| I loved the tour. It was the perfect engagement. The people were very knowledgeable and the woman had an amazing voice. It really felt like we were in Italy and of course my fiance said yes. |

| I was having a hard time decide on where or how to engage to my girlfreind while keeping it original and not cliche. I overheard someone mentioning that they have a gondola service in Boston, in which I began to research. The person I set the tour up was great and informed of me of their top secret engagement plan (which worked perfect) and what options we had for a ride. I chose the best ride and I am happy I did. The cheese, crackers, strawberries, chocolates, etc. were a perfect touch. We were early and they accomodated us. I plan to go back for future anniversaries. You will not find a more romantic, original idea in New England |

| I celebrated my girlfriends 30th birthday, and she loved it. We had the entire river to ourselves - and it was very romantic. Crew was very friendly. I would go back again, great time. |

| Met all of our expectations. I'm wondering if there is enough appreciation for the gondola tours on the Charles. We've known about it for a long time and finally had the opportunity to try it. Bringing a small piece of Venice to Boston! I wish you guys great longevity and the hope that it will reach the legendary level of the Swann Boats. It is certainly headed in that direction.
Thanks! |

| My wife and I celebrated our anniversary last week with an evening Bellissimo gondola tour on a flat/calm night after sunset. It was a great experience with cheerful boatman and accordionist/singer with a good variety of music that complemented the evening. An hour is a good length, gets you up into the Charles and out where you can see the lights, and back. It's always amazing how you can find places where it's so quiet, in the middle of the city. I can't compare Bellissimo to the other tour options available, but the surprise (to us) extras were very nice and having the option to stick a bottle that we brought with us on ice was appreciated. Nice time, and highly recommended to others. (If you bring your camera for night shots of city lights, be sure it can be set up to a high ISO setting and just live with whatever digital noise results. Our camera was set at 400 - forgot to double-check before starting - and that wasn't remotely fast enough to avoid motion blur even though it was flat calm and a smooth ride.) |

| That was the most wonderful day I have ever experienced. My boyfriend told me that he had a suprise for that Saturday, but he gave no clue about what would it be like. The day started with a beautiful red roses, then he took me to the riverside, with the beautiful view of Charles River we started to wait for something. I started to get very curious for what could happen, he told me that we were upto something, but what?????????? Then the Gondola di Venezia staff greeted us and they told us our gondola was ready. I got very excited at that moment because I realized that we were upto something very very special. After we took our seats they brought me beautiful pink roses, a picnic basket, and a bottle of wine. We opened the picnic basket which had a candel, two glasses, and some snacks like strawberries, chocolates, crakers and cheese... Moreover there was a musician who played romantic love rthyms with accordion all trip long. Then we started our tour on Charsles River when sun slowly started to down. We kissed while crossing under every bridge, because they told us it brings luck. Finally my love suddenly took out a little white box, a ring box. He looked into my eyes and asked me to marry him, I said YESSSS... I love him so much and I would like to thank to the staff working there and to the person who brings that special oppurtunity to Boston. Thank you all, that was the most special, wonderful day I have ever lived. Thank you... :) |

| This was probably the most romantic thing my husband and I have done in nine years of marriage. The gondolere and the accordianist were great. Her voice was beautiful and we made some encore requests. Seemed like no one else was around. Beautiful roses and snacks to enjoy. Overall amazing |

| My brother and I sent my parents on a ride for their 40th wedding anniversary. They returned from the trip absolutely beaming! They said it was the most wonderful, romantic evening they had spent in years. They absolutely enjoyed every aspect of the ride! |

| I can’t imagine a more romantic evening than dinner in a nice restaurant, followed by a cruise in a gondola with roses, strawberries and chocolate. These folks have thought of every detail and spare no effort to provide you with an unforgettable experience. My lady was reduced to a puddle of joyful tears and has not stopped talking about this to everyone she knows and several she didn’t. Gentlemen, it’s not a matter of ‘if,’ it must be a matter of ‘when.’ If you are within 100 miles of Boston, sign up for this truly magnificent experience. It’s easily worth twice the price. After this, I figure I can do no wrong for at least a decade! |
