Very smooth transfer right to our hotel door. We were slightly concerned as our flight was delayed (we did ring to alert them to this) and then it took ages (nearly 2hrs - 1 star, to get through customs) in the end though this didn’t create a problem. Very happy with the service provided.

Completely stress free and easy to navigate to from baggage claim to check in desk (#71 near exit) to dock. A shared ride with other tired and excited travelers kept it fun, and a little preview of the city as you float through the grand canal and exit at the dock nearest to your hotel. Much appreciated!

Reception and check in at Venice airport was fine. Given map with directions for boat operator. The operator was supposed to drop us off at Dragan birth in front of our hotel and next to Ca D’Oro. However, as we got close said the birth was occupied, instead dropped us at the Rialto Bridge. We had long walk back with all our bags, with tight walkways/bridges and many people. Would have been better off with the public water taxi from the airport. Much cheaper and would have dropped us off closer (standard stops) without all the stress.

Follow the signs in the airport to water transportation, and you can’t miss all the boats queued up to take visitors into the city. This was a hassle-free and fun way to enter Venice!

Excellent service! Didn’t have to wait long for our shared taxi and I think worth every penny.

Kept us waiting for a boat for 45 minutes and then delivered all passengers to San Marco Square and not to the hotel as expected. Boat was old and not as depicted in the ad.

Good mode of transport between airport and hotel. A bit daunting being dropped at a pier in the dark even if you do have a map. Timings on pickup were delayed causing some what concern to ensure we got to the airport on time. Tried to contact via message but ended up phoning and was told that taxi was delayed. Would be good to be informed of this prior via Whats App or similar to elevate concerns. Still got to the airport on time and all went smoothly.

A very efficient service, the Viator desk was easy to find. Our flight was late arriving 2030 the lady at the desk was very friendly. The water taxi was waiting for us and delivered us to our hotel on Murano.
