Everything went great. The boat taxi was 5 minutes early. Loaded 6 people with lots of luggage. The driver was very helpful. Met us at the boat and we were on our way in few minutes. The van was clean and comfortable. Rained hard but his driving was good. Didn’t follow too close. Never a worry. I would recommend and use again. Thanks for great ride. Rick C

I'm a travel advisor, and my guests spoke very highly of their experience with their Venice to Trieste transfer including the water taxi pick up! They shared everything ran smoothly, the drivers were prompt and kind, and they enjoyed the experience. Will recommend to guests again in the future!

Excellent service

Margaret_A, Nov 2025

Excellent service. Super friendly and on time. Was nervous about this but everything worked perfectly.

Picked us up 30 min late,...

Terina_N, Oct 2025

Picked us up 30 min late, and the kid was a very new driver. If you asked him a question he drove 40. And the next minute he was driving 140. Made us car sick. Nice kid though

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the ride wasn’t as smooth as expected. Just as you felt comfortable asking the driver questions during the trip, we kindly note that you could have also shared your concerns with him directly — he would have been more than happy to adjust and make you feel comfortable. As for the speed: in Italy, the motorway speed limit is 130 km/h, with a legal tolerance of +10%, which makes 143 km/h still within the allowed range — so, technically, oops, he was just at the limit. We’re sorry you didn’t feel at ease to speak up in the moment. He’s actually a very kind and responsible young driver, and we appreciate your comment that he was nice. Thank you again, and we hope to see you on board next time. Best regards, Ciprian

Excellent!

Great Service

RANDY_S, Oct 2025

Both the boat pilot who picked us up at the hotel and the driver, Marcelo were punctual, very helpful and pleasantly professional. They got us to our destination in plenty of time and made it a pleasant journey.

Great experience: friendly & knowledgeable service!

Jennifer_V, Sep 2025

Our driver was great! Very friendly & knowledgeable about the areas we traveled to: we were picked up in Venice and traveling to Trieste. Our driver shared interesting information about life in the Veneto region & historical information about Trieste. He even stopped at a picturesque spot on the way so I could take pictures. Also, customer support was great and very responsive. It was a great experience. I will use this service again!

Great ride

Transfer was easy....

Shari_W, Sep 2025

Transfer was easy. Arranged for the boat from the hotel for us and it was very uneventful which is what we were looking for.

Great Transfer from Venice to Port of Trieste

Janet_M, Sep 2025

I was so worried about scheduling this and everything went off as planned. Every time I emailed this company I received an answer almost immediately. We had one little hiccup because of the weather but everything ended up perfect. Thank you for everything.

Stress free transfer
