Great experience and friendly driver. Got us to the airport on time and safely! Was nervous to book through 3rd party but glad I did! Was much more affordable than direct booking among the water taxis in Venice.

Driver was very nice and exactly on time, but the pick up time was not communicated until late the day before.

Our water taxi never arrived and we were forced to use another service to catch our flight home even after you confirmed our confirmation. I demand a full refund.

Directions are vague, no boat taxi number or pier location, just map which wasn’t accurate, but the rest was great. You can use the app to chat which was great for info concerning the pick up location.

Great service. Was picked up on time. Other traveller were also picked up. Great option to save money on the Taxi price as it can be expensive

Poor experience with terrible customer service. We were given a completely different pickup time than booked (4.5 hours before the flight) which was ridiculously early. We weren’t able to make the assigned pickup time as we were in a tour - not to forget we booked a pickup 1.5 hours later. The local provider said a refund can only be provided by Viator, Viator said a refund can only be provided by the local provider. Terrible customer service, money wasted, never again.

I was told to contact Bucintoro Viaggi 24-48 hours before departure to reconfirm or to notify them of any changes in our schedule. I called repeated for 2 days with no success. I was finally able to chat with someone on the Viator app who tied to contact them. They texted them but also got no response. This was just not acceptable. Thankfully we were able to make our flight but barely!

It’s a cheap way to get to and from the airport but it’s also long and boring taking about 75 mins from st marks square. Sweets uncomfy too. If at all possible club together and go on a water taxi. It’s more money but a real thrill not to mention quicker

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.
