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.

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

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.

    Fantastic architecture and history . Much bigger than I expected. Cafe was a nightmare though as the large space was for employees and there were limited tables for visitors
