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 our first time in Venice, and we bought a day pass. It was really convenient. We took the vaporetto several times. The wait times are short, and you can get from one place to another really quickly.

    Great to go at opening time for a less crowded experience. I downloaded the free audio tour but unfortunately the wifi is spotty so just heard about first three rooms. There is good signafe though and view from second floor is amazing

    Ticket war am Automat mit Code einfach zum Einlösen und hat überall super Funktioniert. 1 Tag Venedig mit 24 Stunden Ticket für die AVTV Linien kann ich nur jeden weiter empfehlen. Wir kommen wieder!

    Excellent, very easy to use, easy to purchase. Used the pass to travel to murrano, then san marco and finally to giglie. The best part was I did not have to buy tickets again and again
