Take the shared taxi, the public transportation was packed like sardines. It’s more expensive but well worth it if travelling with luggage. Picked us up close to the hotel.

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 👎👎👎👎👎
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.
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!!
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.
It was an easy transfer from the water taxi stop near our hotel to the train station. There were no problems and it was a smooth process.
Very easy to use. Information about the transfer received in plenty of time. Highly recommended. Value for money.
Travel from the hotel to the train station via water taxi was pretty painless. Although they didn’t pick us up where we asked, and they said they would, they did let us know with plenty of time, where they would and it wasn’t that far. They were very close to being on time as well. The rest of the trip to the train station (from San Marco) was a quick 10-15 min pleasant ride. Unlike our trip from the airport to Venice, this ride was very very good.
It was terrible. I was supposed to get picked up at my hotel in Venice then a day before it turned into the Grand Canal.
I was staying no where near there.
There were 4 ladies in late 60’s with luggage.
But here’s the kicker it was supposed to be an 8 am pickup time. And 12 hours before I was asking where and no one could tell me.
At 8 am I still didn’t know where.
At 8:15 am I cancelled and had to get the hotel to order us a last minute taxi.
I requested a refund because they could not supply me an address and no one at Viator could either or get hold of the boat.
Do not book on Viator.
Pick up near the Rialto Hotel was on time and it was only a 15 minute water taxi trip to the Train Station
The driver was very helpful with our luggage. We could not get on boat from our landing suggested we walk over the bridge to an easier Point to board
They do not pick you up at your hotel. If you have any significant luggage it is not possible to get to the pick up site easily. The add says hotel pick up. I put our hotel's name in and received a confirmation. After the refund cut off time I was told of a different meeting point
The water taxi was right on time the instructions the day before was really helpful and the driver was also helpful and very polite! Would use again.
Great choice for getting from the city to the train station! They emailed a confirmation and map for the pickup point, was right on time. The captain was very helpful and courteous. Picked up a few more passengers then headed for the station. Comfortable ride, like a nice little canal excursion. Highly recommend.
Operator did not pickup call and did not inform pickup time. Leaving us no choice to book a new transfers. He called 15 mins before pickup the time. By the time we booked new transfer as we were afraid we would miss our train. Very irresponsible and bad service.
Our water taxi was right where we were told it would be near our hotel. The driver was courteous and helped us in and out of the taxi. The ride was quick and easy.
Best guide ever!!! Intelligent and aware. Saw Diocletian Palace Museum inside palace, With great guide commentary. Gorgeous Split Countryside with beach and pretty restaurant With local FoodAnd
Music near a countryside
River. Great private museum tour of famous local artist as museum was officially closed that day. We’ll worth the money.
I reserved a 6:00 am pick up to take us to the Venice train station.
We were at the dock at 5:30 am and waited until 6:30 and no one showed.
I went into the Viator app and discovered a message from the water taxi provider that they had us in the schedule for a 4:00 am pickup (which I never saw)
Why in the world would I want to pay $77 for a 4:00 am pickup to travel to the train station only 15 minutes away to make a 7:30 am train when a private water taxi costs $80???
Don’t book this! It’s very easy to book a water taxi thru your hotel which I soon found out after wasting an hour waiting on the water taxi which never arrived.
Also, my hotels bellmen who are stationed at the dock of our hotel told us no one even showed at 4:00 am
The experience was great! People were professional. I have no complaints, and I highly recommend. When in Venice, and looking for transportation, use this service.
Pick up was right on time. Very easy way to ride through Venice to train station. Much cheaper than private taxi.
It was just what we had hoped for. The tour operator contacted us with our pick time and location, we got there about 3 minutes early and there they were!! All though it was a shared taxi, there was only us and another couple (we've been trying to stay away from crowds). The drivers were courteous and friendly helping to load our luggage and ourselves on and off the taxi. We'll use this service if we're ever in Venice again.
Super easy, always on time, great prices. Highly recommend! This is a much cheaper option than private transfer and just as quick and easy.
The views from the boat were amazing! The driver of the boat did an amazing job navigating the canals among the various boats. He was very friendly and helpful suggestions… Great welcome to Venice!!
The water taxi and driver were good. The company's customer service was terrible. The lady I talked to was very rude and accused me of lying. I would never recommend a company that treats their customers the way I was treated.
Take the shared taxi, the public transportation was packed like sardines. It’s more expensive but well worth it if travelling with luggage. Picked us up close to the hotel.
This water taxi driver was much more smooth on the turns and the controls in general. It felt like he knew what he was doing as well as how fast to go so water didn't get inside the boat on the way to the train station. The water taxi is a great way to get around Venice as long as the driver is good. I would recommend using the water taxi as the source f transportation when inVenice because its fast and convenient due to the canal system.
We requested a 5:55 AM pick up time and we received confirmation for 6:15 AM. Even when I wrote to ask questions - we didn't receive a response back. If you are flexible on your time and don't mind being crammed in to a water Taxi with as many people as they can fit - this would work for you.
Raining, construction boats at our pickup dock. Taxi prompt, on time, had the boats move, tied up and was very careful with us and our bags. Picked up 6 others, got to chat. Rain stopped so pass. Cabin doors opened. No issue disembarking. Good job.
the pickup was early which was great and the boat captian was friendly and helpful and everything worked out great.
We were met promptly at the meeting point and dropped off at the train station. It was exactly what we expected, the transfer was only a few minutes late and we were there early in the morning therefore did not have to worry about the heavy traffic on the grand canal.
It was not clear to me where the pick up was we missed the boat
