My Prestigious Island of Glass Murano Transfer

Be treated like royalty, leave the tourists hordes behind and glide through picturesque canals and Venice's lagoon to the island of glass on a luxury motor launch.

See the ancient craft of glass making protected for centuries in one of Venice's most illustrious glass artisan work shops.

The pride of the artisans is palpable as you have a guided introduction through private galleries displaying the very best Murano has to offer from finely crafted sumptuous palace chandeliers and museum worthy classic Venetian mirrors to stunning modern masterworks in glass.

If you prefer, after your visit  to the glass artisans work shop, have a stroll on the pretty island of Murano, seeing typical Venetian palaces and squares, see how the people of Murano have made beautiful glass objects for centuries, then return to see a vast array of artifacts available in glass at your host glass factory.

This is a great shopping transfer for experiencing the creative mercantile spirit that still drives Venice today and of course for memorable gift purchases. There is something for every taste and budget.

Ask about special discounts for our clients. You are under no obligation to purchase -that is if you can resist the temptation!

PLEASE NOTE: This is a transfer that takes you to a historic glass factory on the Island of Murano. The glass factory is a commercial enterprise. If you do not feel comfortable with the idea that the glass factory would like people visiting to consider buying some glass ware please do not take this free transfer! If you do not wish to visit a glass factory we recommend you take a public boat and visit the Island of Murano independently.  We can also organize private transfers to the Island of Murano. Please contact us if you would like more information about prices.

Reserve early as this glass factory-shopping transfer is only available with the Venice in One Glorious Day Special
