Our trip was postponed due to rain. It was WELL worth the wait. We had Bella the accordian player who was awesome! I highly recommend this trip. It was a great belated 6 month anniversary present! |

The evening was perfect for the gondola ride. I surprised my girlfriend for her 21st birthday and she loved every second of it. All she kept saying was "this is so romantic. I love you so much!" Our Gondolier, Marco, was very pleasant and gave us a good background history of the gondolas. Our accordion player, Marlena, was an excellent player/singer. she set the mood perfectly for the whole ride. Her birthday surprise did not end there. I made reservation in the North End for a whole night of Italy.
I would recommend this idea to everyone, couple, friends and parents. Nothing is more romantic then just the two of you cuddle up looking at the Boston skyline. she will love you even more for this unforgettable experience. you won't regret anything. |

Booked this as a special treat on a recent trip to Boston. Managed to get it to concide with sunset to add a little something extra. This was easily the best thing about our trip, besides watching the Yankees beat the Sox at Fenway! From the moment we boarded the gondola, our driver made us feel at ease. We were encouraged to take off our shoes, put our feet up, and relax. There was an unobtrusive accordian player who quietly played classics in the background. They also provided us with a wine bucket to chill a bottle of wine or champagne for our ride. This ride is a private way to enjoy seeing the city from a different perspective without the crowds of the duck boats or ferries. Perhaps a little pricy, but not much more than you would pay in Venice for the same amount of time on the river. Great for a special or romantic occasion. |

This ride was absolutely amazing! We went at the time of sunset on a beautiful summer night. Our Gondalier took such good care of us explaining the gondola to us, how it was constructed and it's history. He then retreated to the back of the boat and let my girlfriend and I just sit back and enjoy the ride. Such a romantic night, it was a great surprise for my girlfriend. I highly recommend it! |

Due to the weather, we were forced to stay in the canal. It would have been great to get a discount voucher for another ride. 50 minutes seemed a bit short...largly because the experience was so enjoyable. Otherwise, inpeccable service and great experience! |

All three representatives were excellent and very professional, as well as, accommodating. It was quite hot and humid and we had forgotten out bottle of sparkling wine in the car. We informed them of this mishap upon being asked if we wanted anything chilled and they immediately told us that they would prepare something for us. They grabbed a couple of bottles of water and off we went. An amazing experience. I decided to bring Italy to Boston for a day for my girlfriends birthday and this was an excellent means of closing out the night. |

My girlfriend and I had a great time on the gondola. The musician really set the mood for the ride, and the snacks were a nice touch. I would definitely recommend the gondola tours for a couple looking to do something fun and romantic in Boston. |

I found this online while looking for a good birthday date. I kept it a secret, and she was very happy with her surprise. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the ride itself was peaceful and lovely in general. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to do something for thier special someone. |
