| 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 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! |

| 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. |

| 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, |

| The smooth gondola ride, lovely music, roses, chocolates, Italian treats and Boston skyline all are a recipe for romance. My wife felt like a queen as the gondoliere helped her into her seat. We spent the next hour drifting along the Charles River to celebrate our wedding anniversary.......the rest of the world sped along at its frenzied pace. What an wonderful, and easy, way to celebrate a special occasion! |

| 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... :) |

| 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. |
