What travelers are saying
- R from Finland2 contributionsThe drivers did not say a word at our stop, we were waiting patiently to safely get out as they did not tell us anything, but then we just left the dock... We had to get off at the next stop and wait for another boat that kindly took us without an extra ticket. I told the guys at Alilaguna that they should let people know when they can leave, but they did not even apologize 🙄Written May 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- millym320Dublin, Ireland55 contributionsPretty good service and cheaper than other transfer companies. We had to wait about 20 minutes at the airport before we boarded the boat but on the return journey the boat arrived promptly to collect us and bring us to the airport.Written May 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- giannis f28 contributionsIts better to shut down and do another job...you are not made to serve people.
I trusted your web site and your company to travel with you from venice on 27th November but you have no boat cause you simply explained that this is only during summer.
THEN PLEASE DO YOUR JOB AND GIVE THE INFO AT YOUR WEB SITE TOO.Written November 28, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Burano was really nice with all the colors and atmosphere along the channel, but some 40min were missing to wrap it up with delicious lunch in one of the local restaurants.Written November 11, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Room no.93118 contributionsAWFUL / RUDE & HELPLESS GUIDE !!
When I enter the (first/small boat) I ask if I can go at the back as I had to lie down on the bench due to my partial incapacitation. and I was told there is sharply “NO! get in the front! This is not your boat” when I told the guide my experience with the boat Captain she said you need to do what he says.
( By the way bold head full capacity as number of people so I don’t make any sense who is sitting in the back of the seat in the front)
Guide was an awful moody woman that took some lakes some dislikes among passengers just out of the blue! Apart from dealing with anyway kind of rude Italian way of dealing with tourists, she had the audacity to come to me and tell me in front of the whole boat screaming at me saying to me” you were an awful person” - of course I replied thank you for your comment!
Nice islands and day trip and 2nd (large boat!) Captain
DON’T BUY the Murano Glass souvenirs from the demonstration place. Its NOT the same quality and certainly Prices of clearly dodged to attract foolish tourists
Now dear readers, please judge for yourselves if my review deserves more than 1 star and better comment than this?
I wish you safe travels Venice/Venezia is a breathtaking wonderful place but choose your excursion companies carefully and wisely, both on price and reviews!Written October 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Kevin GMatawan, NJ154 contributionsI took this directly from the airport to my hotel dock, Hotel Columbina and it was wonderful. No issues. The staff at the hotel set it up well in advance of my trip. Everything went perfectly. % stars for this ride.
The return trip cannot be booked through the hotel although they made the reservation and let me know the pricing structure. The drive tried to charge me more when i was exiting and also would not accept a credit card (trip to the hotel was booked directly to my room). 1 star for this rideWritten March 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I also could not get through on the phone out of hours to check the booking had been accepted.
But lo', the taxi did turn up! Excellent.
Very reasonable price compared to other online booking servicesWritten October 12, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
