it was a surprise for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved it. i enjoyed it very much as well. everyone involved was very professional and gave us a little bit of background about the boat and gave us cheese and crackers and chocolate, and since we were not of drinking age they were nice enough to put some bottles of water on ice for us.

I scheduled this as a birthday surprise for my wife while we were in Boston. I grabbed a bottle of very nice champagne out of the hotel, which she seemed a bit confused over, and we headed towards the charles river where the gondola tour started. She was very shocked to see a guy in a striped shirt, an accordion player, and a gondola waiting for us. The staff was very courteous and professional. I figured out sunset for that particular day, and scheduled the tour accordingly. Yeah, im a geek, but it really paid off. The views were great, and the weather was warm and sunny that day. The food was good and fresh. flowers were fresh. It turned out it was her favorite kind of cheese and her favorite color of flowers, just by chance. I took credit for it, of course. The entire atmosphere was very romantic. Couples pointed us out on our journey, with the girl saying something to the guy (probably the girl asking the guy why he wasn't taking her on a gondola), accompanied by random tourists taking our picture from the shore. The only bad thing -- I didn't realize a few days after this tour -- is that this tour was supposed to include a picture of us. No one even mentioned it during our tour. I had our digital camera and performed a couple self portraits by holding the camera at a distance at ourselves, but it would have been nice if someone was there to do it for us. I think the bellissimo is well worth the money. Do it right and get the full package for that special someone. Its well worth it.

We enjoyed the ride, the gondolier and the service very much and will plan doing it again! We plan to give gift certificates to friends so that they will have the same type of enjoyment.

Cancelled a second time!!!
Sun, Sep 9, 07   7:00 PM rgrondin Male 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
Unfortunately, we had our Goldola ride cancelled again because of suspected bad weather. The first time that they cancelled (our anniversary-- it was going to be a surprise), the weather was actually beautiful. The second time was cloudy. However, it is hard to predict the weather... On a positive note, they did agree to refund my ticket after the second cancellation. I may consider trying this again, but it will not be as nice as it could have been if it was a surprise on our first anniversary. Unfortunately, that chance will never come again.

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!

Wonderful Change of Pace
Wed, Sep 5, 07   7:00 PM CarlGoodholm Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The sunset ride on the gondola afforded us a serene break from the city activities which had kept us on the go since our arrival in Boston. The gondelier was very personable, yet unintrusive on our quiet time. The view of the city from the water at dusk was an interesting experience. The gondola ride enhanced a very enjoyable visit to Boston and was a great addition to our vacation.

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.
