Quick and easy! Simply excellent. Using the code provided after booking, I went to a ticket machine in front of the Venezia S. Lucia station, entered the code, and that was it! In seconds, I had the tickets in my hand. I used them all day to travel back and forth to the islands without any problems. 100% recommended!

Simple and intuitive. It’s convenient that the ticket is printed at the machines. It would just be nice if the staff at the information desks smiled a bit more.

    The ferry ride itself was great other than super crowded and nowhere to sit. The issue I had was there is no real direction on what doc to go to for the ferry to go over to Murano and Burano. So we had to kind of struggle and figure that out on our own.
