Water Taxi Tour

The ride took just over an hour but we used it as an opportunity to get lay of the land and took so many photos!

Condescending jerks

The employees are condescending jerks. You ask a question and they answer you like you're an idiot. Unfortunately I have a round trip with them but under no circumstances anyone should use them.

Totally undependable to get you to airport on time

Bought tickets for a specific date and time to rode from Venice to Marco Polo Airport for a flight. Thank goodness we opted for an earlier than we needed (or so we thought) boat. When the boat arrived at our specified time, they pulled up briefly to say the boat was full and another had been called. Fifteen minutes later the second boat pulled up; it too was full. Passengers at our stop were starting to panic. Eventually (30 minutes later) the next scheduled boat pulled up and a very few people managed to muscle their way on, us included, but the majority of passengers (and there were many by this time, building up from two scheduled departure times) were left behind. Operators totally unconcerned. Inexcusable; Alilaguna knows the capacity of their boats and how many tickets they have sold in advance. They were selling at least four times as many tickets as they had actual spaces for. I can’t imagine how many people must miss their flights due to this operation. Highly recommend taking a bus instead.
