About this tour
Skip the confusion of Venice's labyrinthine waterways and catch your train on time. This private water taxi whisks you from your hotel directly to Santa Lucia Station in around 30 minutes, with one large bag per person included. Your boat is reserved for your group alone, cutting through the city's canals without the fuss of working out which dock to queue at or how to haul luggage across bridges. Taxes, fees, and tips are baked in—just turn up and go.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel's water entrance—or the closest reachable dock if yours lacks direct access—and ferried across Venice's canals in a private boat. The journey takes around half an hour and handles the logistics that typically tie travellers in knots: which route to take, where to leave your bags, how much to tip the boatman. You arrive at the station dock nearest the train platforms, luggage included, with nothing left to sort. Staff coordinate pickup carefully to ensure you're collected from the safest, most convenient point available to your accommodation.
Good to know
One large suitcase per person is included; excess baggage isn't covered. Infants sit on adult laps or travel in prams. Pickup point depends on your hotel's water access—confirm this when booking. All costs are fixed upfront, so no surprises at payment.
