Romantic Outing
Wed, Jul 22  7:00 PM AllanSchramm Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Other
This was our 26th wedding anniversary. I am 72; my wife is 64. This is 2nd marriage for both of us. The Gondola outing was magnificent. The "trip" along the canal between the Charles and the Esplanade was excellent for the first "leg" of the outing. We crossed under bridges (tradition is: a kiss) and mingled with frollicking kayakers and the like. Then, 2nd half is out in the open of the Charles. Nice contrast. We experienced having our pictures taken by several folks on the bridges that we went under and from the shore. The accordian music was sublime. The gondolier and the accordianist were professional. They seemed to enjoy what they were doing. We had magnificent weather and this was a bonus. We did the 7 pm trip and that was nice. A moonlit trip or one at dusk would be great too, I'm sure. All in all, it was well worth the money.

My husband and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary and was looking forward to our first sunset condola ride. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a cloudy evening and we never saw the sun set. I loved the setting of the small canal, unfortunately there was debris in the water off to the side and the canal is right off the street which makes it a little difficult to be romantic. We began to enjoy the woman who sang and played the accordian but unfortunately it began to rain and she had to put away her instrument and we had to listen to a tape. I would still give it a shot though.

Thirty-fifth wedding treat!
Sun, Jul 12  8:00 PM JoanMahon Female 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
After spending a full day in Boston Harbor, hiking on Spectacle Island, walking through the North End, eating pizza from the Upper Crust on Charles St. in the Public Gardens, we walked over the Arthur Fiedler Footbridge to the Charles. We were more than ready for the tranquil gondola ride on the river. With footrests and a basket of goodies at our feet we sat back on the comfortable throne like seats. The gondelier and the accordian player were friendly but once on the boat kept to themselves and let us relax. A splendid way to end a splendid day!

Extremely wonderful and romantic!
Sat, Jul 11  6:30 PM derrickmeade Male 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
This was a very wonderful experience and I highly recommend it!!! I took my (now) fiancée on this for our engagement proposal, it was truly romantic and very unique (and of course she said yes!). The special service they offer when it comes to proposals is a great idea any I recommend any considering proposals with this event to look into it. The live music was amazing and really set a pleasant atmosphere, the whole thing exceeded my expectations which were already set high. The staff was very professional and friendly, we can't wait to go again soon and relive this!

A Most Spectacular Evening
Fri, Jul 10  7:00 PM wyndyk Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
The whole event was wonderful, start to finish. We were 2 couples celebrating a birthday for one of us. The weather cooperated fantastically, and they had prepared a picnic basket full of cheese/crackers, strawberries and chocolates! The wine we brought was uncorked and put in an ice bucket, and off we went . . . and the singer/accordian player was great. The gondolier and singer both were 'invisible' and never spoke unless spoken to (which wasn't necessary, but we realize that's probably part of it - they aren't the event, the trip itself is). I've already recommended this to anyone wanting an unusual celebration, or just a peaceful cruise around the Charles River. We were never more than 50 feet from shore, more often we were closer. I will definately make reservations again. Many thanks for a wonderful evening cruise!

Venice in Boston--Who Knew?
Thu, Jul 9  9:00 PM mincone Female 60-69 Local Other
Cannot believe that we had never heard of this tour. It was wonderful! My husband and I had been to Venice several years ago and I decided that this tour would make a wonderful surprise birthday gift for him. We went out at 9:00 p.m. and there was only one other boat on the water. Everything from the gondolier, the accordian player, the complimentary picnic basket, etc. was PERFECT! It felt just like we were in Venice! I highly recommend this tour--one of Boston's best kept secrets!!!!!!!
