Gondola di Venezia

My girlfriend and I recently took a gondola tour, and we had a great time. We've both lived in Massachusetts for quite some time and had taken several ferry boat rides on the Charles. But nothing compares to the beauty and serenity of taking a tour in a gondola. We took a tour at 8pm, and watched the tail end of the sunset. It is so peaceful on the Charles! We brought along a bottle of champagne, which was a nice complement to the cheese/crackers/strawberries/chocolates they provided us. Stefano (our gondalier) made us feel comfortable and welcome from the start, and made the experience great. Our accordian player was equally amazing and provided the perfect soundtrack to the trip. Even if you've been on ferry rides on the Charles, the gondola tour is not to miss. It's a totally different experience!

We enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to others....it was a very fun thing to do and extremely relaxing.

This would be my second time riding the gondola. We weren't able to go on our scheduled day due to thunder storms. However Gondola Tours was accommadating and very willing to reschedule. I can't wait to reschedule I was able to ride the gondola last year (4 people) and it was great. The staff is authentic and it's a real gondola. They provide fruit, cheese and crackers, and a blanket just in case it was cool. We brought our own wine and they were prepared to open it, set it up and provide the glasses. Very romatic even with another couple.

When we first arrived, we had about 15 minutes to wait for the previous ride to return. We were greeted by our gondolier, he made us feel very welcomed and helped us with our wine and questions. Once we entered the gondola, both our gondolier and Marlena (?) made us comfortable, took our pictures and made the ride totally enjoyable....and what a great accordionist, not only played romantic Italian and Parisian songs but sang in Italian and French. I have and will continue to recommend this as the greatest gift for your loved one's birthday, anniversary or just a great date. I will give this as a gift to our friends for their upcoming anniversaries and I look forward to the fall harvest themed ride. Many thanks for the best secret in Boston (only found the ride when I was searching for something to do on the internet). Had no idea they had been around for 8 years already..... Strongly recommend and highly endorse..... Thank you....

Calm, professional, beautiful ride. A perfect anniversary surprise.

This was for father's day. It was wonderful...better weather would have made it perfect. We went off on time (4pm) after the attendant explained what we could expect. The gondola was clean and ready. An ice bucket and glasses were provided as well as the cheese and chocolate basket. There were 5 adults so it was a full gondola but we were all comfortable. The ride was nice and slow and we were able to chat along the way......the attendant was there to answer questions but he did not intrude on our conversation. I would recommend it to all my friends....it really was unique and a ride we will all remember!

This was my wife's birthday present and she absolutely loved the whole experience. I highly recommend this for any couple looking for a romantic evening together.

We had a wonderful time and got the see the city in a new way. I am definitly recommending this to my friends!!!

A friend of mine told me about this, and I thought it would be a nice surprise for my girlfriend. It was an incredible experience and the perfect date. It's definately worth every penny. It's more private and intimate than one would think. The people are very nice, knowledgable, and accomodating. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something original.

This is a MUST DO activity. I took my husband for his birthday....he was thrilled by the experience. Our gondolier was outstanding! She gave us a great education on gondolas then provided the most private & romantic ride we could ever expect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!

I brought my boyfriend for the Il Bacio tour for his birthday. I knew he would love it, but he enjoyed it even more than I expected. It was like a dream. The tour was so peaceful and beautiful. we kissed under every bridge and it was very romantic. Our gondolier was very nice The recorded music was a nice touch and the crackers and chocolates were tasty. Since there isn't parking for the esplanade, we parked in the financial dictrict in a garage across from the Langham hotel. From the hotel we got a taxi and the ride to the Arthur Fiedler footbridge was only $6. After the tour we took a taxi back and that was just $8. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a romantic and special night.

My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary with a Mezza Luna Gondola ride. The gondola, the gondolier, and the singer's lovely voice gently took us back to Italy where we were married. Thanks for a wonderful time and special memories!

I took my wife out on the gondola tour for her birthday - it was wonderful! Cozily sitting together, sipping wine while the gondolier rowed along the Charles River proved to be a very romantic time. Molto Bacios! However, to me, the tour lends itself to couples, not families. I highly recommend this to any couples in love.

It was great! Very professional and nice personal.

we used this activity as an engagement session- it was great Kind of pricey though and then to add on a tip wheew
