    Wonderful experience

    Great experience. For over 18 years old. The instructor was very patient. He actually spent extra time with them.

    Unique and Breathtaking

    This was such a unique and beautiful experience and I am super happy my partner and I got to participate in it. We had one-on-one instruction from Alessandro, a true artisan from a many generation family of glass artists, and his protege, Dario. Both gentlemen were great teachers: extremely knowledgeable, skillful, pleasant and fun to work with. This was a highlight of our trip to Venice and Murano. It gave us a new appreciation of complexity and beauty of glass as an art form, and the skill and knowledge this work requires. Alessandro had some mind-blowingly beautiful pieces available for purchase in his workshop that were a standout from the rest of the glass in and around Venice. It was clear that both instructors not only loved what they do, but were excited about sharing their passion with others.

    Perfect birthday activity

    We really enjoed trying glass work for the first time. I was a bit nervous about trying it, but Dario made us both feel really comfortable and gave us the perfect amount of help and encouragement. It was my partner's birthday so Dario made it an extra bit special

    Glassworking Experience with Alessandro Boscolo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.

    How much does Glassworking Experience with Alessandro Boscolo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Glassworking Experience with Alessandro Boscolo take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.

    Is Glassworking Experience with Alessandro Boscolo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Glassworking Experience with Alessandro Boscolo?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Glassworking Experience with Alessandro Boscolo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Glassworking Experience with Alessandro Boscolo?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Glassworking Experience with Alessandro Boscolo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Venice?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Venice?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Venice?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
