We got this for 3 days and honestly, it was worth it for the transport alone. Vaporetto rides are fun but pricey if you’re buying single tickets all the time. The pass made it easy. Our favorite was Murano, loved the glass blowing demo. The meeting points are easy to find, but the app glitched once and I had to ask a local for help. Still, saved us loads of time.

Perfect for families! We didn’t have to think twice about what to do, just showed up and enjoyed. Loved skipping the line at Doge’s Palace with the kids—felt like VIPs. Only wish the gondola ride lasted longer.

It was a mixed group with several interpreters. It worked really well. Wonderful boat trip. Our English interpreter David explained the history of Venice very amusingly and gave good tips. MURANO and especially Burano are great!
