Unfortunately, we had our Goldola ride cancelled again because of suspected bad weather. The first time that they cancelled (our anniversary-- it was going to be a surprise), the weather was actually beautiful. The second time was cloudy. However, it is hard to predict the weather...
On a positive note, they did agree to refund my ticket after the second cancellation. I may consider trying this again, but it will not be as nice as it could have been if it was a surprise on our first anniversary. Unfortunately, that chance will never come again. |

A great way to celebrate a special day. It was a birthday surprise for my wife and she also thought the Gondola ride was a wonderful idea. We arrived about 15 minutes early. Our accordian player greeted us, chilled our wine, and told us we would be ready to go right on time. After a short intro by our gondolier regarding the history of the gondola, etc. we were off on the Charles. A lot of smiles and picture taking greeted us from the shores as we passed by. We enjoyed the wine, as well as the provided cheese and crackers, strawberries, and chocolates. Our accordian player sang in Italian and played great songs to go along with the ride. We were out on the Charles for 50 minutes, as described, and left very happy. I read alot of reviews before booking. Spending this kind of money, I wanted to be sure that the experience would be worth it. I can safely say that I don't really understand the few negative reviews on this site. The staff of Boston Gondola went out of their way to make sure everything was taken care of and we had a wonderful time. No regrets! |

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! |
