I was celebrating my wife's birthday and the weather outside was a little frightful. A representative from GondolaTours contacted me well before my departure time to let me know that they were rescheduling our tour to another date. Since we lived locally, it was fine by us, but little did I know we were going to get some of the best weather GondolaTours so far have seen this season. I was very impressed that they called to reschedule, and the gondolier and musician were great hosts. If you're looking for a romantic evening, this is a wonderful option. |

After having a wonderful experience a week ago, my wife and I decided to give a gondola ride as a gift to her parents. We managed to surprise them and it was perfect, they absolutely love it. I think my favorite thing about the gondolas is that most people don't know about it, so it truely is a surpise up until the last second. |

Best date ever, I was so surprised! |

The accordian player was amazing and the rower was very friendly and accomodating. It was a romantic and authentic experience that made a night out to Boston, one that will not be forgotten. |

Great experience! |

It helped that the weather was perfect, but I decided to surprise my wife with a night time (10pm) Gondola ride. It was awesome. The music, the ride, the snacks, everything was perfect. My wife said it was one of the top three things I've ever done. |

Our 26th Wedding Anniversary - nice sunny day and warm. Great! Take off from work early and this is going to turn out great. However, while I am driving home I get a call on my cell. "Sorry the trip is cancelled because of the weather." Huh? " It is too windy for the boats to go out today." So Plan B has to develop quickly. We go to Boston anyway to visit the waterfront and take in dinner. Getting off the Pike we see several flags near the seaport that are hanging limply - no "high" wind. So we parked by the Aquarium, had dinner and took in a wonderful sunset harbor cruise on very calm waters and sparse clouds.
Meanwhile the gondola operator has my money and we now have to reschedule. We will see how it goes but it won't be our anniversary. I think the "high" winds was just a lot of hot air! |

My girlfriend and I loved everything about the ride. Very polite and informative guide. Accoridion player was also very courteous as well as extremely talented. She performed a nice mix of songs in several languages...including "Happy Birthday" for my girlfriend's birthday. The picnic basket had the perfect mix and quantity of snacks for the ride. And the ride itself provided terrific views of Boston, especially Back Bay. |

I arranged a gondola ride for my mothers 74 birthday. I was concerned about her walking the short distance over the footbridge to the site and talked with the coordinator Megan about it. She was wonderful and understanding and made arrangements for us to drop her off right at the half shell. The day of the surprise Megan called to tell us that there was an event that prohibited our plan to drop off and she arranged to meet us at our parking area and would drive my mom over to the site. Everything went smoothly, Megan met us with her gondola outfit on waving at the corner! My mom was so surprised. It was a beautiful day and the gondola was so enchanting. My two daughters and I gave her birthday kisses under every bridge for good luck. She told us that it was the best surprise anyone had ever given her and she loved every minute of it! Thank you for a great memory, Megan! |

My husband booked this wonderful ride as a surprise ans it was GREAT.
The 2 women we had with us on our ride were a delight. One pointed out some local landmarks along the Charles as we listened to accordion music played by the other. We went on a "sunset" cruise . We both want to go back and go at night to see the lights and candles on the gondola....and the city!!
I would recommend this to anyone
great time !!! |

This is a unique and extremely relaxing way to take in the Charles River and some spectacular Boston views. The gondolas are authentic, Venetian-crafted, artwork in and of themselves. My wife and I went for our anniversary. Few other experiences have been so romantic and enjoyable. Our gondolier, Marco, was delightful and our accordionist, Bella, played wonderfully; they helped make the evening truly memorable. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Boston, or anyone living here, to take advantage of this one-of-a-kind experience. We can't wait to do it again! |
