Good way to enter Venice

Good transfer but long walk from airport and quite a queue before boarding

Stressful boat transfer

Ticket collection was easy but from there on became a stressful experience, we arrived at 10.00am so did all the other morning flights, if your at the end of the orange route Q expect to wait 1.5-2 hours min as the small boat holds 30-40 max going every 30min and 1 hour journey. On the return 4pm we went to the first stop on route map so to get on and thank goodness we did as the boat didn’t stop at 2 stops leaving people stranded waiting for the next boat 30min later. Seemed very disorganised and chaotic. Bus service much better and cheaper. For stress free use bus or book a private boat

Drivers are horrible

I have to admit they are cheap and it’s a good way to get to the airport. However, on the way to and from the airport I’ve never met a more ruder person in my life. They just scream at you, hey, luggage over there, take it with you, sit down… I thought it was the driver to Venice but the driver back to airport was another rude person. Venice strives off tourism and what would this city do without tourists??? Treat them better please. Talk to us nicer. We are all lost and confused and having the driver talking to you crazy is not going to help. I honestly wanted to grab both of them by the neck…. So sad when we bring tourism to you….

Highly recommend, quick, easy and frequent

The water buses in Venice were fantastic! They were quick, easy to use, and came very frequently, so we never had to wait long to get one. A really convenient and stress-free way to get around Venice. Highly recommend!

Quick mode of transport to outer areas of Venice. As there are no buses or taxis on land the water taxi can take you closer than a bus service.
