Picking up our tickets at the Doge’s Palace went very smoothly. Head to ticket window number 4, which is located on the right side of the building when you’re standing in St. Mark’s Square facing St. Mark’s Basilica. The entrance is on that side.

This is the first time I've bought it for work, and I'll definitely buy it again for personal use as well. It's easy to use and lets you travel with peace of mind on any mode of transportation.

Excellent, timely and comfortable. Had no issues using the service and would highly recommend to others using the same. Some great views of the city from the water as well!

Very convenient, with comprehensive service to Venice and the surrounding area. The Grand Canal tour will leave us with wonderful memories. My only regret is that it would be helpful to have information on travel times and the best pier to use for certain routes.

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.

It was a great experience. There were two of us, and we bought two 24-hour tickets because it was our second-to-last day in the city. It worked out perfectly for us, because since the ticket is valid for 24 hours from the time it’s validated, we were able to take the vaporetto to the train station without having to pay extra. If you’re planning a trip to Venice, you should definitely consider buying these tickets.

    General disorganization, poor signage, and a lack of clarity. Everyone waited together in no particular order for a vaporetto to arrive, and only then did we find out where it was going from the operator, who announced it—it was truly chaotic.
