We enjoyed our water taxi (vaporetto) ride from the Airport to our Hotel. The ride was safe and fun. The water taxi dropped us off right in front of our Hotel, when was right next to St. Mark’s Square. Helpful hint: There was no ticket or information booth on the dock, so when you get to the dock in the Airport, be sure to: (1) approach one of the water taxi drivers on the dock right away; (2) show them your voucher/ticket so they can see which tour company you booked with; and (3) ask them which water taxi is yours or which dock you should be standing on to wait for your water taxi to arrive.

Getting to the kiosk or desk 71 was a little bit tough but know that you must go through the sliding glass doors follow the hallway to the escalator go up turn left left and keep going straight til you see the desk or kiosk on the left side it will have a sign there saying 71 and another number . Although it was a bit of a walk to the boats your up for it after flying for 8 hours The boat is a somewhat snug but who cares your in Venice

Despite pre booking you do still have to queue to report in and wait for a taxi.
Signposting to the check in desk clear and easy to find, staff friendly and helpful.
Our boat was shared with around 6 other people but plenty of room for all our luggage. Less mobile people may find the water taxi a bit difficult as the head room in the boat is quite low ( and I’m quite short).
So exciting to arrive by boat going up the Grand Canal - Definitely the way to arrive in Venice especially if your first visit!

Lovely way to travel from the airport. Easy to find the desk(up the escalator and straight to the end). We got dropped off within minutes of the hotel .

Overcrowded transfer (12 passengers plus at least 15 suitcases). No-one to meet us. Waited around for 30-45 minutes as it was totally confusing who was to take us. We never received any tickets but that didn't seem to bother them as they had our booking ref. Arrived in the end but it was indeed memorable for all the wrong reasons. Cramped, claustrophobic and unpleasant.

Flight was delayed 2 hours but still honoured transfer. It was quick, easy and stress free. Really simple to find, take escalators up to first floor then walk to the end of corridor, desk 71 clearly marked.

We bought the wrong tickets. We tried to explain to them that the process was not clearly explained to us. That we would buy new tickets. But there must be clearer explanation on the machines for other tourists. But they stayed impolite and said no ticket you get of the boat. There was no point communicating with them.

Venice is beautiful, the weather was perfect, loved it!! The Rialto hotel was in a great location, but needed better facilities in the room.

Boat to packed, and you could not see out of the windows due to the number of stickers and being seated to low.

It was a beautiful ride from the airport we dropped of a few passengers and then we were let off a few blocks from the hotel. It's one of a kind experience.
