| The MezzaLuna was part of my wife's birthday gift. By far one of the best experiences we've ever had. Very relaxing and romantic. The gondolier and accordion player were the ultimate professionals. I'd recommend this without reservation to anyone. |

Relaxing, fun experience.

| The gondola ride is an experience you can't get anywhere else. It's fun and relaxing, and the complimentary food is nice. The gondolier and accordion player were really friendly and did a great job. I definitely enjoyed going at 10; I don't think I would have enjoyed it very much going earlier. Like I said, it's definitely a special experience, but the price seems a bit hefty for only 50 minutes. Also, a lot of girls specifically don't like red roses. Perhaps for the complimentary roses you should be able to select a color online when you buy the tickets. |

| I would just like to say thank you to the people of Gondola Tours. You made our trip to Boston one of the best we've ever taken.
The Gondolier was extremely friendly, the Accordian player was amazing! (she even sang to us), and the entire experience was just breathtaking. To see the city from the Charles River at night was simply unbelievable!!
We brought a bottle of wine with us and it was just the perfect compliment to a perfect evening. Went very nicely with the cheese/crackers and chocolates that they provide.
Tour left on time and didn't come back a minute before we were supposed to.
I earned MAJOR points for surprising my wife with this experience and, as i was told, was probably the most romantic thing i have ever done.
Guys, don't miss out on this....you and especially your wife/girlfriend will remember it forever!
Don't be skeptical.....just book the tour! You won't regret this one!

| It was my husband's Birthday. I wanted to do something different. The gondola ride down the Charles was perfect. We had a lovely young lady playing the accordion - she was great. The gondolier gave us a smooth ride.
Definitely recommend. |

| We had a wonderful time. Although this may seem a bit on the expensive side, we feel that it is a very good value for the money. We took a night time trip and it was quite romantic. The gondolier and the accordian player were truly dedicated to giving us a positive experience, and very attentive to our needs and desires. We would definately suggest this to our friends, and hope to go again. |

| We enjoyed the crew assigned to our gondola, as they played their roles as Venetians to perfection. The handcrafted gondola itself was magnificent, charming and majestic as we traversed the Charles' canal. The accompanied chocolates, cheese & crackers were tasty but a bit soft due to the high temps. Since it was a hot day, an umbrella was provided to shade us from the sun (which we did use). The only real disappointment, was the route we didn't take. At first we started slowly down the canal heading west, going under the low arched bridges which we had only walked on prior to this romantic ride - so this was very exciting, especially due to the rule that couples must kiss every time a bridged is passed under. But then we suddenly stopped moving down river and began twenty minutes of going in circles, multiple times. At first we thought this was ok, for it provided a 360 degree view of Boston/Cambridge. However, after the first turn around any additional circles seemed to be a waste of time/filler. We should have continued down river for more bridges/kisses and beautiful scenery. The "wind" was the provided excuse for not heading into the open river itself, which we could accept. But not sharing more of the canal, and its ambiance was disheartening. So our overall rating is a solid good with the potential of being very good -to- excellent given more of the river to experience.
Best,

| We had a wonderful time. The music was soothing and going at sunset was definately a good idea. Get to see both day and night. I recommend this tour. |
