We were the first to get picked up,then more and some more people, dropping off others too, to a different location. We cruised around Venice before we headed to the airport. It would've been 20 mins if it was a straight shot to the airport from Todaro, but took us at least 1.5 hours after all the pickup and drop off of other passengers. But it was a nice tour of the backyards of Venice. Good thing was that the airport process was smooth and efficient.

The water taxi pickup went as scheduled. They notified me the night before of the pickup time and location.

The best way to end your vacation! The pick up taxi was right on time and we enjoyed a lovely boat ride through Venice on our way to the airport.

We were assigned "Trinita" water taxi pier for a 1040A departure. Very difficult to find on a map and no signage whatsoever. Finally found it and arrived 10Mins early. Apparently the trash boats also use this pier hauling away the trash from the 5 star hotels. In addition it also serves as delivery pier. The water taxis started lining up but couldn't dock so they left. Finally the trash and delivery boat left allowing the water taxis to dock. Some of the group missed their flights and some were late. We left at 1120A This was an absolute joke.

No contact for details of time and place of pick up for departure were given? Should have been the afternoon before our leaving date but we were not given this information.

Unfortunately the transfer was approximately 30minutes later than expected by the time other people were collected from different locations, we were late arriving at the airport causing a great deal of stress

Sadly , we needed to leave earlier than the time that was given us. I tried to change to an earlier time but to no avail. No one was responding to my need to change. Our flight was at 12 and we were given an 8:25 pick up and then 9:25. We wanted to get to the airport and not feel rushed. Security lines were long- custom tax rebate too. Airline said to get there three hours prior. Ended up hiring a water taxi at carbon rialto for additional 150 euro. Not sure I can recommend- We did take transfer from airport to Venice and that was seamless.

If anything goes wrong know the boat drivers will not accommodate and it’s impossible to contact the company. Our pickup location was inaccessible due to city boats and boat driver was incredibly rude.

This was a Shared Water Taxi from Venice to the Airport. There was some confusion as to Exactly where the meeting place was due to a lack of specific information (for a first time traveler). However, the Taxi was at the general area on time and he called out my name to let us know it was the correct vessel. The driver loaded and unloaded the luggage for us. It was a smooth, uneventful trip to the airport. Driver even took our luggage off the ramp into the airport for us. Well worth the money to avoid the crowded Water bus.
