La actividad en sí, está muy bien, el monitor aunque no habla español es majo, te aporta utensilios necesarios, y te explica cómo es. Muy recomendable para niños y para adultos también. Horrible la información que dais para llegar al sitio, salen dos posibles, uno (el que elegimos nosotros) en una calle Seconda de la Fava donde no hay ningún taller, como a las 10,00 no aparecía nadie, llamamos y sale un contestador, al final fuimos al otro donde el dueño muy amable nos encauzó donde era.

The activity itself is very good. The instructor, although he doesn't speak Spanish, is friendly. He provides you with the necessary equipment and explains everything. Highly recommended for children and adults alike. The information you provide on how to get to the site is terrible. There are two possible options: one (the one we chose) on Seconda de la Fava Street where there are no workshops. At around 10:00, no one showed up. We called and got an answering machine. In the end, we went to the other one, where the very friendly owner directed us to the right place.

Durante el proceso de reserva se os pide que elijáis un taller y en el correo de confirmación damos la dirección de cada uno y confirmamos que ninguna es la calle Seconda de la Fava. Sentimos las molestias ocasionadas. Translate this opinion into English.

During the booking process, you're asked to choose a workshop, and in the confirmation email, we provide the address of each one and confirm that neither is Via Seconda della Fava. We apologize for any inconvenience. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ottima esperienza per entrare nello spirito veneziano e per spezzare un po' il ritmo del puro turismo con i bambini. Translate this opinion into English.

Muy divertido, fui con mi hija de 8 años y lo pasamos genial pintando las máscaras. El chico encargado del taller no hablaba español pero se implicó mucho con nosotras para enseñarnos y entendernos bastante bien. Translate this opinion into English.

It was really fun. I went with my 8-year-old daughter, and we had a great time painting the masks. The guy in charge of the workshop didn't speak Spanish, but he really got involved with us, teaching us and understanding us quite well. Opinion translated. Show original.

Oso tailer polita izan da haur batekin egiteko. Tailerrean artisaua, alaba eta hiruok bakarrik egon gara, honenbestez, prezioa egokia da. Oso kokaleku onean dago tailerra eta xarma berezia du. Eskerrik asko. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a very nice workshop to do with a child. There was only the craftsman, his daughter and the three of us in the workshop, so the price was reasonable. The workshop is in a very good location and has a special charm. Thank you very much. Opinion translated. Show original.

Es una actividad diferente y bonita aunque un poco cara. Pasas un rato precioso y tranquilo en el centro de la ciudad. La actividad dice que tienes que volver al día siguiente a por las máscaras porque se han de secar y solo necesitan unos 20 minutos, que vas a dar una vuelta y las vuelves a buscar. Así que te las puedes llevas el mismo día. Translate this opinion into English.

It is a different and beautiful activity although a bit expensive. You spend a beautiful and quiet time in the center of the city. The activity says that you have to come back the next day for the masks because they have to dry and they only need about 20 minutes, that you go for a walk and look for them again. So you can take them the same day. Opinion translated. Show original.

Está bien pero debéis suprimir que es en español, nos hemos comunicado en inglés e italiano, es caro para lo que se ofrece aunque la máscara es de calidad el resto de materiales y la poca explicación histórica de las máscaras no corresponde con el precio, se debe mejorar la actividad si el precio se mantiene al actual Translate this opinion into English.

It's fine, but you should remove the fact that it's in Spanish. We have communicated in English and Italian. It's expensive for what is offered, although the mask is of quality, the rest of the materials and the little historical explanation of the masks do not correspond to the price. The activity should be improved if the price remains at the current level. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad es muy buena y muy entretenida para todos los públicos. La ubicación del palacio de las prisiones es un plus. El único pero contratamos la actividad en español y la monitora no hablaba español que más o menos de aclaras pero lo peor es que la actividad es de 1 hora - 1,15 y a los 45 minutos ya estaba el siguiente grupo en la puerta y nos estaban dando por terminada la actividad. Se necesita un poco más de tiempo. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity is very good and very entertaining for all ages. The location of the prison palace is a plus. The only drawback is that we booked the activity in Spanish, and the instructor didn't speak Spanish, which is more or less clear. The worst part is that the activity lasts 1 hour - 1.5 hours, and after 45 minutes, the next group was already at the door and they were telling us to end the activity. It takes a little more time.

La actividad es linda y divertida. NO ES EN ESPAÑOL. Pero la chica que dictó el taller habla un inglés súper claro y con palabras sencillas. Se entiende todo lo que dice. Dura 1hs el taller, un poco más de tiempo estaría bien porque es medio a las apuradas todo. La pasamos re bien y es un plan distinto en Venecia. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity is nice and fun. It's not in Spanish. But the woman who led the workshop speaks super clear English and uses simple words. Everything she says is understandable. The workshop lasts an hour; a little more time would be nice because everything is rushed. We had a great time, and it's a unique idea in Venice. Opinion translated. Show original.

An incredible workshop, and even more incredible is the shop where it's held! They tell you about Venetian culture and history in relation to Carnival and the importance of masks.

La actividad fue contratada en castellano y al llegar lo primero que nos dicen es que no hablan castellano. Nos dicen también que se van a decorar mascaras pequeñas porque sino no da tiempo. La chica es muy agradable pero no pintas máscaras, pintas antifaces. Carisimo para lo que es. No lo recomiendo.

The activity was booked in Spanish and when we arrived the first thing they told us was that they didn't speak Spanish. They also told us that they were going to decorate small masks because otherwise there wouldn't be time. The girl is very nice but she doesn't paint masks, she paints eye masks. Very expensive for what it is. I don't recommend it.

El equipo que da la bienvenida puede no hablar en español, pero quienes te ayudarán a hacer las máscaras sí que lo hablan. Sentimos si algún aspecto del servicio no resultó de vuestro agrado. Agradecemos y tomamos nota de los comentarios para seguir mejorando en lo posible. Translate this opinion into English.

The welcoming team may not speak Spanish, but those who will help you make the masks do. We are sorry if any aspect of the service was not to your liking. We appreciate and take note of the comments to continue improving as much as possible. Opinion translated. Show original.

Giorgio est vraiment formidable, c’est de loin la meilleure activité que nous avons faite à Venise ! En plus de la fabrication de notre propre masque vénitien, Giorgio prend aussi le temps de nous conter l’histoire du carnaval et des masques vénitiens, leur signification et leur apparition… Je recommande vivement, c’était génial. On s’est également offert qq masques grâce à la réduction dont nous fait bénéficier Giorgio, nous ne sommes définitivement pas venus pour rien! Translate this opinion into English.

Giorgio is really great, it was by far the best activity we did in Venice! In addition to making our own Venetian mask, Giorgio also takes the time to tell us about the history of carnival and Venetian masks, their meaning and their appearance… I highly recommend, it was brilliant. We also treated ourselves to a few masks thanks to the discount given to us by Giorgio, we definitely didn't come for nothing! Opinion translated. Show original.

Meravigliosa esperienza con dei veri esperti ti maschere veneziane ! Tra pennellate e chiacchiere sulla storia delle maschere veneziane, Giorgio e Nicoló ci hanno insegnato la complessa e affascinante arte dietro le loro uniche maschere! Le maschere erano pronte subito dopo! Non vediamo l’ora di appenderle nelle nostre casette! Consiglio vivamente a tutti!

Hola! Por un accidente, tuvimos una demora. He sido atendido muy bien por todos los responsables a quien llame por telefono y me han guiado con paciencia hasta el lugar. Una vez alli, el artesano nos expreso que quedaba poco tiempo hasta el proximo turno y que le gustaria dedicarle a las niñas el tiempo necesario para que hagan el trabajo y lo disfruten, sin presiones. Nos ofrecio llegar un par de horas mas tarde y asi fue. Las niñas se divirtieron y se llevaron sus mascaras, valio la pena!
