We arrived in Venice by cruise ship (Regent Seven Seas Mariner - great). We booked in advance over the internet the fise from the port and a second ride to the airport the next day. Taxis were on time and did the job well. Very expensive, 80 Euros from port and 100 Euros to airport. There was no need to... More

I booked both of our water taxi trips - from the Venice airport to the Hilton Molino Stukey Hotel and from the Hotel to the Cruise Terminal - with Consorzio Motoscafi online and received a 10% discount. The initial trip was a HUGE experience for our 7 year old, as well as Mom and Dad, and well worth the 100... More

Caught a water taxi to and from the airport. Very luxurious, but expensive. For our return journey, I asked the hotel concierge to confirm the price of the return trip, which they did. 90 Euros. They confirmed this by telephone when they made the booking. When we arrived at the airport, the driver demanded 110, and shouted at and threatened... More

Very efficient service & got a discount when prebooked online, fantastic service, expensive but they all are, but worth it for the grand arrival in Venice. Boats were very cool & I would highly recommend this company. I would do this instead of the Gondola personally More

I pre booked my taxi transport to/from the train station and my hotel while staying in Venice. The service was prompt with a boat waiting for me when I deboarded the train. Online prepayment option gave me a lower price for the water taxi than what I would have gotten thru my hotel. I would use them again. More

Well, we wanted to pre-book a Watertaxi for a 2 hours tour. The reaction time to any requests was really like "It started in Naples" (although you are in Venice). Ocassionally you need to call them before they answered. It was terrible. They only accepted pre-bookings for a pier between St. Lucia Train Station and Piazzale Roma which was withdrawn... More

We booked a watertaxi from the airport to our hotel online (we had a lot of luggage as we were going to a wedding), but didn't book the return trip as we thought we might find other guests to share the trip back. This was a mistake! We had to pay 110 Euros in cash for the return trip, rather... More

We booked on-line to have a round trip from and to the Marco Polo Airport as we had my older father, and an early departure. When we arrived everything was ready, departure was also right on time, and the boat captain got my dad on and off with ease..they must have a lot of practice. The boats were beautiful and... More
