Skott, I always took the vaparetto because it was so much cheaper and really no difference except a few more stops. When I had inquired about sharing costs I was told they charge everyone separately so I am not sure how that would work. I would just ask when you arrive, they are both right there outside of the airport and rail station.

Alilaguna says that a shared taxi (taxi colletivo) costs IL45,000 per person, baggage included. I don't know how many people can share a taxi. Apparently, they do not charge per stop. I looked into this because as far as I can tell, the stop I need (Madonna dell'Orto) is a tedious and somewhat complicated trip from the airport after a long (from LA) flight and our hotel tells me that a private (not shared) taxi costs IL150,000. But we are only 2 people; with 4 people, a shared taxi would cost more than a private one. Also, I think your stop is a bit easier(or at least shorter)to get to -- I think you have to take the Alilaguna to San Marco and a vaporetto back to the Ca' d'Oro. I say "I think" because I've never been to Venice (but I'm going on Tuesday!). To be sure of the answer to a Venice question, I would try to ask Paulo.

Now that this was brought up, we are a family of 4 and planned on taking a taxi directly from airport to our hotel with no stops in between. We want to check into our hotel ASAP because i know my kids be a little bent out of shape after spending the night on the plane. will they charge us per person/child? From what i thought i had figured out, it will be about a flat rate of $75 (which seems to be par with Judy's info from the hotel). I also fugured the airport boat would charge per person so the taxi wouldn't be that much more. Is this correct? Thanks much.
