On time, very professional and friendly service. We travelled from our Murano hotel to the port. It was a lovely experience in a beautiful boat.

Our driver called us to make sure we were not left behind. I was impressed!
A very convenient and reliable way to get around Venice!

The boat driver made sure we were at the correct location. Our cruise ship was not at this location but he contacted our cruise company to make sure to get us to the right location,

First, the positives: despite being a shared transfet, we were sent a private boat for our party of four. Once aboard, it was a short, smooth ride to the cruise port.
The downside: while we were asked for a time and asked to call to confirm, that was not how it happened. Instead, our hotel got a fax with the time we would be picked up... two hours later than our chosen time. The boat arrived during high tide, and climbing on was difficult for our group of seniors. We had to hand our bags across the foot wide gap between the pier and the boat, and while we were able to do so, know your own limits before booking.

It was an effortless transfer from our hotel to the ship. Winding through the Grand Canal as one departs Venice is a must.

Bucintoro Viaggi Tours is a scam. No need to pre-book. You can catch a water taxi for 1/2 price, approx 60-70 euros for family of 4. We were about 10 min late for our scheduled departure at the dock. We got to the dock waited, no one to talk to, were told by other drivers sit and wait, no one came to help. We called the office, we were told to get out own transportation since we were late. No Refunds
So they basically took my $147.00 for nothing. Greedy SOB's. Bucintoro SUCKS !!

I wasn't too sure about booking this transfer seeing that it was in a limited English speaking location and we needed to get from our hotel to the Cruise Port in time enough for our departure. Please note that neither my wife nor I are able to speak Italian. The alternatives didn't look to easy as it would have involved either getting on and off a ferry with our luggage then trying to find our way to the people mover to take us to the port, or, walking from our hotel, over a rather large footbridge with steps and having to take our luggage also. Neither of these options really appealed to us.
I needn't have worried because it all worked out so well.
As I was already in another location in Italy prior to our stay in Venice I was able to contact the provider of the transfer and actually speak with an English speaking person who allayed all our fears about pick-up points etc. and stated that we would actually be taken from the canal at the front of our hotel to the Cruise Port and that the confirmation paperwork would be at our hotel when we arrived. It was.
We arranged a pick-up time near midday and went to the pier at the front of the hotel, which was located on the Grande Canal near the railway station, and waited briefly until the water taxi arrived just before the arranged time.
The driver was very efficient and pleasant. He placed our luggage on board and proceeded to take us directly to the cruise port at the luggage drop-off point for our particular cruise. He also took our luggage from the water taxi up to the drop-off point.
The trip took about 15 to 20 minutes in all and at no point did we feel uncomfortable or concerned about the overall transfer.
We would highly recommend this form of transfer to anyone who asked.

The boat driver was rude. Stacked all our luggage against the outside of the boat and I literally had th grab someone's case so it wouldn't end up in the water!!! The guy obviously did not like his job!
Giving two stars because of the companies communication with a note at our hotel to introduce themselves and give details of pick up and that the driver was on time.
