My husband and I are doing the Villages of Italy tour in September. We are arriving a day early and staying at the tour hotel in Padova/Padua.
I know the bus is available, but are there any car services to arrange transport from the airport? Depending on how smooth or chaotic our travel day goes I may want to do this option.
Any help would be appreciated!
Google “Rome2Rio” website, it will give you several different options .
We took the shuttle the other direction from Padova to VCE. Couldn't have been easier.
We took the bus, then the tram to our hotel. We had no problems but we were only flying from Oslo and it was early in the day so we weren’t too tired. If you’ve come a long way consider staying in Venice and then taking the train the next day. The train from Venice was quite nice.
We arrived in Padua 3 days early and did a day trip to Venice as well as checking out the many sites in Padua. Be sure to have an aperotivo (Aperol spritz for me and beer or wine for my hubby).
Addition—if you can find a shuttle, that would work if you’re tired.
Several years ago just before the pandemic we arranged a taxi to Padua at one of taxi services inside the Marco Polo Airport. It wasn't cheap but it was fast and efficiently dropped us off at the hotel entrance. We learned that they didn't have that many requests and they decided upon a price to offer us. The driver was super professional. We were bleary eyed after a long trip DTW to AMS to VCE. We had quite a long boarding process at AMS due to the nature of getting a large special Olympics group on our plane. I would gladly pay for that driver again.
