However, be careful when ordering. We had a bad experience which took the Italian ambassador to clear up. It is a very interesting place. However, be careful when ordering.

We were offered a free boatride to the Murano factory. We didn't buy any of their very expensive wares. We were shown the exit door. No knob on the othe side to get back in. We had to find our way back to Venice. We caught a "bus" back and thought maybe we should hve bought a chandelier. We did enjoy the visit though. Amazing to watch the glassblowers.
