| It was a surprise for my wife so she had no idea where we were going until we got there. Once there her face lit up because it was something she would never had thought of. The ride was very relaxing and enjoyable and on the day we went there many sail boats out giving us something extra to look at. I say extra because the regular scenery was great. Seeing the city from a different point of view was interesting and towards the end of the ride you coast thru a quiet almost inlet type area that's a nice way to end the ride.
The employs were friendly and polite and made the whole experience enjoyable and memorable.
Over all I would highly recommend it. It's a great surprise for a wife or girl friend and I have to believe it would score big points if you're trying to impress someone new. |

| This was a gift for our 25th wedding anniversary and it was wonderful. We had a perfect warm, sunny October day and the river was filled with sailboats. Our family provided a bottle of wine and the company provided cheese and crackers. Our driver was great. It was a romantic way to see the bridges and walkways by the river. We thoroughly enjoyed it. |

| The Gondola ride was a memorable experience, but I still feel the price was a little steep. My reservation was from 5:30 to 6:20; it ended 10 minutes before sunset. I highly reccommend going during sunset or later. There is still too much activity around the Esplanade during the light hours and it makes for a lot of staring and pointing at the gondola. Night time is always more romantic anywyas! Make sure to bring a great wine for the evening, and also a warm sweater if the weather is brisk; it is alwasy 10-15 degrees colder on the water. Overall a great experience, but I would only do it once. |

| it was a surprise for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved it. i enjoyed it very much as well. everyone involved was very professional and gave us a little bit of background about the boat and gave us cheese and crackers and chocolate, and since we were not of drinking age they were nice enough to put some bottles of water on ice for us. |

| The sunset ride on the gondola afforded us a serene break from the city activities which had kept us on the go since our arrival in Boston. The gondelier was very personable, yet unintrusive on our quiet time. The view of the city from the water at dusk was an interesting experience. The gondola ride enhanced a very enjoyable visit to Boston and was a great addition to our vacation. |

| With champagne chilling on ice, cheese & crackers and a rose for the ladies, we embarked on our ride. With soft music in the background, Marco explained the origin of the boat and how few boats and gondoliers there were outside of Venice.
We enjoyed a wonderfully peaceful view of Boston from a different vantage point. Having grown up in the area, it was surprising to find such a wonderful activity in Boston. I highly recommend the tour for anyone wanting a quiet, unusual view of Boston. |

| I surprised my girlfriend with the Il Bacio gondola ride. It was at sunset on this past Saturday, September 1st. The weather was perfect! The staff was welcoming and very friendly. The ride was so peaceful and relaxing. We shared a bottle of wine and indulged in the treats provided - cheese and crackers and chocolates. The music of Andrea Bocelli was playing on the cd player. So romantic! We had an amazing night and got to experience the beautiful Boston skyline in a whole different way.
I recommend this to everyone planning something special for their date nght!
