About this tour
Meet your greeter at Venice Cruise Terminal San Basilio or Marittima and travel directly to your hotel via private water taxi or combined van-and-water-taxi service. This one-way transfer handles the awkward first leg after docking, getting you sorted within an hour so you can start exploring. Your escort manages logistics while you settle in with your luggage.
Highlights
- Licensed greeter meets you dockside with smile ready

What to expect
A staff member will find you on the platform as passengers disembark. They'll guide you through the terminal and onto your transport—either a speedboat direct to your accommodation, or a van ride to a water taxi point depending on your hotel location. The journey takes roughly an hour. Your escort stays with you through the handover, sorting luggage allowances and any questions about access fees that may apply to day-trippers. It's straightforward logistics dressed up as hospitality.
Good to know
Pack one main bag under 23 kg plus one carry-on. Gratuities aren't included. If visiting Venice for the day from outside, check current €5 entry fee requirements before arrival. Not advised for those with heart or circulation concerns.
