What You'll do in this tour

Take advantage of our “Private Water Taxi” service when needing to be transferred from Piazzale Roma in Venice San Marco and your local Venice hotel or the reverse. This will be a one-way, direct non stop transfer from one location to another and is for those wishing to have a private transfer instead of taking the public water taxis or walking when on San Marco. This service is often be used in combination of one of our city to city transfers to take you between Piazzale Roma and your hotel in Venice.

You will also have the assistance of our driver whom will drop you off at your next stop but if you need someone to escort you into the train station or pick you up at the exit of your train you can add a hostess for an additional charge. 

The driver will speak some basic English on this type of a service and that is going to be sufficient but if you require a hostess they speak fluent English. 

In Venice, Piazzale Roma is the closest point that we can reach by car and then you will need to either walk, use local public water buses or have a private water taxi such as this service.  

*Our driver will be waiting for you at the assigned meeting point with a sign that bears your name at the time that you scheduled.

*You have an obligation to notify us directly by phone if you have changes to your plans or if you need assistance locating your driver.  Please do not leave if you do not immediately see your driver as parking in the center is not always possible and they may need to park the car and then walk to your designated meeting point.
