| I took my wife out on the gondola tour for her birthday - it was wonderful! Cozily sitting together, sipping wine while the gondolier rowed along the Charles River proved to be a very romantic time. Molto Bacios!
However, to me, the tour lends itself to couples, not families.
I highly recommend this to any couples in love. |

| We had a great time and if we are ever in Boston again, we will take another ride! The service was great - and everyone was so friendly. It was the perfect ending to our trip and we would highly recommend it as a must do in Boston.
Thanks for a great night! |

| As the fall sun was setting, I got down on one knee and asked my girlfriend to marry me. Even now, I can still recall the sun reflecting off her lovely face as the word, “Yes” echoes in my ears. We definitely had an amazing and memorable gondola experience. Furthermore, the gondola staff was very polite, accommodating, and professional. I highly recommend everyone to take a “Boston Gondola Tour!" BLB |

| The first time I went on the tour I went with my husband and another couple. We are traveling to Venice next spring so we thougt it would be a nice prefice to our trip. It was so lovely and romantic.
The next time I went I took my elderly father on his birthday. He was a little apprehensive before we got there but her enjoyed in immensley and has not stopped talking about it since.
The gondola was beautiful and I felt very honored to have one of the few woman godoliers in the world. She was great!
It was a unique experience and makes a very nice gift for someone. Will definetely book it again. |

| This was by far the most romantic and relaxing experience me and my girlfriend ever had. The gondolier and host were friendly, professional, and a pleasure to talk to. The tour itself was beautiful, although late in the year it was a bit cold, but the fleece blankets they provided were great. Even on the Il Bacio there are snacks to enjoy and sparkling water. The music was relaxing and just set the tone, and if you want it to feel like it's just you and your date, it does. The gondolier is so quiet you don't know he's there. The ride was smooth and the views gorgeous. I'd highly recommend it, it was worth every single penny. |

| This was a fantastic surprise for my woman. Acted as if we were going to spend the evening at the Hatshell drinking a bottle of wine on a perfect night. Once arrived no one was playing of course and acted very disappointed. At that time we were walking up to the gondola booth and acted curious as to what was happening at the location. To her surprise when she saw it said Gondola tours she knew finally what we were doing that evening with the bottle of wine. She was extremely surprised and we both enjoyed the tour thoroughly and sad that it ended after 50min. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants some time alone with their special someone. Staff was kind and courteous and prompt. Thumbs up! |

| The tour was absolutely wonderful! The gondolier was funny and informative, but gave us lots of privacy during the ride. Boston from the Charles at night is simply stunning. The gondola was roomy and comfortable, and the basket of goodies they brought us was delicious - a perfect complement to the bottle of wine we brought. Romantic, different, highly recommended. |

| Can't say enough about how excellent this was. We had great weather, time of day and Gondola pilot, Carlos. Although being stressed about making it on time due to no parking in immediate area and running late after misplacing tickets, everyone involved were very nice and reassuring about the experience we were about to have being a great way to unwind, and didn't let us down. Carlos gave us a quick explaination about the gondola, set up cheese and crackers, opened the wine, turned on some italian music, and left the rest of the trip to ourselves. We will definately be back and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great night out. |

| Our Gondoleer, Stephano, was a master at steering his craft, we when out on the Charles River with sailboats darting back and forth at sunset, it was quite moving. And Stephano even stopped at points and rotated the boat so we could take in the whole skyline of Boston. It was a great way to spend our 5th anniversary. |

| My wife and I took the "il Baccio" Gondola tour to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. It was a great way to mark the special occassion. Relaxing and Romantic. All of your staff was courteous, informative and attentive. Just the right amount of time on the water - great views - great Gondolier - Carlo!!! The taped italian music gave off the perfect ambience. My wife loved it and it was the perfect start to a perfect evening of celebration. We will definitely be back again and have told all our family and friends that they should take a gondala tour too!!!!! |
