It was lots of fun. A family of 6 and all ages. We all had a great time . The masks turned out great and we all left happy.

Fun time making high quality masks

Kimberly, Mar 2025

We were able to be as simple or detailed as we wanted with designing our masks - which were very durable and high quality! The facilitators were fun and helpful throughout the session. Highly recommend this workshop!

Confusing and disappointing

caroline_b, Nov 2024

I’m waiting for the refund. This date was changed and communication was confusing. Artist stated he would refund . This was cancelled by the artist.

Making a Venetian mask was a memorable experience for our kids. The tour guide was gracious and helpful. I highly recommend this quiet and relaxing activity for all ages. It’s a small group so you feel well taken care of.

Best Activity for Kids

Christina_C, Apr 2024

This has been the best experience in Venice for my kids so far. Our master mask maker really guided us into making masks that we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Life saver for rainy days.
