Activity Description
Enjoy priceless skyline views and the magic of an authentic, hand-crafted Venetian gondola in the Il Bacio Tour! Pass under quaint bridges and mingle with sails as your trained and uniformed gondolier rows you peacefully along.

The Il Bacio is a scaled-down version of our most popular tour, the Mezza Luna, without the live music of our skilled accordion players.

This cruise along The Esplanade and into the Charles River includes:

  • A PRIVATE 50 minute cruise
  • A basket of cheese & crackers
  • Rich chocolates
  • Recorded accordion music (if requested)
One ticket admits the first two passengers.
Up to 4 additional passengers may board at a charge of $15 per person.

All tours include an ice bucket, ice and champagne or wine glasses. Don’t forget to bring your favorite vintage of champagne or wine!  
 
(*You may opt  to purchase your glasses to take home as souvenirs, if you wish!) 



At night, votive candles will be lit to create the perfect romantic ambiance. Couples, don't forget, a kiss under any bridge brings good luck to all!

Incredible photo opportunities on the tour include the Boston and Cambridge skylines, featuring Fenway Park, the Citgo Sign, the Bunker Hill Monument, MIT, and the Hancock and Prudential Towers; the Longfellow Bridge, Venetian-style bridges and lighted fountains; and the famous Dragon Boats!

NOTE: The Il Bacio Tour is generally offered in the afternoon and late evening. For a tour around sunset, please consider the Mezza Luna and Bellissimo Tours!
