nmsk5 Posted April 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2018 We are arriving at Marco Polo Airport from Atlanta on June 30 at 9:10 am. We are planning on taking a private water taxi directly to our hotel. If I reserve it for 10 am, will that give us enough time to clear customs and collect baggage? Or should I not reserve it and just hope that there is availability when we arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted April 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I think that is tight. It’s a very busy airport and once you’ve cleared customs it’s quite a walk down to the dock. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted April 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2018 We didn’t reserve one. It’s like a regular taxi in US airports, that’s how you get around. I believe we paid at the desk inside the airport and they gave us a slip of paper with a number on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerngirl8 Posted April 29, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I am not sure how much research you have done on that topic... I have done lots as I leave for Venice for the first time in 24 days! But from all my research a private water taxi is SUPER expensive.... plan on spending 160+ euro!!! I looked into booking a private car - which was a lot cheaper! But ended up purchasing tickets for the ATVO bus- will be 7 euro each for the 3 of us. I posted a link to "shuttle direct" which will talk about your options! https://www.shuttledirect.com/en/airport/vce.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is most of Venice is located where no cars or busses are allowed. People travel by the canals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donray Posted April 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 30, 2018 No need to reserve. I just went to the water taxi stand in the airport, paid, got a ticket and want to my assigned boat. Only why to go if your hotel has a dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roma and this is what our hotel recommends to. So this is an easy way for us to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I am going to Venice in July and have been in contact with my hotel as well. They gave me the same information and said no reservation is needed. Once you go through baggage claim, they told me there is the "Vienza Taxi stand" and they are the ones to speak with about it.
