| My husband and I were very pleased with our Mezza Luna experience. We had rescheduled from an evening ride to an eleven p.m. ride. At first we were leary of this change, but after cruising silently through the water with no other boats around, we felt that we had the city to ourselves. I highly recommend riding on the river after dark.
We also highly recommend the accordian player-- it was so special to have live music in the boat with us. I'd definitely say spending the extra money for live music is worth it!
Finally, everyone I spoke to-- from making the reservations to Charlie and Marco to the accordian player- were very friendly and polite.
Overall a truly magical experience!

| With the music, the lapping waves, and the beautiful boat by lantern light, this makes a wonderfully romantic experience. Highly recommended! A highlight of the year. |

| I would highly recommend this tour! We were treated warmly by our gondolier and accordian player and instantly made to feel comfortable for our romanitc and relaxing journey on the Charles. The views of Boston and Cambridge from the water were great. Don't forget the Champage to accompany the picket basket of goodies they provide. Relax, enjoy and let the romance in. |

| Thinking of celebrating your first wedding anniversary? We were - and did. Took the gondola on a brilliantly sunny, lazy day, on the Charles River, and under the canal-like bridges, next to Back Bay. An accordionist behind us, singing romantic songs, the steady squeaking of the gondolier's pole propelling us forward... Can't think of a better-spent hour! |

| I suprised my boyfriend and took him to dinner then we bought two bottles of champagne... we walked to the Charles and he had no idea what we were doing. When we got to the place he was so excited and it was the most romantic thing we have done together. The music was fabulous, the night air was warm and clear, and the basket of treats was perfect... we both agreed that it was the best date we ever had. |

| I had read the reviews before doing this and even with all the great ratings I still had doubts on how it would be. It ended up being that much and more...the gondelier was extremely personable and welcoming and just facilitated the end of a great evening out. Highly recommended .... |

| The Gondola ride was fantastic. I had my doubts about the 9:00 pm reservation. But honestly, night time has to be the most romantic time to reserve. Boston looks absolutely beautiful at night. It definitely sets the mood.
The rower and acordian player really made the experience memorable. The rower kept the Gondola moving at a perfect pace. The acordian player sounded great, her pauses between songs were ideal to let us talk.
I do not think I will do it again, only because it was so original. I will, however, recommend it to anybody and everybody who wants a romantic night in Boston.
Kudos to you Gondola people. When we got home, I have never seen my pants get taken off so quickly. Amazing. Well worth the money.
