Great for getting around Venice quickly and seeing it from a different perspective. It’s a chance to get off the beaten path. The only downside is that the pass isn’t valid for the ferry to Fusina—that costs an additional 15 euros. I’ll definitely use it again on my next visit.

I spent the day with my son, traveling from Punta Sabbioni to various islands. The water buses were always on time, and the staff both on land and on the boat were very helpful—plus, we saved a lot of money. I recommend this service. It was also easy to validate the ticket at the machines. Highly recommended

I bought a 24 hour unlimited pass which was great. I got to see beautiful islands of Murano & Burano, as well as getting to whizz through the stunning Venice landmarks along the water. Would have been improved if I was supplied with a map of the different stops etc, but all in all a great experience and will use again!!

Venice and the vaporetto—it was love at first trip! We rode along the Grand Canal, admired the palaces from the water, and the trip to the Lido was a special delight. Just 15-20 minutes from San Marco, and you're on a beautiful beach on the Adriatic. Returning in the evening at sunset is simply magical! Convenient, romantic, and very atmospheric. The 24-hour pass was a real lifesaver and saved me money. Despite the crowds during peak season, this is the best way to truly see Venice. Highly recommended! ❤️

All I can say is: GOOD AND AFFORDABLE. Everything went smoothly, from buying the ticket online to traveling by bus and vaporetto. The service is excellent. The vaporettos and buses run on time. We really enjoyed the vaporetto trips... you can hop on and off wherever you want. The stations are well marked, so you can't get lost. We'll be back. Thank you very much.

Easy to activate, affordable, and extremely convenient for getting around Venice. It covers both vaporetti and trains within the city, allowing you to travel freely without any worries. Just remember to validate it before each trip: the validation machines are always located at the entrances to stops and stations. Highly recommended!

The employees on the boat slammed the door shut on the passengers in a rude and crude manner. There was no staff at the boarding stations to control the number of people allowed to board. This shows a lack of respect for the passengers.
