Perfect hassle-free way to get to hotel. Ilaria was wonderful. She waited for us right outside the exit w our name and walked us out of the train station. She had a water taxi ready for us and escorted us all the way to the check in counter of our hotel. Great experience!!

I really enjoyed this experience. We were met by a very friendly guide who helped us get to our destination without any difficulty. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Great job.
Well worth it. Guide met us at the train station, took us to the water taxi, rode with us to our VRBO and called them when we arrived. Same service back to the train station. Even helped with bags and took us all the way to our train car.
Thank you Top Venice, Giuseppe, for advising and confirming our private shuttle transfer from Venice cruise port to private water taxi transfer, onward to our hotel in central Venice. If it was not for the guidance of Top Venice, we might still be standing in the Venice cruise port ... not really, but it would have been an overwhelming circumstance if not for Top Venice. We also booked a private water taxi from hotel to the Lucia train station. Thank you to our guides Francesca (water taxi directly to our hotel) and Laura (water taxi to train station, waiting with us until our platform was announced). Wish we had more time in Venice, only one night. Truly, Top Venice is top notch. On our next visit, we will not only book private transfers again but also tour options, amazing offers!
Having a private transfer was so helpful. Our hotel was in Murano but the majority of our tours were in Venice. There are public water taxis but the private transfer is so much faster
Wonderful!!! Francesca was awesome!!! Very helpful and informative! Showed us where to go so we didn’t get lost
Giuseppe was very communicative and helpful in booking / sharing information. Ana Paula was helpful and walked us straight to the reception desk of our hotel. Price was a little expensive but the convenience of a private / direct water taxi helped us maximize our first and only day in Venice.
Absolutely flawless. Francesca was waiting for us and immediately called the water taxi. It arrived in less than 10 minutes. Luggage on and off of the boat was easy. I highly recommend this service. Graves was very knowledgable and personable And never left our side until we reached the check in desk
Excellent service from airport to canals of Venice. Maybe signage could be better. Staff were pleasant and very helpful.
Giuseppe and his team are the best! They communicated so clearly that the entire process was easy and excellent. Paola and Guilia provided the on the ground help. They made our Venice experience so much better. Thank you and Highly Recommended!
Wonderful experience! We are a family of 4 traveling with 2 kids. Lisa was at the arrival platform of the train station and took us to our private boat and to our hotel door. The communication was thourough (before arrival) and it was nice to hear about the city during the boat ride. We saw the water taxi packed with people and luggage which made us even more grateful we had our own space. Our family definitely recommends using this service!
I highly recommend using a private transfer from Santa Lucia train station to your hotel in the Venice City Center. Our group of six had two pieces of luggage each, and handling that on public transport would have been challenging. The convenience of a private transfer made our arrival much smoother and stress-free. Plus, the views from the private tour were stunning, especially the route through the Grand Canal, which added a wonderful touch to our experience. If you’re traveling with luggage, this option is definitely worth considering!
Guiseppe was a GREAT host! Not only did he meet us at the train and get us on the boat to our hotel.. he coordinated this bad all of tours and transfers for our entire trip!! He also was sure to speak to me a lot before we arrive to ensure I understood all of my plans and various options that might work better for myself and my family. Highly recommend!!!
Mattia was there on time. They will arrive and wait for you at the time your train etc arrives to Venice. Smooth transfer. Professional. Great communication at the time of booking and 24 hours prior to pick up. Very easy to get in touch, and prompt to respond to questions. So much easier this way when you have kids/luggage. Dropped us to the door of our hotel.
I live close to the 17th street station , the City lets the Metro Shout over the loud Speaker all day all night . The speakers Yell at our homes way over city noise levels allowed , homeless sleep all over station . They bring a huge power washer in every night at 3 am so noisy with moters runing for a hour . How dare they no regard for the people who live in Santa Monica , homeless , trash everywere they have distroyed this City . Dont come to Santa Monica even the Beach is gross full of oil and sewer .
Wonderful experience into and out of Venice! Both Mattia and Giulia were fantastic! We were met right at the arrival platform at the train station and Mattia walked us to our boat and accompanied us right to our hotel lobby. Same the other way, Giulia met us right in our hotel lobby and took us right to our train. Talk about door-to-door service! Highly recommend!
Benedetta Met is platform in time with a smile. Delivered us to an amazing hotel. Great way to lesson the stress of traveling!
Since it was our first trip to Venice, it was nice to be met in the train station and brought to the water taxi. The ride was quick, comfortable and scenic.
The transfer went very smoothly. We arrived via train from Ravenna, IT after a cruise. Highly recommend. The communication was exceptional.
Guiseppe was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Met us right at the platform, took care of our luggage, and have us done favorite suggestions for dinner. Grazie!
So much more personable and cleaner than the crowded water busses. Very Enjoyable. Much more direct.
So easy! This is the way to go for transportation from the train station to your hotel. Stress free!
Giuseppe met us on the train platform in Venice and escorted us to the water taxi. He rode along to the hotel and took pictures of us with our phone along the way. Highly suggest using this service when traveling to Venice!
If you have big bags taking a private taxi from the train station to the hotel makes the arrival much more confortable especially in summer heat. The ride is expensive but worth it, specially with kids. Beware of baggage carriers outside the train station, they seem to be affiliated with the boat taxi service but are not and will charge you 15 euros to take your bags for the 10m walk to the taxi. This is definitely a trap!!!
We were met at the train platform and escorted to the boat where we had very short wait. Our luggage was loaded by our escort and boat captain. The ride down the Grand Canal was fabulous. It was our first time in Venice and we were taking it all in. We were dropped off within a couple hundred feet if the hotel entrance. Our luggage was unloaded by our escort and boat captain (we don’t travel lightly - 4 large rolling cases and 2 backpacks). Our escort assisted with getting the luggage to the hotel porter, announced that she would be the one collecting us at the end of our trip. Kudos to Lander for setting this up for up!
Very quick to respond & text when we asked questions before we met and we’re there on the platform - very smooth ride to our hotel. If this is your first time to Venice with kids and don’t want any stress, would highly recommend! Took great family pictures too!!
They picked us up and we’re on time and very helpful with lunch options! Talked to front seat for us and made whole experience easier
It was so great to be greeted right after we disembarked the train! And we were led right to our water taxi. Very easy! Our host states with us until we were met by our contact for our vacation rental. Smooth and easy.
Muy recomendable hace más fácil tu llegada al hotel y poder disfrutar el viaje. Nos gustó la experiencia
We were welcomed by Julia, an Italian who speaks Portuguese, waiting for us with our name on a plate. She helped us keep luggage , took us to the boat and accompanied us to the hotel with sympathy and efficiency. The boat was great, comfortable and fast. I loved the experience so much that I decided to return with the same Enterprise. I recommend to
