“We loved the chance to make our own mask but it was lovely to speak to an art student and artist who lived in Venice. She was able to converse about what it’s like to actually live in Venice. We loved learning about life in Venice, about Venetian masks and the chance to visit the doges prison for free was a bonus. This was where the workshop tool place, right next to the doges palace! The workshop itself is in the prison and is a great space to create in with plenty of space, air conditioned and a wide variety of mask types to select and paints and twenty or…”

“The class with Thomas and Bleona were so fun. They were so kind and everything was easy to follow!! Also we met new people and had a great dinner with them together. Once in a lifetime experience… 🥰”

“Pasta and Tiramisu lesson. Absolutely brilliant! Would highly recommend! Really informative and worth every penny.”

“We had the best time at this workshop! The host was very welcoming, funny, and informative. We had a blast making our own glass pendants — such a cool experience. We highly recommend booking this if you’re looking for something creative to do and actually wanting to be hands-on with the glass. It is a one-of-a-kind experience!”

“A very fun evening painting our masks. The shop owner provided a little history on Carnival and various mask traditions/ designs. At the end, they tidy up and add a little flair to your mask so it looks a little more like a masterpiece, and less kindergarten painting (as in my case haha). Would recommend to couples and families.”

“This was an excellent experience and I highly recommend it! Giovanni, our guide, has an excellent personality and has a lot of interesting information to share about the history of the area. The artisans and guides at the glasswork factory were amazing, as well.”

“We loved loved loved our tour! Nicolo and his team were absolutely amazing! Don’t miss this tour! And buy some beautiful pieces while you are there! Grazie!”

“This was a great experience. They guided you through the process on how to customize a mask, paint and then highlight it. I was nervous as I am not very artistic but it turned out great!”

“It is more like a DIY session on the mask painting, rather than a workshop with proper guide”

“Massimiliano Caldarone is an artist who shares his art with you for a full experience. You get to feel the glass turn to liquid and then shape it. He patiently teaches so you are prepared and keeps you calm when you want to tense with the actual doing. You end up with a piece you have truly created, selecting your colors and mixing them as you choose. And then you get to watch him perform as an artist. We loved the creation of one of his trademark dancers. His movements matched the music, and we all wanted to take the resulting glass dancer home with us. I definitely recommend this…”

“My wife and I would highly recommend the market tour and cooking class with Filippo! He is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced local chef that was engaging and answered all of our questions. He made the entire group feel at home, which made this one of our favorite memories from our trip to Venice!”

“The experience of making fresh pasta and one of my favorite desserts in such a historic city was absolutely amazing. Our instructor was super personable and attentive. The small group of people created a great environment to meet new people while enjoying the art of pasta making. Whether it's your first time cooking or you've been doing it for years I highly recommend trying it out. The best part is if you truly enjoyed the class it's something you can take home with you and use what you learned as a new life skill.”

“Alex was so amazing and sweet. She made us feel right at home in her kitchen and taught us how to make three types of pasta. She had amazing banter with each person and created a warm environment for all. Definitely recommend this class.”

“Rosa & Angela were phenomenal hosts, very knowledgeable, and overall some of the most wonderful people you'll ever meet!! The food was FANTASTIC and we were given a PDF of the recipes we made to be able to make at home. Of our 2 weeks traveling in Europe, I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being one of our favorite things we do the entire trip! Would absolutely recommend!”

“The Murano glass blowing tour was phenomenal! Our teacher Tam was super knowledgeable and so patient, she made the experience so much fun!”
