We purchased the 3 day pass and what a great service. We just hopped on and off the vaperetto with ease and didn't have to think about the cost. We used the service a lot especially our free day to get to Murano, Burano and around the main part of Venice. Worth investing in if you do not want to fight the crowds and not worry about costs.

Very simple to book with Headout. The 72-hour pass is great for visiting Venice. Collecting the travel cards with the code sent is super easy. Efficient service, highly recommend!

This multi-day pass is great. We can go anywhere on the vaporetto by just tapping the pass on the ticket machine. It's so easy and convenient to not buy a ticket every time.

The use of this taxi service was great. You know what time they will arrive and how long to the drop off point. Don't be late as they will not wait for you.

The office indicated on the station square in Venice was of little help. The clerk said they used to be able to issue the tickets, but this was no longer possible due to a recent change. Fortunately, I found some kind tourists who helped me at the machine. Still, it would have been easier to just buy the 7-day vaporetto pass directly at the ticket counter without purchasing it in advance.

This 7 day pass was the best and smartest thing I did in Venice! This is my first visit to Venice in 40 years, and the ACTV pass made my trip easy and so worthwhile! I will definitely return to Venice sooner in the future, and I will always buy the wonderful ACTV pass!

All good in general, the only downside is that from Punta Sabbioni to the Lido there are only four bike spaces!! I had to wait 45 minutes to take the ferry. Regards
