Great Service

We arranged a private taxi from the cruise terminal to our hotel and this service was excellent. A representative met us at the terminal and led us to our private water taxi. They handled the loading of the luggage. When we got to land at St.Marks area she led us right into the hotel we had booked. All was excellent.

The Worst Ever
edarby2019
, Nov 2019
I paid $185 for the privite taxi from the Cruise Terminal in Venice to Central Venice which include a walkig guide to take us (3 people) to our hotel and avoid lines and waiting. My document for taxi states - if delayed it should be no longer than 1 hour. We waited over two hours because no taxi's were available to take us who were pre-booked and paid an enourmous amounti. We were informed they only have 5 water taxi's and we had to wait. We were the last ones leaving that terminal - people who paid that the ticket booths all went befoe us - when we got to Venice we saw some of them sitting down eating. They only paid $70 for 4 people. One of the managers came to us trying to justify why, saying it was not their fault - I asked why do you overbook it we cannot fulfill your contract. She said the cruise ship had many people that were using the taxi's - REALLY, thats all the time - nothing new. I really would like to get a refund. Oh, I saw the guide counting our luggage I guess to try and justify their actions; however, I put in the Special Accomodation Remarks when I booked the taxi that I had excessive luggate. I was infomred it was OK. Booking the Water Taxi through Viator was A waste of Money - the manager even said she regret we wasted so much money.

Guided in Venice!

Excellent Service! We had someone with us from getting off the ship until we walked in the door of our hotel. It was very nice, considering the usual spot where water taxis would drop off was closed because there was a marathon in the middle of St. Mark's Square. Much easier than trying to navigate it yourself!

Representative totally forgot about us. We’d still be there if I hadn’t searched half an hour to find her again. The ride was fine after another 30 minutes waiting for the water taxi. You can get your own taxi without Viator

Frustrating waste of money

After a 90 minute wait we sent off in a taxi with other travelers. We paid extra FYI be brought right to our hotel by guide which did not happen. We were just dropped off on sidewalk with a vague wave towards were our hotel was blocks away. If not for google maps we would not have found it. We will be asking for refund from Viator.

Not what we paid for

Started good met timely at San Basilio cruise port but those who went to the taxi stand got aboard a taxi first, I paid for a guide to assist from port to the hotel and paid for private taxi with assist since was never in Venice.. The guide placed 4 other persons in the water taxi and assisted them to their hotel and we were then taken by the taxi without her to our hotel which luckily was right were the water taxi dropped us off. Felt we did not get what we paid for we got a shared taxi and no guide but did get to the hotel that is why I gave it a three star.

Don't Waste your time with this Vendor

I don't normally write reviews, but this experience was so bad I felt I needed to let others know. Just finished up a 12 day cruise in Venice, and wanted a private taxi to take us directly to our Hotel in Venice which had waterway access. Had to wait an hour for the taxi and was dropped of with a 10 min walk to the Hotel with many large size bags. Yes, I was one of those families you see trying to cross the crowded bridges with large bags, a situation I was trying to avoid. Friends traveling with us got a taxi at the taxi stand and got picked up in 20 mins, and dropped off at the hotel, and only paid 80E. I had purchased 8 excursions ($3700) with Viator and had an outstanding service with all the other vendors, so may expectations I guess were to high.
