were broken, presumably already during packing.
Operator response
Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie diese enttäuschende Erfahrung gemacht haben und das Glas beschädigt bei Ihnen angekommen ist.
Wir empfehlen unseren Kunden grundsätzlich, die gekauften Glaswaren direkt von der Glaswerkstatt an ihre Heimatadresse schicken zu lassen. Auf diese Weise werden Verpackung und Versand direkt von der Werkstatt übernommen, die somit für eine fachgerechte Verpackung und den sicheren Versand verantwortlich ist.
Wir bedauern sehr, dass Ihr Glas dennoch beschädigt angekommen ist, und können Ihre Enttäuschung darüber gut nachvollziehen.
