We are going on the Venice, Florence Rome Rick Steves tour Sept 21-30, 2009. If you are going also, and would like to email before the trip, let me know. Also, we would like to partner with another couple to share a water taxi into Venice--we'll be arriving at Marco Polo Airport on Sept. 21 at 9:00 in the morning--US Airways. Let me know! Grazie--Nancy
Hi Nancy:
I am not going on this tour but I have been to Venice via the airport for a Rick Steve's tour. If you can't find another couple to share the taxi you might want to consider the AliLuguna. It is a water bus that goes from the arport to Venice.
Google them and check it out. They have a very good website. It is about $12 Euros and you can buy the tickets at the Airport(follow the signs). There is a shuttle from the airport to the dock. You tell which line you want be on by the end stop
It is a fun way to get to Venice and not difficult at all.
You will have a fantastic time.
