Bellissimo - Our most luxurious gondola tour!

I started planning my proposal months in advance for my girlfriend. I was looking for unique ideas to propose and stumbled upon Gondola di Venezia when I was researching romantic places in Boston. Now we're from New Jersey so I have taken her to every major hot spot and romantic place in NYC so I felt that proposing there wouldn't carry the spark that I wanted. But I knew that Gondola di Venezia was the one once I saw all the items that came with the Bellissimo package!! I googled ahead of time when sunset would happen so that I can pick the appropriate boat ride. The gondolier and accordian player were great and really set the mood. They did not talk to you during the ride unless you wanted them too. The whole ride was magical but adding the message in a bottle feature was the most important thing I did. My girlfriend always asked me to write her a love letter and this was THE opportunity for me to do so. However, I did not propose in the letter because I felt that it was too cliche. Instead, the message in a bottle gives you the perfect opportunity to prepare the ring and to set the stage for the actual proposal. I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out (perfect weather doesn't hurt either). GUYS, this is the proposal that you need to do! It will make your lady feel very special and that's what really matters. Plus, making her friends jealous and making you look great doesn't hurt either....hehe. Thank you Gondola di Venezia for the perfect proposal. It's amazing how many people have not heard of you yet. (and I know people that live in Boston)

I proposed to my longtime girlfriend on the Gondola. Unfortunately, it got cancelled because of a thunderstorm on Saturday. Since we were from out of the country and in Boston only for a brief visit, Steve (the owner of Boston Gondola) was able to reschedule us for the next day on short notice. The whole experience was first class. The Gondola ride was very romantic and the accordian player/singer was truly amazing. I proposed to her in the middle of the charles river and it was truly a lovely experience. We will def be back on our next trip to Boston. Thank you so much for making this a memorable and enjoyable experience!

Perfect setting to get engaged. Gondolier was exceptionally friendly. Absolutely loved the accordian player, who sang so beautifully in Italian. We were greeted with a picnic basket of chocolates, strawberries, crackers and cheese. The message in a bottle was executed perfectly. So happy that I got engaged this way and my fiance will always have a cool story to tell.

I took my girlfriend in which I proposed to. Our tour was at night and was fantastic. It was ag reat deal more romantic at night rather than the day. You could see Boston lit up and it was a great deal more quiet I imagine. I strongly recommend this to anyone. It will be a time we both never forget.

After a long day of walking around Back Bay of Boston, we came at long last to the highlight of our day - the gondola tour on the Charles River. For the two of us - two romantics very much in love who have been through many of life's trials and tribulations in our 14 years together, but particularly in this past year - everything about this gondola tour couldn't have been more perfect. We took the sunset tour so as we slowly glided out into the river, we began to relax and snuggle with just the right amount of music accompanying us by our musician, and just the right amount of discussion when we initiated it with our gondolier. It was an unforgettable, absolutely perfect evening we shall always cherish! Highly recommended!

this experience is really great, i proposed to my girlfriend and it was something inforgettable, without thinking i'll ride again the gondols, beside the treat is wonderful and they set everything as i imagined, i'll recommend this ride for any ocasion, the lady that sings wow! she really sings wonderful.

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, Erik Bates

It was a beautiful night and our gondola wedding was absolutely wonderful! We would highly recommend it if you are looking to celebrate a special occasion. The service was wonderful. It is a very romantic and private way to get married we absolutely loved it.

Asked my girlfriend to marry me on the tour. Totally memorable experience. Accordion player was great. So was crew as a whole. Highly recommend.

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!!
