Pretty easy to use once you understand that you need to use the reference code to pick up your ticket at the ticket counter. My ticket indicated that I had 3 days to use it, but when I went to visit the Correr Museum, I was told my ticket was no longer valid! That it was only valid for 24 hours. Needs double-checking.

Simple process with no issues in the app or when getting the tickets at the entrance. It's well worth getting up early to avoid the crowds; although the tickets allow entry until 6:00 PM, it's better to show up around 9:00 AM.

Very convenient, we skipped the line to enter the museum and explored everything at our own pace. The Doge's Palace is an unforgettable experience: the paintings, the armory, the prison. We just couldn't find the Bridge of Sighs; it wasn't marked anywhere on the museum signs.

This was the best idea for getting around Venice. Very convenient and regular rides. I thought the vaporetti may be crowded- some were and some weren't. We definitely got to see more of Venice this way.

Great service. I bought day tickets online, and as soon as we arrived in Venice, we went straight to the ticket machine, which dispensed our tickets after we entered the code received by email. We only used them to get around by vaporetto, and it was super convenient! Lots of vaporettos and clear directions. The only issue we ran into was the vaporetto from Rialto to the station, because it filled up entirely with locals while tourists were left waiting there. So maybe add a few more vaporettos on Saturdays and Sundays.

Always wonderful! I had already been to the Doge's Palace and was enchanted by its magnificence, so I decided to gift the ticket (10% off) to a friend of mine for her birthday. What can I say, the rooms are always magnificent and rich in art, absolutely jaw-dropping! The route is very well organized, with the free audio guide included. The option to enter at any time without long lines or unwanted waiting is great. Also included in the ticket are the Correr Museum, the Marciana Library, and the Archaeological Museum, which are very nice and quick to visit. Highly recommended!

One smart combo that saves money, cuts queue time, and covers Venice’s must-see landmarks and transport in a day.

Skip the lines and explore the Doge’s Palace, plus access the Museo Correr, Archaeological Museum, and Biblioteca Marciana.

Breeze into St. Mark’s Basilica through a priority entrance and admire its golden mosaics and the iconic Pala d’Oro.

Enjoy unlimited travel across Venice, the lagoon islands, and the mainland for 24 hours with the ACTV transport pass.

Visit Murano, Burano, Lido, and more with ease using vaporetti, buses, trams, and the People Mover.

I loved the visit to the Doge's Palace, it's the same price as on the official website. When you arrive, you show your booking and they direct you to the ticket counter where they ask you what time you want to enter. During the visit, for the audio guide you have to download an app on your phone that explains the different rooms (this is the same no matter where you buy your tickets).

Make the most of your day in Venice with this all-in-one combo: skip long queues, explore must-see landmarks, and travel across the city’s lagoon network with ease.
