Rare VMax1700 Posted July 29 #4 Share Posted July 29 13 hours ago, Twocoasts said: Venice Shuttle There are quite a few companies with similar names. A Google search immediately throws up a couple of similar names e.g. Venice Shuttle and Venice Shuttle Service. I just wanted clarity on the name of the business before I posted unfavourable comments. In June 2022 (just after the restart) we used a company titled "Venice Shuttle SNC" using the web address www.veniceshuttle.it for a transfer from our hotel in Mestre to Trieste cruise port. Although the driver arrived promptly (actually 15 minutes before the scheduled time) and the van was spotlessly clean, we had the worst transfer. The driver told us the trip would take 1 hour 38 minutes according to google maps and then proceeded to try to prove google maps wrong by driving exceptionally and unnecessarily fast and doing a lot of lane meandering. I asked him to slow down and he did slow for a short while and then gradually increased his speed until I repeatedly had to ask him to slow. It wasn't until we left the autostrade and took the coast road for the final section of the journey that it became enjoyable. So, personnally I would not recommend that company.

Twocoasts Posted July 29 Author #5 Share Posted July 29 Thank you. That is the company we received a quote from. There are so few reviews on any of the Venice transfer companies. Our hotel can arrange for one, but their quote was over 900 euros.🤦♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price difference I would be inclined to 'risk it again' as it may be a different driver and being forwarned I would insist on a more sedate approach to the driving. (Background is that DW has osteoporisis and was also in recovery after mastectomy and chemo, so was quite fragile and I was perhaps over protective). If there is a next time we will probably use the train! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
