CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5Venice and the vaporetto—it was love at first trip! We rode along the Grand Canal, admired the palaces from the water, and the trip to the Lido was a special delight. Just 15-20 minutes from San Marco, and you're on a beautiful beach on the Adriatic. Returning in the evening at sunset is simply magical! Convenient, romantic, and very atmospheric. The 24-hour pass was a real lifesaver and saved me money. Despite the crowds during peak season, this is the best way to truly see Venice. Highly recommended! ❤️AAnnika G
SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5The ACTV Vaporetto ticket service in Venice was excellent. Buying tickets was easy, the staff was friendly, and everything went quickly and smoothly. This allowed us to explore the city at our own pace and enjoy the rides on the vaporetti. Highly recommended!TTóth K
FamilyVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5It was great, but I had a few ideas, that could be improved. More toilets and audio guides in more languages would be nice. And maybe add some interactive elements for children, because the tour for an 8 year old it was too long, and kind of "boring".SSara S
SoloVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Very convenient and fast. It makes getting around much easier, especially when traveling by boat. I'll definitely use it again as soon as I'm back in town.DDr. Glück U
SoloVerified bookingJul 20265/5All 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.
