It was really cool to see the master making the glass pieces, I really recommend the experience. The shop was expensive, I don't think if it worths to buy there even with the discount. Apart that, we got a voucher from our hotel in Venice. So we actually could have done this for free. I recommend to check with your accomodation before buying the tour.

excellente démonstration. La dextérité, le savoir faire sont impressionnants. Au passage en boutique, nous avons profité des remises sur les bijoux, mais nous avons été déçus en comparant par la suite avec les tarifs de ce qui était proposé dans les boutiques de petits fabricants sur le canal à Murano. Notre oeil néophyte ne nous permet toutefois pas de comparer le travail effectué ou la provenance exacte entre ces deux types de boutiques.

We were taken to the show once we got there. There is no line, no waiting time. After the show, we were taken to the shop, the stuff is priced slightly higher than regular shop, but given there is no charge to the show, we bought 2 small souvenir but there is no pressure of buying.
