    Terrible Venice water taxi service

    Absolutely no communication on pickup times and the customer service does not answer the phone. The chat is worthless and unable to help me. Five thumbs down 👎👎👎👎👎

    Get it get you where you need to go but except friendliness

    The ride was better going to the train station then the pick up a few days earlier. My best complaint is there is zero communication with the driver. He was not friendly at all.

    Poor Service without any compensation!!!

    It was my error not noticing you had to travel to get picked up. For 7 of us it meant 2 blocks of crossing bridges taking a water bus to there location. Since I didn’t have cell service I missed this detail and they wouldn’t work with me as there was no way 7 of us could make it in time. We ended taking the water bus directly to the train station in 1/4 of the time. If I had known this we would have done that to begin with and saved the $$$ this company charges. Never heard of you meeting a taxi before and they were so cheap wouldn’t give us any kind of refund even though we tried numerous was to contact them saying there was no possible way of 5 seniors with suitcases could make it! Check your maps for the local water bus and all the details of this service before booking. Poor customer service and such and huge cost for 7 of us!! Don’t use them unless it’s your hotel they pick up at. Lugging suitcases up and down the stairs is a nightmare!!

    Cost effective

    Ali Laguna is a cost effective way to and from Marco Polo airport to st marks Venice. It takes about 75 mins which is significantly longer than a water taxi. Recommend you book tickets in advance at peak times.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking time out of your day to write this review! Your feedback is important to us! We are pleased to hear that you had such a good experience with us! We appreciate the fact that you liked the quality-price ratio. We hope you enjoyed Venice! If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. Regards, Bucintoro Viaggi

    Service and price don’t match

    Expensive short trip, same price as the trip from Airport to hotel! and Pick up way too early, it could be at least 1 hour later.

    Shared Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.

    How much does Shared Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Shared Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.

    Is Shared Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Shared Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Shared Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Shared Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station?

    +

    Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 0.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Shared Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Venice?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Venice?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Venice?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
