GroupVerified bookingApr 20263/5We arrived at the location at 2:45 p.m. as instructed (15 minutes before the tour was scheduled to depart). At 3:00 p.m., the guide hadn’t shown up, so I went into the Tour Shop to ask for information: one of the guides told me that the tour wasn’t available, but that it had been rescheduled for the following day. When I complained (we were in Venice for just one day), the guide told me to wait 15 minutes and that she would check. At 3:20 PM, they allowed us to depart. No complaints about the glassblowing experience or the staff’s courtesy. We returned to St. Mark’s Square at 4:50 PM (so the tour lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes, not 2 hours and 30 minutes as advertised). For the cost of €65 per person, it was absolutely not worth it, considering that if I hadn’t insisted, they wouldn’t have let us take the tour. And even if we had received a refund in case of cancellation, as mentioned by the guide, it certainly wouldn’t have compensated for a day organized in Venice from outside the region.JJohn M
