1) How to get from Marco Polo Airport to Venice? PRIVATE LAND AND/OR AQUATIC TRANSFERS

Before your arrival at the airport, make sure to have your private transfer already waiting for you at the aiport; the driver will already be at the gate waiting for you with a sign, so you won’t have to think about anything, just go comfortably and safely to your hotel.

Arriving in Piazzale Roma you will have the other transfer, in this case the private water taxi, which is smaller than public taxis and carries a maximum of 12 people; for sure it is the fastest and most practical way to get to your Hotel. The average to get to your hotel is 30 minutes.

Advantage

It is certainly the least stressful option. Nothing better than arriving after a long trip and finding a person waiting for you to take you to the hotel without wasting too much time;
The fastest and direct means of transport that will take you as close as possible of your hotel, in some cases it will drop you in front of your hotel (depending on the location or if the hotel has its own ‘port’ in front), so you won’t have to walk a lot with your suitcases;
With the other transport alternatives, you will have to find a second option to reach your hotel, whether on foot, by vaporetto, etc., while with the private water taxi you will not have this type of problem, so it is the best alternative for families with children, elderly people or for small groups.

Disadvantage

In comparison with the other means presented, there is none, because the tranquility, safety and satisfaction with the contracted service, are worth the amount paid.
With the transfer you will not have to worry about consulting maps, nor be afraid of making “wrong” choices regarding the means of transport! In addition, the convenience of a private service pays off a lot, especially when you have a lot of bags and are arriving from a long trip.

How much is it?

Accessing the link below, you can get more information about this option. It is safe, comfortable and the cost-benefit is excellent! This way, you avoid the exchange transport to get to the hotel, since the transfer is direct! Non-stops!
This service, like any private service, is more expensive, but worth it because of the comfort and mainly because you will not waste so much time trying to figure out how to get to your hotel.
