Very nice vacation in Venice. It was fun to explore the city. And taking the vaporetto back. Gastronomy with food and drink top👍 and also the people are very friendly (only the pickpockets are not).

We were also in Venice last year = without a ticket. We were very mobile and independent thanks to Vaparetto. It was worth it, we enjoyed Venice

The means of transportation (bus, Vapiretto) were very reliable and punctual. However, 15 euros per day and person for a day ticket is too high a price.

Vaporettos filled with people, hardly breathing. The ticket prices too high, for the quality of transportation. The staff, friendly and knowledgeable.

Very simple to redeem tickets. Go to the machine by the vaporeto station, enter the code given when you buy the tix and the passes are redeemed. Second time we use them with no problem. Great.
Hello, too many long waits at the poorly organized vaporettos. Concerning the return trip with ATVO, if the ticket inspector had looked at our ticket he would have noticed that we were on the wrong bus. Instead of taking the bus to San Marco airport, we went to Treviso and missed our plane.

Registration for several people is easier than a single registration per person. You just need to know where to find a machine to print out the tickets. The description of how to obtain the cards is a little poor. You only know how to do it once you've done it before.

Very good way to get around. You just need to look at the drop offs and see which way your water bus should be going to get you there sooner. Ask person when you get on if in doubt. Bus 1 stops at most stops and bus2 is more of expressway with less stops.
A dream place to live in Venice. Everything is within easy reach and not too expensive compared to the other prices. You can go island hopping every day :)

The vaporetto is the best way to get around Venice and with this pass we had no problems whatsoever. An expense I would definitely do again.
View original review in Italian
The tickets were easy to purchase and print at a kiosk. Using the water taxi is efficient and fun. Cruising through the grand canal is very scenic. Appreciate using Headout to purchase in advance!
We ordered Vaporetto 7 days online and received the code. At the ticket machine at the Canale Grande we entered the code on the screen and received both tickets immediately. Negative: because of the sun and the screen was too deep, it was not possible to get on and off.

Very simple and uncomplicated form of public transport! Always worked very well, great frequency, never had to wait long.

As we stayed in a hotel outside of Venice, we were able to use this on the bus and tram to get in and out of Venice, then on the waterbuses to go around Venice and get some amazing pictures. We able to navigate ourselves to Burano which is a must. Very useful for jumping on waterbuses just to rest your feet from all the walking. Overall good value for money we definitely made the most of having these tickets.
The actual purchase at the vending machine is very difficult because of the small font and the sun on the screen. But then using the vaporetti was an absolute pleasure!

It was my first visit to Venice, and I truly appreciated that my first impression of the city came from the sea. Traveling with Alilaguna allowed me to admire the beauty of Venice right from the water — a unique and unforgettable way to arrive. The service was punctual and reliable, respecting the time schedule both on my arrival and my departure. That made the whole transfer to and from the airport smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a scenic and efficient connection between Marco Polo Airport and the city of Ven

The number, size and decoration of the rooms are impressive. The commentary on the audioguide is not always easy to follow. Despite the so-called "coupe-file" ticket, we had to wait a good 20 minutes to enter the palace.

It was jaw dropping to see inside the palace with the paintings, artifacts, armour and weapons. The highlight being walking over the Bridge of Sighs and then into the prison. If you are in Venice it's a must see.

We were delighted with the palace. It was great and the entrance fee was justified. There is an elevator on request for people with walking disabilities. Very friendly staff.

I had no expectation when booking the ticket. I was really happily surprised. Fantastic building and history lesson. It's an amazing place and we spent many hours exploring all of the building and it's contents. I would recommend this place to all. The staff are fabulous and even the cafe is a great post experience chill.
We opted for a single entry ticket, but without an audioguide. At first, we had to queue for a few minutes, but soon the museum staff came to collect us with our special tickets. This type of ticket gives you access to the entrance courtyard, the many halls of power, and rooms displaying armor and weapons. You'll cross the Bridge of Sighs, which is a kind of tunnel, to access the prisons on the two lower floors. You won't be able to visit the rooftop cells where Casanova was held, or the secret itinerary rooms.

Ease. Even though the city was packed, we were able to get in quickly. What I liked most: the palazzo, of course. You never get tired of seeing it, I would have spent hours sitting in front of the wonderful painting by Tintoretto. I missed a bit of information about the different saints and characters because in the distance, I could not distinguish the attributes well, but that's stuff for the art-enthusiasts.

Booking online and getting straight in without having to queue was wonderful. It was not too busy so aibwas able to view the rooms and art easily. I was able to stroll through the beautiful palace and enjoy the wonderful rooms and exhibits.

I was particularly impressed by the prison wing and the passage over the Bridge of Sighs, which you normally only see from the outside. Of course, the palace is magnificent and impressive. There are great frescoes and lovely details to discover.

The opulence and history of the building. The artwork & decorations of the main rooms are in stark counterpoint to the prison cells in the dungeons.
We really enjoyed visiting the Doge Palace. The large paintings on the walls and the ceiling decorations were truly memorable. The Headout online booking process was very straightforward. We went in January, so there were not too many visitors.
The whole expirience!!!!!!!!!!
No queuing necessary, in 10 minutes in the Doge's Palace, worth the high entrance fee.

The ducal palace is exceptional, as is the history told by its walls and the works of art contained within. This was not my first visit and I return periodically. The only downside, access to the palace involved a fairly long line bbhough the ticket had been purchased as a queue jumper!!!

A huge building that gives a good insight into the splendor and wealth of medieval Venice, an absolute must!!!

the Doge's Palace is so remarkable that it is wonderful to visit and learn of the Palace. the queues are long even mid March, so to buy a ticket beforehand is helpful especially with our adult son who has autism and intellectual disability and waiting can be very troublesome. he loved the beauty and splendour of the Palace.
The museum is incredible! From the building to the objects on display. They make you feel like a witness to all the stories that took place there!
View original review in Portuguese
The doge's palace was an absolutely amazing experience- I have visited many palaces, castles and stately homes in different countries over my 73 years but this was one of the most memorable! The vast complex with such beautiful decorations and paintings were stunning. The other aspect I enjoyed was that there was space to enjoy the surroundings as it was not crowded unlike much of the central part of Venice.

The best pass depends on your stay. A 24-hour pass (€25) or 48-hour pass (€35) is great for short visits, while longer stays may benefit from the 72-hour pass (€45) or 7-day pass (€65). The Venezia Unica card bundles transport with museum access.
It depends on the kind of experience you’re looking for. The Vaporetto is functional and affordable, covering all major routes, while gondolas are more for sightseeing and can be pricey.
Take the ACTV (Line 5) or ATVO express bus to Piazzale Roma or opt for the Alilaguna water bus for a scenic transfer to locations like St. Mark’s Square.
Water taxis are fast and private but cost around €120+. They’re worth it if you have heavy luggage or want a hassle-free transfer.
Yes! The Vaporetto runs 24/7, with Line N operating from 11:30pm – 5am for late-night travel.
You must always validate your ticket from the electronic ticket checkers before boarding a Venice water bus. Make sure that your luggage does not exceed the limit.
Since the waters do not create large waves, you do not have the chance of getting seasick. However, if you feel nauseous, inform the sailors and boatmen. They will help you through the journey.
A standard Vaporetto ticket is valid for 75 minutes, allowing unlimited transfers within that time. Multi-day passes remain valid until their expiry.
Yes, but keep it compact, especially during peak hours, to ensure a comfortable ride.
There are no toilets on a Venice water bus.
Kids under 6 travel free, and the Rolling Venice card offers discounted fares for ages 6-29 on transport and attractions.
If you lose your ticket before validation, you must buy a new one—lost tickets cannot be replaced or refunded once validated.
