A great visit. Unhurried and not too long. Visitor numbers were kept to a level where it did not feel crowded. We loved the water bus rides too.

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!!

It was our first time in Venice, and we bought a day pass. It was really convenient. We took the vaporetto several times. The wait times are short, and you can get from one place to another really quickly.

Great. Easy to use, even at 4 a.m. There should be maps of the vaporetto routes available at the stations. Very helpful for us tourists.
