We were in Venice for 7 days and had the 7-day pass. There is no better way to explore every last corner of Venice, whether it's trips to Burano, Murano, Lido or the daily short trips. You can walk through the narrow streets without worrying until you are tired - at the end you get back on the vaporetto and return to your hotel. And if your feet don't feel up to it, you can choose a long tour along the Grand Canal and relax while admiring the colorful hustle and bustle and the incredible scenery. The timetables are clearly laid out, easy to plan using google services if you want to travel further afield and therefore want to plan changes, and the vaporetto pass, which you only have to swipe through the scanner, is very easy to use. 100% recommended.

We purchased the 3 day pass for 45 euros. One of our party members was under 29, so purchased the rolling Venice card with the 3 day vaporetto pass, which cost him 33 euros in total, and also meant him getting big savings on entry to many tourist sites. The passes were straightforward to collect from the ACTV machines at the airport, just type in the PNR code from your confirmation email and the pass is produced. It is then so handy to be able to hop on and off any vaporetto at any stop, including travelling to the islands of Murano, Burano, Lido etc. Although we did lots of walking during our time in Venice we also made lots of vaparetto trips, meaning the price of the pass was well worth it, and saved us lots of money in the long run.

I advise everyone to buy the multi-day biliet and not the daily one, the vaporetto is a great means of transportation they pass by all the time it allows you to visit more areas of Venice and the view of all those palaces while moving is wonderful! In addition, the ticket can be used indefinitely throughout the day and is activated the moment it is first obliterated until the end of the days established before the purchase of the ticket I purchased the 24-hour one at the price of 35 ero and it is convenient considering that if taken daily it costs 10 euros each way.

We bought the 7-day ticket and used it during our 5-day stay. It was perfect. We could just hop on anywhere and travel as far as we wanted. We would buy it again in a heartbeat as it was very convenient to be so flexible. For example, we went to Burano, Murano and Lido. We also used the ticket in all six Sestriere of Venice

I am referring to the frequency of the vaporetto rides, I happened to be there during the election and on Saturday the rides were really reduced making us change our previously planned routes. The biggest inconvenience stems from the fact that we were not informed of this except on the spot particularly at the Giardini stop of the vaporetto
