Traveler reviews
Don’t waste your time or money. Just take the bus
Purchased tickets from Venice to Marco Polo airport. Tickets didn’t scan and driver never showed up. Had to guy bus tickets and run with our luggage to catch the airport bus. Don’t waste your time with this service, especially when you have an early departure like we did.
2x too full, which is why we could not go along.
Traveled 2x, once from the airport to Venice. Could only have gotten on the 3rd boat (1.5 h wait time) because the boats were small and overcrowded. Because I was heavily pregnant, they kindly let us on the 2nd. boat (wait time 1 hour). The same thing on the return, the boat was full and they simply did not take us. To make our flight, we then traveled to Piazzale Roma and then took the bus to the airport. We will never do this again; it is simply too unreliable.
There was not much help...
There was not much help getting info on this. I would recommend buying for the Vapretto either on another site or in person. This was very hard to navigate and we never ended up using the taxi due to false direction given by the workers. Would not recommend.
Beautiful ride to San Marco
Arriving in the Marco Polo Airport, there were plenty of signs directing us to where we would find the Vaporetto/Alilaguna water transportation. The line was long but it moved quickly. The weather was beautiful and the ride was lovely.
Bad experience on drop-off in Venice from Airport
We booked the Alilaguna water taxi to take us from the airport to the area we were staying in Venice (by Piazza San Marco). My partner had researched it extensively before we arrived and was pretty sure we got off at their stop Giardinetti stop. However when he tried to confirm on the taxi where we should get off they said to get off at the third stop Ospedale so we did. That started the almost impossible trek to our hotel which was a very very long ways away by Piazzaz San Marco. We hauled our suitcases up and down so many bridge stairs and went down countless "back alleys". It was largely a very quiet area of Venice so really nobody to ask at first. We are 70 and 71 years old but very able bodied so we managed until our phones died roughly an hour after our journey started. By the time our phones died we were in the busier part of Venice and found a restaurant to rest, eat and recharge our phone. It was a very bad start to our Venice journey. Maybe we made a rookie mistake by not clarifying at the ticket office where to get off so my caution to anyone travelling with Alilaguna is to ensure you know the closest stop to your hotel before boarding the water taxi.
