We need to get to Venice Santa Lucia Station in time for a tour at 2pm. What is the best way to get from Porto Corsini the morning our Royal Caribbean Cruise ends? There are 6 in our group. Are there any reputable transfer services? I have found Airportstaxitransfers.com and connect.com which both appear to do this and I have received pricing, but I do not know if they are reputable. Some of the reviews are sketchy.

Taxi to Ravenna station
Train to Venice- change in either Ferrara or Bologna.
Ferrara is easier
Will take about 2.5-3 hours depending which routing you choose.
If you go with a transfer service they will not be able to get you to Venezia station- they'll likely drop you at Piazzale Roma- from there it's a vaporetto ride to the station or walk over the Ponte de la Constituzione (a bit of a pain with luggage but definitely cheaper).

I agree with ChristineH. We went through Ravenna a year ago, and took a city bus to the train station. But with a group of 6, if you can find a taxi that's a van it might be your cheapest option. Otherwise, take the bus.
We took the train to Ferrara and got off. The next train that arrived (from Bologna) took us on into the Venezia Santa Lucia train station. It's about 120 miles by train, and just over 2 hours to get there.
