All I can say is: GOOD AND AFFORDABLE. Everything went smoothly, from buying the ticket online to traveling by bus and vaporetto. The service is excellent. The vaporettos and buses run on time. We really enjoyed the vaporetto trips... you can hop on and off wherever you want. The stations are well marked, so you can't get lost. We'll be back. Thank you very much.

After an initial feeling of uncertainty due to my mistrust, I had to change my mind when I went to the meeting point with the voucher and they gave me the ticket for the visit to the Doge's Palace... My friend and I arrived before the reservation time and were able to enter immediately... It was a wonderful experience and I must also mention the absolute reliability of the HEADOUT platform.

Entry was very easy, received physical tickets. Doges palace itself was one of the most impressive displays of art I've seen throughout Europe. You could easily spend hours wandering the palace. The Amory was also surreal. All pieces were authentic and used through history. Audio guide is through an app on your phone so bring headphones if you can.

On the first day we entered Venice and saw the Doges Palace, we realized that we had to see it. When we entered, I was immediately amazed. The building was beautiful, the details were amazing, and the ceiling was the most impressive, which was wonderfully painted. Thank you for this pleasure.

The water services offered is simple and accessible. It makes adventuring and travelling very simple. It also is 24hr service which is incredible. The only issue is when it is busy at the platform, people push in and if you not a person that can push in you will have to wait a few boats before hopping on one. I would say elderly, people with baby's and prams, as well as first come first serve should be given first passage

These tickets granted us fast and easy access that made entering the palace a smooth journey. We had direct entry through a separate entrance that was conveniently located next to Ponte della Paglia. Definitely a great and worthwhile visit to understand the history behind the Most Serene Republic of Venice!

    Perfect for getting around Venice 🎭 and exploring each spot by water. It’s also wonderful to do everything on foot using the MAP’S ME app, even in offline mode 🤪

    It was easy to get the pass by going directly to the ACTV website. However, you don’t need to print it out; just enter the PNR at the ticket machine.
