Great Experience
Sat, Sep 8, 07   5:00 PM leocampo Male 40-49 Local Family Without Children
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!

Midnight ride made the Mezza Luna magical!
Sun, Sep 2, 07   11:00 PM debra_mein Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
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!

Venice in Boston
Sun, Sep 2, 07   5:00 PM wait4me Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
With champagne chilling on ice, cheese & crackers and a rose for the ladies, we embarked on our ride. With soft music in the background, Marco explained the origin of the boat and how few boats and gondoliers there were outside of Venice. We enjoyed a wonderfully peaceful view of Boston from a different vantage point. Having grown up in the area, it was surprising to find such a wonderful activity in Boston. I highly recommend the tour for anyone wanting a quiet, unusual view of Boston.

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.

**** SPECTACULAR DATE NIGHT !!!!! ****
Sat, Sep 1, 07   7:00 PM LOVERGIRL Female 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
I surprised my girlfriend with the Il Bacio gondola ride. It was at sunset on this past Saturday, September 1st. The weather was perfect! The staff was welcoming and very friendly. The ride was so peaceful and relaxing. We shared a bottle of wine and indulged in the treats provided - cheese and crackers and chocolates. The music of Andrea Bocelli was playing on the cd player. So romantic! We had an amazing night and got to experience the beautiful Boston skyline in a whole different way. I recommend this to everyone planning something special for their date nght!

Truly awesome
Sat, Sep 1, 07   5:30 PM mommcgrath53 Female 50-59 Local Family Without Children
I'd heard about the gondola tours on Chronicle and thought it sounded like fun, so I booked it for our 24th anniversary. We were very fortunate that the weather was spectacular the day of our tour. We found the excursion very relaxing and romantic. It made me feel very special that day. We were very impressed with our gondolier and his knowledge of his craft. We recommended it to several of our friends the next day.

Beautiful view of the City
Fri, Aug 31, 07   7:00 PM JKreger Male 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
My GF and I have lived in the city for over 2 years together and this gondola ride was a perfect escape from our hectic lifestyle. It was easy to take a deep breath and relax while not even noticing the fact that you are a stones throw from Storrow Drive. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested. The only flaw (although small) the wine glasses provided were plastic.

Best Date Ever
Sat, Aug 25, 07   8:30 PM christineoly Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
I suprised my boyfriend and took him to dinner then we bought two bottles of champagne... we walked to the Charles and he had no idea what we were doing. When we got to the place he was so excited and it was the most romantic thing we have done together. The music was fabulous, the night air was warm and clear, and the basket of treats was perfect... we both agreed that it was the best date we ever had.

Absolutely fantastic!
Sat, Aug 25, 07   4:30 PM timclose Male 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
This was fantastic! It was my new girlfriend's birthday and I decided to surprise her with a gondola ride. She didn't even know it existed in Boston! She was totally blown away! The gondolier took photos of us with our cameras with the Boston skyline as a backdrop. They were accommodating to our being 5 minutes late, and very cordial overall. The weather was beautiful, and the boat and views were amazing. This was my second time, and I will definitely do this again!

Perfect Proposal
Fri, Aug 24, 07   7:30 PM theplatonist Male 20-29 Local Other
GondolaTours helped me create the perfect proposal opportunity. Not only where they extremely helpful in my own planning, the wonderful picnic basket they provided with cheese and orange sodas was a wonderful post-proposal treat. With the sun setting over Cambridge and the moon rising over Boston, I could not have asked for a better setting!

I had read the reviews before doing this and even with all the great ratings I still had doubts on how it would be. It ended up being that much and more...the gondelier was extremely personable and welcoming and just facilitated the end of a great evening out. Highly recommended ....
