CoupleVerified booking3 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 booking3 weeks ago5/5The 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!RRoberto D
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5Easy to activate, affordable, and extremely convenient for getting around Venice. It covers both vaporetti and trains within the city, allowing you to travel freely without any worries. Just remember to validate it before each trip: the validation machines are always located at the entrances to stops and stations. Highly recommended!CConor S
SoloVerified booking3 days ago4/5I bought a 24 hour unlimited pass which was great. I got to see beautiful islands of Murano & Burano, as well as getting to whizz through the stunning Venice landmarks along the water. Would have been improved if I was supplied with a map of the different stops etc, but all in all a great experience and will use again!!LLecorps T
GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago4/5The schedules are followed, and the people on board are friendly. So it's great. Tickets purchased online should be accessible directly on a smartphone without having to go to a ticket window. Slightly lower prices for families would be a plus.
