There is one negative point because my ticket was stolen when I first used it and a woman who speaks Italian received four different pieces of information from four different employees. 1st answer: Yes, you should go to the sales point at Rialto Bridge. 2nd piece of information there: You would first have to report it to the police. 3. Information at the train station: I can only get a ticket for one day as a temporary measure. 4. Information at Fondamenta Nove: I need a new ticket because the 7-day ticket is not personalized. This was probably the correct information because, unlike the Venice Card, the ticket is not personalized—but it would be worth considering for a 7-day ticket. Thank you.

When we arrived at the airport, we headed to the docks. Someone from Alilaguna showed us where to wait for the boat and scanned our tickets (printed from the internet—no exchange necessary). We arrived at St. Mark's Square with no trouble at all. On the return trip (from San Marco), the staff didn't seem to know the service provider, but we were able to board the boat without any difficulty after a few minutes of gathering information. Once at the airport, we were directed to the ticket office to exchange our stamped tickets... unnecessary, but no worries and no significant loss of time.

The purchasing process went smoothly, as did the ticket issuance at the ticket machines in front of the Venice station. The only issue is that I bought two tickets, but the machine printed only one, which said "2 USER" (incidentally, both tickets had the same code). The conductor told me I needed two tickets, and when I pointed out the above, he said I would be in violation of the rules. So even if the tickets have the same code, please print two separate tickets instead of one labeled “2 USER.”

Amazing service! Everything was very well organized from start to finish. Clear instructions, easy boarding, and a smooth, comfortable ride. The water bus transfer from Marco Polo Airport to Venice City was the perfect way to arrive — relaxing and with stunning views along the way. The staff was friendly and professional, the boat was clean, and the whole experience was stress-free. Highly recommended and would definitely use this service again!

As always, I used Alilaguna for the transfer from Marco Polo Airport to my hotel on the Canale della Giudecca. It's a wonderful way to arrive in Venice at a leisurely pace and slowly say goodbye again. I also really appreciate that the staff are very friendly and helpful, assisting me with my heavy suitcase and offering a hand when I board the boat, which gently rocks in the waves.

When we arrived at Venice airport the queue for the boat was long, probably a popular time, Friday lunchtime , but the queue did move quite quickly and within 30 minutes we were aboard. We got seats, our vaporetto stop was the 2nd one so the trip took around 30 mins. It's definitely the best way to start a break in Venice, better than getting the bus or train, in my opinion much more atmospheric and quite good value for money.

Super easy service..straight off the flight and after a 10 minute walk I was on the water taxi amd winging my way to Venice. I had a superb day trip to Venice amd returned in the evening again via the water taxi. Pre booking saved me a lot of money and I would happily recommend this service to everyone.

Fantastic and relatively cheap way to get around Venice especially as we were there for a week. Boats are frequent and through different routes you get get anywhere including the other islands. Great way to see and experience the City but can get busy at times and on the Grand Canal.

Excellent service. There were two of us, and we bought 24-hour tickets that we used quite a bit. Venice is beautiful when viewed from the vaporetto, and a ticket like this lets you get on and off wherever you want. The staff was friendly. There are plenty of stops. We highly recommend it!
