What a great way to start a trip to magical city on water, venice. Amazing experince which gives a kisk to the start. Everthing from.chexk.in to ride to disembarkment was a breeze and you enjoy your ride thorughly. The personnel.at the ticketing counter as well as at the boat are nice and polite. Highly recomend to ise this service!!!

The shared ride on the water taxi into Venice was nice, but it wasn't clear that we had to go first to a counter insidie the airport instead of the docks. That caused a long walk out to the docks with luggage, then back into the airport. Then we had to wait for the other passengers. That's fine and to be expected. The man at the counter was not pleasant, however, and acted as if we should just sit quietly and ask no questions. It was our first trip to Venice, so we had questions.

It was uncrowded and the captain took good care of us. Much nicer than trying to get to the bus station and much quicker than the Aligugina
