Our favorite part of our trip - This was at the top of favorites list for our whole trip. He is amazing, talented, and PATIENT. It was surreal to see how the glass is formed and a cool memory to have done a little piece yourself. I can see why this had 5.0 stars before I booked it. Do NOT miss out on this!

Don't - Not work the Risk - Buyers beware - we received a cancellation notice 30 minutes before it was scheduled to begin. When I called Viator they said the operator reported there was a natural disaster - thus they had to cancel. We were refunded the money - but I'm more than disappointed that this person was allowed to do that. There was absolutely no natural disaster - the weather was beautiful. If we were to have called with a story like that we would have been penalized financially - but this person can ruin plans no problem. Not cool.
