What's included in this transfer?

Your booking includes a private luxury van from Marco Polo Airport to the water taxi departure point, plus a private water taxi ride directly to your hotel in Venice city center. Your driver will meet you at arrivals.

How long does the transfer take?

The total journey from airport to hotel is approximately 40 minutes, depending on traffic to the water dock and canal routes to your destination.

Is the driver provided?

Yes, a professional driver will meet you at Venice Marco Polo Airport arrivals and transfer you to the water taxi, then you'll have a separate water taxi operator for the canal portion.

Can I use this if my hotel is outside Venice city center?

This service is designed for hotels in Venice city center (the island proper). Hotels on the mainland or in suburbs like Mestre would not be suitable for the water taxi portion—contact the supplier to confirm your accommodation.

What if I have a lot of luggage?

Private water taxis accommodate standard travel luggage. Oversized items or excess bags should be reported at booking so the operator can confirm feasibility; tight canal navigation may limit space for very large pieces.

How early do I need to book?

Book at least 24 hours in advance to allow the supplier and your hotel to coordinate the precise water taxi pickup point at your accommodation.

our driver Beatriz really knew their stuff and the driver waiting with my name on a sign was the highlight, and used it for our summer trip.

our driver Carla sorted everything for us and help with the bags at both ends was the highlight, and mid-week so it was quiet.

our driver Marco sorted everything for us and the driver waiting with my name on a sign was the highlight. Went last tuesday so it wasnt too busy. Blew our rome one out of the water, and good as a half-day option, and tracked my delayed flight. Would book again no question, 10/10
