  • Une ville sans bruit de voiture, sans vélo, sans trotinette ... où tout se fait à pied ou en bateau, quelle bonheur ! L'audioguide est très bien fait et donne d'intéressantes informations sur Venise et peut être consulter bien apès son séjour. A noter, Il est important de télécharger l'app officiel des Vapporetto "CheBateo?" pour être informé des horaires et des directions des bateaux, mais surtout des changements qu'il pourrait y avoir, :annulation de ligne certain jour en cas d'événement et surtout des éventuels grèves que nous avons eu droit le dernier jour !

  • La mostra, il viaggio in battello, le calli.

  • La praticità!! È stato tutto molto snello, grazie

  • Perfetta la prenotazione on-Line del biglietto niente interminabili code

  • frequent boats, so it was not super crowded

  • Wir hatten leider nur zwei Tage Aufenthalt in Venedig und haben dafür die 48 Stunden Tickets gebucht. Jeder aus unserer Gruppe bekam ein eigenes Ticket (muss man vor Ort am Automaten ausdrucken), so dass wir uns auch unabhängig voneinander bewegen konnten. Durch die Wasserbusse konnten wir diese einzigartige Stadt so kennenlernen, wie wir es zu Fuß niemals in der kurzen Zeit unseres Aufenthaltes hätten schaffen können. Wir sind absolut begeistert und empfehlen allen, die sich nicht nur für die Touri-Hotspots interessieren und möglichst viele authentische Eindrücke sammeln wollen, die Vaporettos für sich zu nutzen.

  • All time a quick connection between the destinations.

  • Franchement très bien. Aucun problème pour prendre les vapporettos. Une grande liberté de circulation, possibilité de se tromper et de repartir dans le bon sens sans angoisse

  • The whole experience of Venice was magical. It exceeded all our expectations. I would recommend the all day travel tickets to every visitor to Venice

  • We actually had an unusual experience...we booked tickets to Murano and 10 minutes into our journey, the small boy near to us was crying and scared. I knew immediately that he was separated from his parents. Through google translate and another person we found out he was German and the nice drivers located his mother's location with the radio/phone to the other water bus drivers. She and the grandfather had gotten off thinking that he was with the grandfather but he was not. We stayed with him and were communicating through google translate that the drivers were getting him back to his mom. It was very emotional and we were very happy with the response of the drivers toward the boy's situation. The one thing that was hard was that, the day after we went to a ticket office near Santa Lucia and told him that we did not see Murano because of the situation. We asked for a replacement trip to Murano and he said "no, you need to write an email."
