Taste of Venice in Boston's Back Bay!
Thu, Jul 26, 07   5:00 PM lscauldwell Female 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
We'd been wanting to do this ever since we'd been to Venice. It was a perfect way to mark our tenth wedding anniversary. Once out on the canal, the intense sun and heat at 5:00pm on a Thursday wasn't so bad. The biggest surprise was how much of Boston we could see from our gondola's vantage point. Runners and bikers and picnickers on the Esplanade; rush-hour cars streaming down Storrow Drive; sailboats and windsurfers on the Charles; geese and some goslings along the banks; and several self-appointed ducks as hungry mascots. Behind it all were the townhouses of Back Bay and hotels and dorms of Cambridge doing an impressive job of standing in for the palazzos of the Grand Canal! Bello!

This was an excellent experience. I loved it. All I have to say is that she said "YES" I strongly recommend it for all couples even if it's not for a marriage proposal, I chose it to be and it worked out perfectly. Thanks. -Frank

I earned big points with my wife for her birthday! Not only was the staff delightful, but the gondola itself was beautiful and comfortable.

Fun, Romantic, Touristy and Pretty

Glad we did it. All of the adjectives above. The two people - gondolier and accordion player both enthusiastic and professional. Only wish we had gone into the Charles more than just turning around. We realize that it may be more difficult for the paddler! Yet, the inlet inside the Esplanade doesn't feel like the mighty, beautiful Charles. Also, felt a tiny bit shy of the 50 minutes it was suppose to be. Did not time it, but when we got out it was earlier than 7:50pm. Overall, a fun thing to do.

A great evening!

When I first heard about this Gondola Tour, I thought it might be too cliche -- especially since we live in downtown Boston and are very picky about "touristy" attractions. But, after reading the brochure, I thought it sounded like it could be a nice surprise for my husband's birthday. Well, it ended up surpassing all of our expectations. A very special and romantic evening - it almost didn't seem like we were in Boston. Our friends met us on the dock with some champagne and we were welcomed aboard by our very nice gondolier. I must say that our accordian player Megan was wonderful - she really made the experience. Her voice is amazing. I was also impressed by the gondola itself. A beautiful boat, with very comfortable seating. I highly recommend this experience!

Very romantic, very awsome!

A wonderful experience that I would recommend, and already have to anyone. It was our 28th wedding anniversary and as you can guess after so many years it gets hard to find unique things to do to celebrate. This experience was definatly unique and enjoyable experience

Most romantic thing to do in Boston
Wed, Aug 1, 07   7:00 PM serbia01 Female 20-29 Unspecified Unspecified
From the moment we arrived the people set a calming very professional tone, introducing themselves to us. They took the time to really explain details about the gondola and where it comes from, which was delightful. Also, the details taken into account, the bouquet of roses, the picnic basket of goodies, and chilled water, including the accordian music playing in the background all added to the romantic atmosphere. The details made it even better the the actual venician experience for our honeymoon three years ago. The entire experience is really the best kept secret in Boston! And defiently worth your money.

Romantic Date With My Wife
Sat, Aug 4, 07   4:00 PM aravech Male 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
We enjoyed the crew assigned to our gondola, as they played their roles as Venetians to perfection. The handcrafted gondola itself was magnificent, charming and majestic as we traversed the Charles' canal. The accompanied chocolates, cheese & crackers were tasty but a bit soft due to the high temps. Since it was a hot day, an umbrella was provided to shade us from the sun (which we did use). The only real disappointment, was the route we didn't take. At first we started slowly down the canal heading west, going under the low arched bridges which we had only walked on prior to this romantic ride - so this was very exciting, especially due to the rule that couples must kiss every time a bridged is passed under. But then we suddenly stopped moving down river and began twenty minutes of going in circles, multiple times. At first we thought this was ok, for it provided a 360 degree view of Boston/Cambridge. However, after the first turn around any additional circles seemed to be a waste of time/filler. We should have continued down river for more bridges/kisses and beautiful scenery. The "wind" was the provided excuse for not heading into the open river itself, which we could accept. But not sharing more of the canal, and its ambiance was disheartening. So our overall rating is a solid good with the potential of being very good -to- excellent given more of the river to experience. Best, Wendy & Andy - Needham, MA

This was a surprise for my Husband, I am in charge of the Romance Department. He really enjoyed the Gondola. I highly recommend the sunset tour. The City was beautiful. Stephano ordered up the weather just perfect for us. LOL
