All I can say is: GOOD AND AFFORDABLE. Everything went smoothly, from buying the ticket online to traveling by bus and vaporetto. The service is excellent. The vaporettos and buses run on time. We really enjoyed the vaporetto trips... you can hop on and off wherever you want. The stations are well marked, so you can't get lost. We'll be back. Thank you very much.

A one-day trip to Venice for four people. From the parking lot, it’s a 2-minute ride on the rapid transit train to the city center; we took trips to the islands of Murano and Burano and also cruised through the canals. Everything included in the price. Everything looks completely different from the water. And it’s a nice little break… plus you can see so much more than you would on foot… at each stop, there’s a staff member who’s happy to provide information… Value for money: 5 stars

The trip to Murano and Burano was really nice. We were able to make good use of everything. Unfortunately, it takes a while for everyone to understand this system—the fast and slow vaporetto lines. A link to a good, useful map would be helpful. Best regards, a family from Austria

It was our first time in Venice, and we bought a day pass. It was really convenient. We took the vaporetto several times. The wait times are short, and you can get from one place to another really quickly.

Great way to get around and to get great views of the city. Setting the city the way it is meant to be see. However, it can be crowded
