The 4 Best Venice Train Tours

1.Shared Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 73 reviews · 10 minutes (approx.) · from $46Our pick

You travel by shared, air-conditioned water taxi from a central Venice or Lido meeting point to Santa Lucia train station or Piazzale Roma. A professional driver helps with luggage, but you must confirm the exact dock and time the day before. The ride usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

“Travel from the hotel to the train station via water taxi was pretty painless. Although they didn’t pick us up where we asked, and they said they would, they did let us know with plenty of time, where they would and it wasn’t that far. They were very close to being on time as well. The rest of the trip to the train station (from San Marco) was a quick 10-15 min pleasant ride. Unlike our trip from the airport to Venice, this ride was very very good.”

2.Private Arrival Transfer: Venice Train or Bus Stations to Venice Hotels

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 68 reviews · 10 minutes (approx.)

Arrive in Venice and meet a Bucintoro Viaggi representative at Santa Lucia Station or Piazzale Roma. You’ll be escorted to an air-conditioned private water taxi for direct drop-off at a central Venice or Lido hotel. Service runs 24/7, but clear arrival details and reconfirmation are essential.

“Excellent service! Our train was delayed but there were no issues. There was a person waiting at the train station with my name on a card. She took us to the dock where our private taxi was waiting. The boat was clean and well maintained. The driver was super helpful with the bags. A most satisfactory way to arrive in Venice!”

3.Private Departure Transfer: Venice Hotels to Venice Train or Bus Station

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 49 reviews · 10 minutes (approx.)

Arrange a private water taxi from central Venice or the Lido to Santa Lucia Station or Piazzale Roma. A driver and, in many cases, a helpful escort such as Claudia or Alice, can assist with luggage and guide you to the right platform. Allow extra time for dock access and reconfirmation.

“The only way to arrive or depart from Venice. Cruising the canals as we headed to the Venice Railway Station was exceptional as we again experienced the magic of the canals that are Venice. Worth every cent”
