| My wife has always wanted to go to Venice for a gondolla ride. Needless to say, that was not going to happen, especially since the dollor is in the tank. So, I got the idea to see if there were any authentic gondolas in the US. Authentic Venetian gondolas are very hard to find in the USA. There are a few on the west coast and few on the east coast and thankfully Robert's in Huntsville, Al. For my wife, she felt that it was a dream come true. I would highly reccommend a trip to Huntsville for that very special date. The Bridge Street Town Center has a hotel which is very convenent for a weekend get away. And, Robert makes the date very special. So you want to pop the question, this is the place to do it. |

| The gondola tour was even more romantic than I had imagined. My boyfriend did this for my birthday, because he thought I would enjoy it. But, he enjoyed it just as much as I did! It was peaceful and relaxing. Roberto, the gondolier, was very professional and friendly. We loved hearing his gondola travel stories. We look forward to taking another gondola tour through Venice/Huntsville! |

| My husband and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary at the Westin @ Bridge Street and as a special surprise I booked a gondola ride. We absolutely loved every minute of it! The music was romantic and the setting perfect to relax and unwind! Ricardo was an awesome guide and we enjoyed conversation with him- he also gave us plenty of time to talk with "just us"and we appreciated that. I would highly recommend booking this event to another couple seeking romance and just a chance to relax and get away from it all. |

| The gondola package that we chose included the chocolates, picture, recorded music, and the ice bucket and wine glasses. We had to provide our own wine which was a bit of a surprise. We had a wonderful gondola ride. The gondola was beautiful. The gondolier was very pleasant. The ride was smooth, and It was romantic. Our ride was at night. It felt like we were in another city. |

| I booked this as a surprise for my wife on our 25th anniversary. We were greeted by Robert, who made a point of wishing us Happy Anniversary. After a brief introduction of the company and the traditions of the gondola, he was quiet and unobtrusive. When asked about this or that, he would give a 2-3 minute explanation, then be quiet again to let us enjoy the ride. It was worth every penny for the tour. |

| I scheduled our gondola ride for a wedding anniversary. We had riden in one in Venice for a previous anniversary and we could not pass up the opportunity with it so close. It was great to hear the stories about the gondola being made in Venice and brought to the U.S. We went just as the sun was setting which turned out to be the perfect time for a ride. The price is a little high, but a great experience. |

| My wife and I found it to be an extremely romantic and relaxing way to celebrate our 23rd anniversary. The guide was very knowledgeable yet very sensitive to our privacy and did not attempt to engage in conversation but allowed us to enjoy the time together. The ride was very smooth and at times felt as if we were not moving at all. We found it to be very quiet despite the nearness of interstate traffic. We were very impressed that this oasis is so close and convenient. What a great get a way for anyone. We will defnitely do this again! |
