Lovely activity in Murano - Was short but sweet and watching the master at his work was amazing. He made a horse by pulling molten glass with tweezers, I couldn’t do that with clay. Kids were also allowed to blow glass under supervision and they loved it.

So glad we went for the experience - Blowing glass for myself was unforgettable and very fun, even if it was a short experience. We were happy to have the experience over a free souvenir and to be able to choose a souvenir of our own. It gave us an appreciation of the difficulty of controlling the glass and gauging the pressure to make actual parts. It was cool to hear stories from the glass master and see the passion in person. The demonstration included a few different techniques and parts they actually sell and you could later see in the shop, which we also enjoyed.

Lots of blowing 😮‍💨 - Fun experience. Not only did I get to watch the master artist create blown glass sculptures, I actually got to try it. And they even use my camera to shoot a video of my experience. Highly recommend it!

There isn't much you get... - There isn't much you get to see them blow glass and then you blow a little yourself. Nothing too exciting.

Not sure it was worth the extra money - We got to blow the glass however I am not sure the whole experience was worth it. I expected a more interesting demonstration other than the one you could get for free but we got lumbered in with a massive tour group so the experience did not feel special.

Not as expected - Not what I expected. The glass blowing demo was interesting but the experience was disappointing. My daughter and I each got a minute or so to go up and blow into a tube and then smash the glass bubble we had just blown. That’s it. We paid more than the rest of the crowd and got very little for it. Also the entire experience, including the demo, was not more than 20 minutes.

Just Ok. - We had a difficult time understanding, and it was a demonstration for about 15min. They give you a discount in the store afterwards.
