One of the best ways to see Venice is from the water, and while gondolas may be the traditional favourite (and also the priciest option) the stunning fleets of luxury wooden water taxis have always taken our fancy (and are significantly less pricey). Water taxis don’t just offer luxury airport transfers from Marco Polo, they also shuttle visitors around Venice and between its islands, whilst a water taxi guided tour of the sights is a great way to experience the Most Serene Republic.
