| 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. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| We received this as a gift from our daughter who got engaged on the Gondola ride. She decided this was a perfect gift for us and she was so right. It was just the most relaxing evening and a nice way to spend time with the one you love. The gondolier, accordian player/singer were just wonderful. The gift basket with fruit,cheese, crackers and chocolate and wine glasses for the wine we brought helped to add to this special evening. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to get away from it all and reconnect. |

| 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!!!!!!! |

| The Gondolier was skillful and thoughtful helping us in and out of the gondola.
Our singer was wonderful she doubled the pleasure of the experience.
We selected a sunny afternoon which worked for us.
The cheese and crackers and sparkeling water added to the day.
We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.
The value received more than justified the expense. |
