I absolutely loved this and I was lucky enough to be in the water taxi alone and it was such a lovely experience going up the Grand Canal and seeing Venice for the first time was pretty special . I would recommend that you do it .

Easy to find the agency, the taxi driver worried about waiting for us and locating us where we were, of course helping us with our bags to get on the boat. Of course, give us directions on how to get to the hotel.

very easy and so much cheaper then a private water taxi , plus I had the taxi to myself so it was like a private one anyways... 25€ compared to 200€ I would definitely recommend it

Ticket office directly on the left side at the station exit Super service with escort to the taxi rank The whole thing took less than 10 minutes

It's an excellent mode of transportation, but there are cheaper shared options
