Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival day: private pick-up at Venice Marco Polo Airport, car transfer to Piazzale Roma, then water taxi to your hotel in Venice city centre. Timings shown as an example — final pick-up is scheduled to match your flight arrival time provided at booking.
Arrive at Venice Marco Polo Airport (clearing customs & luggage)
Flight arrival, passport control and baggage collection. Use this time to stretch and collect luggage — the transfer includes 60 minutes complimentary waiting time from landing/disembarkation.
Tips from local experts:
- Plan for 30–60 minutes: busy flights can take longer at passport control — budget extra time and let the supplier know if delayed.
- Restroom accessibility: main arrivals hall has step-free access and accessible toilets — follow signs to 'Arrivi / Arrivals'.
- Keep your phone handy (charged) so the driver can call if needed; request seating in the arrivals seating area if you need a short rest before heading outside.
Meet your driver - arrivals meeting point (name sign)
Driver meets you just outside the sliding doors of the arrivals/luggage hall holding a sign with your name. Driver will confirm your booking and assist with luggage and any mobility needs.
Tips from local experts:
- If mobility assistance is needed, ask the driver to wait by the covered walkway outside the Arrivals doors — it's closer to the carousel exits and step-free.
- If you can't find the driver, call the local supplier number (provided at booking) rather than wandering — they will stay in the meeting area for the included wait time.
- Confirm whether you prefer the vehicle door opened on the passenger side (useful for avoiding kerbs) and ask driver to load heavier items into the boot.
Private Mercedes car/van transfer to Piazzale Roma (comfortable, climate-controlled)
Direct road transfer from the airport to Venice car terminal (Piazzale Roma). Vehicles are Mercedes; drivers speak English and assist with luggage. Travel time typically 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a seat near the door for easier entry/exit and ask the driver to park as close as possible to the Piazzale Roma drop-off to minimize walking.
- This stretch is step-free and climate-controlled — great for avoiding long outdoor walks in colder or rainy weather.
- If you use a mobility aid or wheelchair, notify the supplier in advance so they can choose a suitable vehicle and help on arrival at Piazzale Roma where ramps and level access are available.
Private water taxi from Piazzale Roma to your central Venice hotel (door-to-door)
Board a private water taxi at Piazzale Roma for a scenic, direct transfer to the canal landing nearest your hotel (example shown: Hotel Danieli). Water taxi offers minimal walking with crew assistance for boarding and luggage.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask crew to position the boat so boarding is as level as possible; many water taxis can be boarded from short, stepped pontoons — request assistance if balance is a concern.
- If you prefer a quieter route, ask for a smaller, slower taxi rather than a fast run — it’s gentler and easier to board for seniors.
- Confirm exact hotel drop-off point in advance (some hotels have private moorings, e.g., Hotel Danieli) so the driver can coordinate and minimize walking with luggage.
Hotel arrival & check-in (example: Hotel Danieli) — assisted luggage carry
Crew or driver assists with luggage to the hotel entrance/landing. Allow time to sign in and rest. If your accommodation is different, the same door-to-door assistance applies — driver and water taxi coordinate the drop-off.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the front desk for a ground-floor room or a room with elevator access if stairs are difficult; many central hotels can accommodate requests when informed in advance.
- If you use a wheelchair or have limited mobility, confirm accessible route from the water landing to the hotel entrance; some historic buildings require a short ramp or have staff assistance available.
- Keep a small day bag with essentials (meds, glasses, documents) so you don't need to handle all luggage at check-in.
