Poor communication

1.00The team needs better communication with the customers , I had to get Viator customer agent to call them in order for them to tell me pick up details for the following morning , then the morning of I was supposed to he picked up at 0630 and the clock read 0640 and no one to be found, so I called a number they gave me and a guy answered saying he doesn’t know anything and they have no available boats , finally someone showed up as I was on the phone ; poor communication within the team and with customers

Water taxi link from Venice to Marco Polo airport

5.00Excellent communication in informing us the afternoon beforehand the time of departure and exact taxi dock next to the Rialto. The water taxi arrived on time and the driver helped us with all of our luggage onboard. The trip to the airport was just over 30 minutes giving us good time to get a meal and drink before our flight home to Manchester.

Will not use again!

1.00The captain was so rough with my luggage he broke both the handle and one corner off the suitcase. Clearly in a foul mood yanking aggressively on the poor thing! Secondly, they only gave acknowledgment and timing for the departure the evening before, after I reached out. Finally, minimum passengers they accept is 2 persons, so as a solo traveler I had to pay for two tickets. Will absolutely not use again and I can not recommend
Beware of Alilaguna
Baszunia,Feb 20, 2026

1.00Many of the reviews on here are not for Alilaguna ferries but for the private water taxis or the Venice island ACTV ferries. This is about the private ferry airport transfer service. Firstly. They say that they are reliable. That depends on your definition of reliable. They seem to run on time but don't expect there to be space on your ferry. About a dozen of us tried to get the ferry to the airport to make our flights but when it arrived it didn't even attempt to pull in. Crew just shouted that it was full and we would have to wait 30 minutes for another one but could not guarantee that there would be space on that one. They didn't seem to care and when I complained to Alilaguna afterwards they just dismissed me saying that it was a ferry and nothing could be done. Fortunately one of our group was fluent in Italian and was able to get a shared water taxi to get us to the airport. If they hadn't and we had relied on Alilaguna we would all have missed our flights. Alilaguna might be ok for getting into Venice when time is not such an issue, but don't rely on them when you have a flight to catch. Moral of the story? Get a bus or a shared water taxi instead
