| I was looking for a special present to give my lovely wife in celebration of our 27th anniversary, and couldn't think of anything I hadn't already done for her or bought her. I knew the perfect gift was just simply spending time together but was stumped on what kind of "date" would be something new for us. That's when I heard about the gondola tours on the Charles River. I wanted my wife to have the most enjoyable experience so I purchased the Bellissimo package. It was everything I had hoped for, and my enjoyment that evening was more about her happiness at being treated to something so romantic. The live music and apetizers on board added a nice touch. And the roses are gorgeous. Every once in a while I get it right. Thanks Gondola di Venezia, and Zerve!
Yours truly,

| My husband and I visited Boston for my birthday and did the gondola ride before we went to dinner. The gondolier and accordion player were wonderful guys. They allowed us to relax and enjoy the beautiful view while sipping champagne and munching on strawberries and cheese and crackers. It was a evening to remember and one of the highlights of our trip. It was so romantic and a definite must do event in Boston!! |

| I surprised my wife with a Bellissimo 9pm cruise for our 15th Anniversary. We had a wonderful time and absolutely -zero- stress. I recommend the live music option - once the Gondola moves down the canal and out on the water, the accordian music covers the sounds of the city, yet still allowing you to have intimate conversation. There was even a movie playing at the Hatch Shell, but we did not even hear it once the music and cruise began. A truly wonderful evening we will remember always. We are already talking about sending my parents on their own Bellissimo cruise!

| I chose to book a Bellissimo tour when I proposed to my girlfriend. This was the best thing for that very purpose. The staff is unbelievably courteous, thoughtful, professional and really make the experience simply unforgettable. They had chocolate, cheese and bread. I had picked out a bottle of Cote du Rhone which they had glasses for. We had some great photos taken by their staff. We will never forget that night filled with a beautiful sunset, the calm Charles River water and the accordion while were were serenaded. |

| My wife and I went on the Bellissimo tour for our 18th anniversary.
Our first evening was canceled by Gondola Tours because of rain, and they were very friendly about it. We were already in the area that evening, and they said they'd take us if we wanted, but they really recommended a nicer night. Since they would have gone to waste, they even gave my wife the roses she would have gotten had we taken the tour on our original night.
Rescheduling on the phone was easily and pleasantly done. They were helpful with checking both weather and availability.
We went on the tour over a month later, and had a wonderful time. We went at 9:00, and think it was even better than sunset would have been. The gondolier and the accordion player were available for questions or comments, but were careful to let our time be about enjoying the tour with each other. We enjoyed the snacks, the breeze (not quite cool enough to pull out the blanket), the waves, the bridges, the trees, and everything. There were several couples looking at us as we passed under bridges (we gave them our recommendation). There were even a few fireworks on the horizon while we were out on the river. That was a coincidence, but we pretended that the tour had arranged it for us.
Although the Bellissimo was the most expensive tour, we felt that our hour flew by, and are glad we didn't take a shorter one. The experience as a whole and all the little points were certainly worth it. |

| My wife actually cried when we first started our tour. It is something she had always wanted to do but thought we'd have to be in Italy to do it. I had no idea, I was just trying to do something romantic for her and hit a home run. Everything was exceptional! Great & professional service from the Gondolier to the musician the overall experience was something we will remember for the rest of our lives. Highly recommended to all. We'll be back! |

| LAST SATURDAY, 1 NOV, MY HUSBAND TOOK ME ON ONE OF THE MOST ROMANTIC RIDES WE HAVE EVER HAD. A ONE HOUR GONDOLA RIDE ON THE CHARLES RIVER (BOSTON) WITH THE STRAINS OF ACCORDIAN MUSIC AND LOVE SONGS. THE FACT IT WAS AT SUNDOWN ONLY ENHANCED THE EXPERIENCE. NOT ONLY THAT, I RECEIVED A DOZEN BEUTIFUL RED ROSES. IT IS TRUELY A TRIP THAT ANYONE WITH A LITTLE ROMANCE IN THEIR SOULS WOULD APPRECIATE. |
