When we arrived in Venice we bought the tickets on the plane to take the boat there and back. When we went to exchange them at the ticket counter, something that made us lose a lot of time, we were told that the tickets were not ready and we were even scolded for having bought the tickets online and not at the ticket counter.

It took too much time in total; first the waiting time before the boat arrived, then the transfer due to the several stops. In total it has cost us 90 minites of our precious time. As a conseqeunce we didn't use the ticket for the return but booked a taxi taking us from the Isola delle Rose to the Airport in 30 minutes

It was fun to arrive at Venice via boat bus. We had to wait for about 20 minutes at the dock to board. Wish I could of seen more out the widows of the boat. But there was a drop off near my hotel. So it worked out well.
