I have used two phone numbers from here in the states and both give a message in Italian. Hard to believe that sites that are in English provide unusable numbers since they are messages. The numbers: 011 39 0415209070 & 041 522 4951.Am leaving in 2 days so need help quick. I have been monitoring the site for a few weeks and it's great - will report when return.

Hi

I know it sounds like a duh question, but what time did you call? Venice is 7 hr ahead of the US.

Thanks Ira,
The 1st # i called around noon a few days ago EDT. The 2nd today at 9:30 this AM. You think they were closed, and these were their "i'm closed messages"? I'm so smart and don't know why that didn't occur to me that they were taking their nappies.

To anyone:
Perhaps i can wait till i get to Rome and have the hotel there call ahead to Venice to do it for me. Is that more expensive? What is the scoop on having hotels do stuff for you? Staying in a pretty ritzy place in Rome (Boscolo Grand Palace on the Via Veneto).

Hi doc,

Won't you be staying in Venice? If so, why not ask your hotel to do it for you?

PS,
instead of starting a new thread, you can just post a reply to your old one.

That keeps everything together.

I posted this earlier.

I called the number listed in a travel book. The message in Italian was that the number has been changed.

The new number for same day or next day tickets is: 011 039 041-271-5911

The number for reservations more than one day ahead is 011 39 041-520-9070

ira

Yes,

That's the number he was calling.

Hi Doc,

I called the 9070 nmber the morning at 7:00 AM and got through.

There is a short message in Italian and then one in English.

Very nice young lady helped me. Took about 2 min.
