That's an atrocious price for the transfer. The return to the airport is much cheaper, on the Day 6 daily they quoted $50 per person for transfer for flights after 1pm. Obviously, you won't need that, but the contrast in price for arrival and departure is worthy of note. In any case, the train is comfortable and the walk to the terminal not far for able bodied folk. We struggled a little with the uneven floor surfaces because of our 4-wheel cases, but any other luggage would be fine. The transfer price was insane … and that’s from Venice airport to Trieste. They now dock at Trieste and no longer at the Venice cruise terminal. The return trips will be to FCO so I will see how much they will want for that transfer on the ship.

goldmom Posted November 6, 2022 #80 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Loving your review. I'm so enjoying your pictures as I have many similar ones from our trip to Venice many years ago. We loved Venice. We also stayed at the Hilton. I seem to remember they had an amazing rooftop pool. You should check it out the views were stunning. Have an amazing trip! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted November 6, 2022 Author #88 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Doge’s Palace Secrets Tour I highly recommend this tour if you like history but you have to book in advance!! Book in advance is the key and book it directly with the place… NO need to go through an operator unless you want a guided personal tour 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted November 6, 2022 Author #96 Share Posted November 6, 2022 After the Palace .. I had time for a quick lunch before going to my second tour… walking inside the clock tower at San Marcos. Not the tall bell tower but the clock tower. I highly recommend the tour.. 10 people max and it is amazing! Later on that… but first pizza ! I found this place online and it lived up to its hype! Local joint and the pizza is amazing! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted November 6, 2022 Author #97 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I saw this fresh pasta place on my way back for the clock tower tour and I just had to try it… wow the pepper and cheese pasta was amazing! The fresh pasta… wow! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted November 6, 2022 Author #99 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Lots of intricate machinery inside the clock tower that run the clock! The statues are used for a procession on two days a year only! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouChamp Posted November 6, 2022 #100 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The secret tour was fantastic glad you took it. Yes the Hilton is a little far away as I said we love the cipriani but their are some very beautiful hotels along the grand canal. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
