Book this cruise transfer for a fast, fun and hassle-free journey to your hotel. Board your motorboat, sit back and take in the sights of Venice as you glide along the Venetian lagoon. Traveling by private motorboat is the only way to arrive in Venice!

Our Water Taxi never showed at 10AM as confirmed and we waited over 3 hours. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I called the operator 5 times with no answer so we gave up

Hello Mr. Vincent, I wasn’t able to complete my comments regarding my Venice Private Arrival Transfer by Water Taxi: Cruise Port to Central Venice Booking Reference BR 1070574973; thank you for giving me the opportunity to give you the full account of this encounter. My party of 3, all in our mid-seventies - two of who had medical issues making luggage transport difficult - booked the “Full” Arrival Transfer service through La Vacanza Travel; this was to provide a representative meeting us at the cruise terminal in Marittima ar 0900 and accompanying us on our water taxi transfer to our lodging in Central Venice at the Instituto Canossianno San Travaso. We had paid in full ($202.37) at the time of the booking, and I confirmed the day before, receiving back a message from Bucintoro Viaggi: “Yes confirmed! Our assistant Vito will wait for you. Best Regards”. No one met us at the cruise terminal. I texted and got no response. I called La Vacanza Travel but got only a tree of voice mail options none of which was appropriate. After a half hour of waiting, I got on the line for persons without reservations seeking water taxi transfers. The agent there, after at least four phone calls over the course of an hour, got our water taxi to show up - 90 minutes after the scheduled pick-up. In the meantime, many of the persons without reservations had long since left on their taxis. I had clearly given the lodging name at the time of booking. Despite this, the water taxi driver took us to a point - according to him a 5 minute walk - far from the lodging and over 2 Venetian bridges. Since only one of us was capable of dealing with the luggage especially up and down the steps at the bridges, the “5 minute walk” took another 30 minutes and we arrived at our destination exhausted and 2 hours later than planned. By way of contrast, I had booked a water taxi transfer with Consorzio Motoscafi from our lodging to the airport for the next day; he arrived on time and picked us up a few steps away from our lodging. As a consequence of the 2 hours wasted, we missed our scheduled Skip the Line St. Marks Basilica Guided Tour with GetYourGuide at 1100 and have lost both the $124.86 spent and the opportunity to visit this most desirable opportunity. I have just learned from the La Vacanza Travel App that my refund request has been rejected. I hope that you will will reverse that decision immediately, given the above. If you have any further questions about this encounter please feel free to contact me either by email or phone.

The ride was very nice once we found out when and where to meet. We were told we would receive instructions prior but no word after repeated contact attempts. Expected we would be assisted with our bags to our hotel but that was not the case. We paid a lot of extra money for the private transfer expecting extra service. Next time we will queue with everyone else to get a taxi off the cruise. We were the last to get off the pier.
