Driver was there on time and easy to find where we needed to be picked up. The taxi was clean and they were not a lot of other people.

A great way to get to Venice. The dock is about 15 mins walk from airport Arrivals. Presented the voucher to the ticket office and boarded the boat. We made a couple of stops to drop other passengers off, but reached St. Marks square in about 30 minutes. Most passengers had carry on baggage so larger cases may be a proble.

We really enjoyed the boat to the airport. How better to leave Venice? We needed to leave a little earlier than scheduled and they were able to accommodate us. Super service. I’d recommend to everybody without a doubt!

It was ok. 12 people with luggage was very tight and there was a risk of loosing a suitcase overboard. Driver was not good at communicating onboarding process and was rude and patronising. Did not deserve a tip!

Pick-up and transfer worked well (although there was initially a misunderstanding in the scheduling). The driver wasn't too friendly though.

We were picked up exactly at the time and location they told us; if you request a specific time, however, they will not only ignore your phone calls and text messages/emails, they will tell YOU what time they're coming to get you based on your flight information. So, if you need to visit the VAT refund desk, want to enjoy the first-class lounge before your flight, or otherwise want to arrive at the airport early to ensure you get through security with plenty of time to spare, book a different ride.

Super easy friendly staff transferred nice - small downside to go considering the size of two people tight as sardines on the way back everything was just perfect
