I had a very pleasant experience with the vaporetto in Venice. It is the most practical and authentic way to get around the city, and the views from the Grand Canal are simply spectacular. I appreciated the punctuality, the frequency of the rides, and the fact that it is easy to understand even for tourists. It was also a special feeling to ride alongside the locals, feeling the real pulse of the city. I recommend anyone visiting Venice to try the vaporetto at least once – it is not just transportation, but part of the Venetian charm.

It was an awesome opportunity to see so much if Venice in a short time. We were able to catch water bus at any location and spent the day going around Venice using the buses. The directions and terminals were easy to figure out and it helped us see more of Venice, than if we traveled another way. The price if the ticket was resonable and quickly paid for itself.

Loved riding on the vaporetto. Truly a wonderful way to see Venice and it's surrounding communities, Murano and Burano. However... maybe the company could put on a few more boats. On one trip we were packed like sardines for 30 minutes, standing. Not a great experience.

Ride Venice’s water buses and land transport freely across the city, lagoon islands, and the mainland—no need to buy separate tickets.

Hop between Murano, Burano, Lido, and neighborhoods like Dorsoduro and Cannaregio without transport hassles.

Walk past the long queues and step into one of Venice’s golden masterpiece - the St. Mark's Basilica, without the wait.

Admire the opulent Byzantine interiors and glittering domes of the Basilica at your own pace.

This combo gives you priority access to Venice’s biggest highlight and unlimited public transport—all in one ticket.

Arrived at SANTA LUCIA station , the ticket office was just in front of the exit, it was the "only counter without a queue and in no time we were handed our passes, the rest of the day then was wonderful, beautiful day, although with a lot of people, but livable.

All very good. In my opinion, you could think of validating the ticket by qrcode to avoid having people look for a ticket office that is enabled
