Needed some transport from the city to the airport but didn't really want to get the train or bus as we were staying in St Marks square which is a long way from the stations. Easy to book online and compared to a taxi at 200 Euros it's geat value at 70Euros for two people. They pick up from the taxi rank and we're on time with a friendly reception. The boats hold about 10-12 people but plenty of room, the trip takes about 50 minutes to the airport from where we got on which is the furthest stop and picks others up on the way. Well recommended

Only way to enter the historic and beautiful city of Venice is by water taxi. You are missing the essence of the city if you do not use the water taxi. We made reservations at the H10 Palazzo Canova and the water taxi took us to its dock. You can feel the majestic city as you travel from the airport into the Grand Canal. The service was perfecto, thank you for your hospitality and great service.

It's not easy to get to Venice from the airport and to try and figure it out once there is a nightmare. This solution took a lot of the stress out of it - all we had to do was find the right desk and off we went. Luckily, we stayed righ on the grand canal and the vaporetto stop was right in front of oyur hotel.

    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

    This is a great way to get to the airport from Venice. We had a 6am flight so the Vaporetto was not an option. Our contact for the transportation was easy to get ahold of when I had a question and he was exactly on time to pick us up.
