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

When I booked, I noticed that the starting point was very far from my hotel. I tried the Representative who gave me a starting point that was 3 minutes away and an approximate time. I was informed that I would receive an email informing me of the meeting point and the exact time after 3pm the day before. I never received the e-mail and I still went to the departure point on the morning of departure. Arriving at the scene, there were a few people waiting for the boat taxi. They had received an email the day before. When the taxi arrived, he had a list with the names of the clients to board. We weren't on the list. I had to argue with the driver, show him my reservation on the app etc...and after 10 minutes, he finally agreed to have us on board. A stress I would have really done without.
