Very easy to utilise.Upon arrival at the airport With yr voucher yu go to the first floor direction to the taxi boat water terminal. Yu will see when still in the airport building on the left the office 71 Bucintoro where yu will show yr voucher. They will ask yu yr hotel and they will show yu where they will drop yu. They will give yu a ticket where is indicate the berth no and the taxi boat number.From there yu carry on quite a long way to reach the water terminal. For the return yu will receive an email to give yu the place of pick up ( the same than the one where they dropped yu on the arrival) and at which time they will pick yu up and the taxi boat number. All went on smoothly and no waiting time

I got food poisoning the night before we left, and had no way to contact Viator to set up a new time for the water taxi. No phone number available to call. We had to pay another water taxi out of our pocket to get us to the airport. Looking to get a refund for this.

Disorganised. We had to walk well over 2 km to pick up the water taxi and then taken back to our hotel where another couple were picked up. Why couldn’t we have done this. They also booked VIATOR !!!!!!!!! At the pick up point we could have paid just €20 euros not the €75 we paid Disgraceful and shoddy organisation and feel ripped off. DO NOT USE VIATOUR

It was our first time experiencing Venice, I came across this transfer by chance and booked. My daughter and I couldn’t fault our drivers, they picked us up from our hotel on time. Communication was fantastic the company emailed our hotel the afternoon before to let us know the plans. Our drivers were welcoming and helpful. It was a lovely way to end our trip! Thank you.

THIS IS A SCAM. You almost made my family miss their flight because your tour operator didn’t show up at the arranged time to take us to the airport and now won’t refund our money! Awful and will be pursuing legal action.

Excellent way to travel between the airport and central Venice. Good value and great experience. Sir use the water bus as there are some terrible reviews . A shared taxi is affordable and convenient
