About this guide

Murano Fornace is an independent guide to Murano, the glassmaking island of the Venetian Lagoon: what each tour really shows you, how long you spend on the island, where you meet and when it is easier to go on your own. We are not a tour operator, a glass factory, the tourist board or GetYourGuide. We compare the bookable options so the choice is easy to make without a sales pitch.

Facts on this site are checked against the GetYourGuide listings as they were when the site was built and against published sources such as the Glass Museum, the City of Venice and the history of Murano glass. When a detail comes from one listing, the site says so and applies it only to that tour. Listings change; if a listing disagrees with this site, the listing is right.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book a tour through a GetYourGuide link on this site, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we write, including when the public vaporetto is the simpler choice. More in the affiliate disclosure.
