Our Venice trip was a great success. Already the airport transfer with the Venice pass worked very well and with all the actions with the passport the person knew immediately and one had no further explanation. From me five stars next time gladly again.
This made it easy to hit the ground running as no long queues and we were able to get to our hotel quickly. Read the small print, St Mark's required log In to another site to get entry tickets (free with City Pass). Would definitely purchase again next time.
Has worked great, thank you! No "Schlangenstehen" at the Dogenpalast, very recommendable, trip on the channel de Grande and also the surrounding islands are worth a trip.
It is worth it because of the prompt delivery and the uncomplicated use on the spot. :)
The Venice Pass is great for a city trip. The use was easy and we were able to save time with the preferred entrance at the Doge Palace. We especially enjoyed the boat trip on the Grand Canal.
We were the first time in Venice and could easily get to know the city with the Venice City Pass. We were able to visit the museums without any major problems with the pass and the Canal Grande tour was an absolute highlight for us! The pass has definitely paid off for us :)
Can highly recommend the Venice City Pass. Great way to discover the city and save money! Was the first time in Venice, an absolutely worth seeing city! Gondola ride, pretty canals and generally much to experience. Practically also the airport transfer and that one comes without a long wait in the Dogenpalast. We will be back.
Reservations or requests by email do not work (no response), so it is better to go directly to the Alilaguna San Marco ticket office to make all reservations or ask for information. The Chorus Pass cannot be collected anywhere other than in the three churches mentioned and not on Sundays since they are closed! It would be necessary to be able to collect it in another ticket office!
The Turbopass was fantastic for those who want to see it all ( or nearly all :-) )!
In stead of looking for all these individual adresses you become all you need in the documents of Turbopass ...
at once! With all the details what/where/how to visit!
One tip of advice ( that is why 4 stars and not 5 ( 4,5 was also ok ) ) : once you become all the information of Turbopass, look at Google Maps ( or another app ) where to get the tickets/passes you need.
For exemple if you've booked the airport boat ( Alilaguna ), you have to go to the desk on the airport to collect; if you've booked water transportation ( Vaporetto ), there are only a few places to collect; a.s.o..
So use your first hour to exchange your vouchers or Turbopass and you will have a tremendous, exciting and above all stressless holiday! Thank you, Turbopass! :-)
The pass makes it easier to plan sightseeing in the city. But please don't underestimate the time required for each sightseeing and tour. Set priorities! Make sure to reserve the desired sightseeing or tour date in advance (at least one day in advance) with the booking office. Unfortunately, there is only a very limited selection of German-language tours (a real shame!!). In any case, this pass is worth it with the included gondola tour. My additional tip outside of the pass: If you are looking for a popular and inexpensive restaurant in the city, just go to Cucina Da Mario in the Fondamenta Malvasia (San Marco 2614).
Your pass works very well and everywhere except at St Mark's Basilica which rejects it even if we make them read the details... Moreover, the descent of the Grand Canal by water taxi brings nothing... It would be better to have a guided descent in a “real” boat. There, we are very crowded and we can't see anything through the very small side windows. For the rest, it's perfect.
would be more helpful to know all the tickets that need to be picked up in advance with detailed instructions and what needs to be booked before the trip starts (email ahead of time for ferry otherwise could be full)
great value includes most highlights and make planning easier
Worth It - the only Challenge Was Finding Where To Get Tickets / Make Reservations - found it finally off of san marco square - then easy
Worth it - 25 minute gondola ride, murano burano torcella with glass blowing demo in murano, walking tour, ducale museum and several churches and we also got the transportation ticket - for the boats
The VTO is not quite in the corner of San Marco. It is about 1/3 along from the corner. You then need to go through to the next street and turn L towards the lagoon. It is a short walk down on the Left.
We have already given a review, but we forgot something important! Under no circumstances should you light a candle in St. Mark's Cathedral! The candles do not burn completely, they only stay there for a short time, then they are removed to make room for new candles so that people donate money for new candles. Rip-off!
We spent 5 days in Venice and used the Venice City Pass. Unfortunately it was during the Biennale period so some attractions were closed. We would definitely recommend the City Pass and recommend reserving some attractions a day in advance. The trip to Murano, Burano and Torcello is also included in the pass but time on site is tight, only about 45 minutes on each island.
This pass is absolutely worth it - as long as the weather is good! We had three whole days in Venice and the weather was fantastic. That's why we were able to really make use of the pass (if it rained you wouldn't go on a gondola ride, etc.). It's definitely a good idea to find out in advance where you can get the relevant entry tickets (unfortunately they're not well advertised). You also have to book a specific time for a lot of things - that's something you should also take into account in advance.
You will need 3 days to see it all. Consider 1 day for relaxing. Prefer to stay in Venice if affordable, to avoid every day transfer
Doge's Palace, Art Museum, Grand Canal Cruise and 3 Island Tour are great experiences. FenicecTheater didn't work without prior registration, we had to pay extra for the audio tour. All tours must be reserved at the Marco Piazza pier, which is inconvenient. Especially if you don't live there
