From the moment we arrived the people set a calming very professional tone, introducing themselves to us. They took the time to really explain details about the gondola and where it comes from, which was delightful. Also, the details taken into account, the bouquet of roses, the picnic basket of goodies, and chilled water, including the accordian music playing in the background all added to the romantic atmosphere. The details made it even better the the actual venician experience for our honeymoon three years ago. The entire experience is really the best kept secret in Boston! And defiently worth your money. |

This was an excellent experience. I loved it. All I have to say is that she said "YES" I strongly recommend it for all couples even if it's not for a marriage proposal, I chose it to be and it worked out perfectly. Thanks.

I booked this just one day in advance, hoping to make my fiance's birthday something to remember. I really can't say enough how incredible this experience was, from the professionalism of the gondola team, to the romantic sounds of the accordion music as we drifted peacefully along the Charles River.
Although it helped to have a virtually perfect sky-blue day, what really made it perfect was the look on her face when we arrived, and the complete relaxation she experienced during the trip.
The hour felt endless, and with the bottle of champagne we picked up at a small local wine shop on Charles Street before we arrived (and placed nicely on ice by the gondola team!), this was a day to remember! |

I proposed on this tour to my girlfriend and she overwhelmingly said yes. The guys on the tour did a great job making sure we were comfortable and providing anything we needed (even a huge umbrella for rain, which we used at one point.). I guess what impressed me the most was when I got a call at 9am the morning of the tour warning me of rain. Joe asked me to reschedule the tour earlier so we would avoid the rain and gave me possible times. That was very professional.
Now that you know the tour is great, here's some advice on what tour to take. I immediately chose the most expensive tour b/c I was proposing and I wanted everything to be as nice as possible. However, I didn't look into it and I could have saved $80 and gone without the personal pictures during the tour (you can use your own camera if you have one), large picture of the gondolas, and a can of sparkling soda (not necessary if you bring wine anyway). So, maybe you want to go with the other tour. Your choice. But again, bottom line is this tour is very romantic and done well.

Birthday Celebration (Bellisimo Tour)

My husband and I took our friends out for a birthday celebration on your gondola . We had such a wonderful gondola crew. The gentlman who greeted us was so accommadating,Stephano our gondola guide was just perfect,and Marlana(accordion player)had the most beautiful voice. We were very satisfied,relaxed,and enjoyed our experience very much.
The only thing I would recommend is that the basket presentation is more bountiful,and sanitary. The cheese should be cut into nice slices and not as if it were shaved,the strawberries did not seem to be washed. Needless to say I would work on a tray assortment.
We will look forward to doing this again, |

A unique and fun experience

A combination 30th wedding anniversary and my wife's 50th birthday this was a great choice. Different and unique, we had a young Italian gondolier and a young lady accordian player. I realize the snack food that was included has to appeal to a wide range of customers, for us it could have been better but it did not take away from the experience. We went at sunset and drew smiles from onlookers. Prior to our tour we were told the story behind the gondolas in Boston. Handcrafted in Italy by master artisans whose ranks are fast dwindling these "original" gondolas are unique to Boston outside of Venice Italy. A BIG thumbs up!! |
