Worst experience with Viator. I do not recommend this. It was a waste of time and money. Tour guide more interested in getting a tip for little service. So disappointing, this is my first review. Book this on your own.

In fairness I don't know if I would recommend it. The location was difficult to find and not clearly marked, so we actually missed the tour.

We had 18 tours over the 3 weeks we spent in Italy and I can honestly say this was in the top 3 of all the tours we undertook.
Rafaella was an EXCEPTIONAL

No leather except when I asked what the masks were made of in a shop that we walked past and she went to ask what the material was and we were told it was leather. No jewelry craftsmanship at all. One stop at a jewelry shop when the owner pushed us to buy. The paper making was a very quick demonstration after we were told there would be no demonstration. The glass part was great.

I didn't care much for the glass shop we were taken to, the salesman was a bit too high-pressure. We didn't buy anything there. The mask shop with its proprietor were terrific, and we did buy 3 masks. We walked past the place where they build gondolas, but couldn't enter. The guide recommended a good place to have lunch.

We only went to glass demo and the mask shop. No lace, no fabrics, no dolls,. For the price it was disappointing. Our guide was knowlegable, but at the 2hour mark left us. I was so looking forward to the fabrics. The mask shop was tiny and one of us was able to create a mask from the beginning. Very good demonstration and instructions. The glass demonstration was better than the Murano tour taken to the Island. If you are short on time, this glass demo is a good bet.

This tour seemed more commercially driven than about the work of the craftsmen. There was some good insight into local economics. I would like to see a gondola workshop added to the tour.

Our tour guide was amazing. She told us about all the different stores we passed. The mask shop was amazing and Nicholi made me my own mask. However, we only went to two places, the mask shop and glass shop.

Nous avons la chance mon mari et moi même de faire l'excursion seulement tout les deux. Notre guide était vraiment extra elle a même profiter du fait que nous soyons que 2 pour nous faire visiter d'autres monuments. Nous avons eu le droit à une démonstration de soufflage de verre super. Puis nous avons visité une toute petite fabrique de masque qui m'a permis d'acheter un masque vraiment authentique.
