Shared boat transfer from Venice Marco Polo Airport to San Marco, Rialto, or Piazzale Roma, timed for an easy hotel drop off.

“Make sure you get the voucher before you make the 10 minute journey on the moving walkways down to the waterway, otherwise you will have to go all the way back. We have booked this previously and there were 6 of us on the boat, and it was a great way to arrive in Venice. This time, they put 12 of us in the boat, plus all the cases, and it was a horrendous journey! Our case and contents got soaking wet, the boat was so low in the water with too many people, and the driver had to rearrange everyone to stop it being lopsided! It was a 50…”

Our driver was there 30 minutes before our scheduled pick up time, helped us with our luggage into the car and at the airport by getting us a cart, walked us into the terminal to our check in area. Highly recommend them. Cost for 2 of us with a Mercedes SUV was more than half what our cruise line charged for a 48 passenger bus transfer.”

“Transportation from point to point was successful. The captain of our water taxi was absolutely awesome. I wish I had gotten his name. We then transferred to the vehicle that took us to the airport. This portion of the trip was less than satisfactory. Our driver, Stefano, was impatient and fairly negative towards our elder family members. He actually pushed one of our members to get her to move into the van faster. He was on his cell phone, talking the entire drive to the airport and showed no courtesy at all to the passengers. He complained a lot!!”

Private transfer from Marco Polo Airport to Venice cruise terminal with a name-sign driver, luxury Mercedes ride, and fast port drop-off.

“A professional driver was there to pick us up plane was 30 min. late on arrival in baggage claim and took our bags to the car and we arrived at the cruise terminal drop off. This is the best way to get to the cruise terminal with no waiting for a bus to load and you dragging your luggage to and from the bus and cruise terminal hope it's not raining because it's not covered in bus area. The bus drop off area can have long lines. This transfer is a great way to start your vacation with less stress!”
