    The ticket could be booked online in advance. Picking it up at the designated machine with the assigned code worked well. The tickets always worked reliably. The individual lines have a good frequency and are very reliable.

    Enjoyed the ease of getting on and off when needed and not having to worry about getting a separate ticket at each time we wanted to go somewhere. If in doubt about which taxi to get on, there was always somebody around to answer a question..

    Perfect way to see Venice . Use it as you would a hop on hop off. From circumnavigating on the 4+5 routes to enjoying the inner mini cruises on the 1+2 no better way to see this exceptional unique city. Also the added bonus of being able to access the islands of Murano and Burano on the same ticket it really is value for money and more.. I would highly recommend 👌it.

    It was FASCINATING!!!! I stayed 5 days and bought the Vaporetto ACTV Water Bus & Mainland Bus Pass for 7 Days. Very practical, I traveled with the Vaporeto several times a day, and even went to Murano, Burano, and Lido (didn't need another pass) . The hotel was in Mestre, and the buses ran all night, even on weekdays.
