Il Bacio - Our standard gondola tour!

It was a great time! Very romantic, the extra touches (chocolate, crackers and cheese, blanket) were great and the staff was absolutely incredible!!!

This date that I took my girlfriend on was extremely peaceful and romantic. She enjoyed every moment of it and I definitely recommend it for any couple.

I'm the adventurous type and my boyfriend hates it. On his birthday in September on cold Saturday evening, we went on a ride and he admitted to me that he had the most wonderful time ever. The gondolier was polite, funny, and left us alone to spend quality time together. The city was beautiful and we talked for what felt like hours even tho it was only 45 minutes. The food was lame tho since they gave us like 5 crackers and a piece of cheese. I would suggest the champagne and wine along with a better package for food. other than that, it was one of the best experience we've had in 5 years. I would go again and would love to go again!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but the ride was really wonderful. The boat was beautiful and the whole experience was relaxing. We live locally, so it was nice to do something out of the ordinary and see the City from a different perspective. The ride was bought for my husband and I as a birthday gift and it was a great way to celebrate. Highly recommend.

My new husband and I were given a gondola tour as a wedding gift, and it might just be the best gift we received! We had a lovely time. The gondolier, Steve, was a delight, it was a beautiful, comfortable ride, we shared a bottle of wine and enjoyed cheese, crackers and chocolates. The views of Boston were stunning: we had never been out on the Charles before so that we very special for us. The staff were exceptionally professional and friendly. All in all a perfect evening.

I booked this tour to celebrate my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend and it was the best date we've ever had! Fortunately for us it was a warm autumn afternoon and our gondolier Tony was amazing. We were able to enjoy the fantastic view of the city and relax in the sun. Tony was very friendly and knowledgeable about the gondola. I enthusiastically recommend this experience!

Il Bacio exceeded all of our expectations. The Gondola was gorgeous, the staff was informed and professional and the setting was perfect. As a Bostonian I'd run along the Charles river thousands of times but I have never appreciated so much as I did from the vantage of the Gondola with a bottle of wine, my significant other, and the glow of the moon. I would recommend this to tourists and locals alike, just a great way to put an exclamation mark on an evening.

Our captain Joseph made for a very nice trip.

I would highly recommend the ride. This was a birthday celebration. It was very relaxing, the day was perfect and the gondolier was friendly and knowledgeable. Since I don't plan on going to Venice in the near future, this was the next best thing. Boston looks great from the canal. I would do it again in a minute.

A thoroughly Italian experience: lovely, romantic classical duets (on CD), wine and cheese and chocolates, a charming gondolier, and the lovely, hand crafted gondola. Imagine gliding along the quiet waters of the Charles River passage, passing under bridges (must kiss under each one for good luck), enjoying the ducks, turtles, water lilies and other bits of nature, watching the city pass by while reclining and enjoying the best Italian delicacies. We live in Boston, right on the river, and loved seeing our great city from this lovely perspective.
