For locals or tourists - a fantastic experience

We had a perfect evening. We brought a picnic dinner to the Esplanade an then went on this splendid, relaxing , peaceful ride. The accordian player was unobtrusive and the music low key. An excellent way to spend an evening.

great experience, very romantic

It may have been that our gondolier knew we were local so he didn't point out points of interest. People visiting the Boston area would probably be interested in local landmarks - or depending on the mood of his riders, he could remain quiet.

Peaceful, lovely way to spend time in Boston

I surprised my husband with a gondola ride for our 32nd wedding anniversary. He loved it and so did I. Our gondolier was elegant and graceful and the ride was so peaceful and relaxing -- first in the Charles River canal and then out on the river with spectacular views of the bridges and the city. We live in a neighborhood of Boston -- Jamaica Plain -- and love the city . Now we have seen it from a wholly new vantage point. We brought a bottle of champagne and the gondolier supplied ice bucket, the glasses and a lovely basket of cheese and crackers. We opted for the basic tour without the accordian player but with very nice recorded music instead. We thought it was perfect and would definitely do it again -- maybe with friends this autumn on the harvest moon trip.

An excellent and romantic time

Our Gondoleer, Stephano, was a master at steering his craft, we when out on the Charles River with sailboats darting back and forth at sunset, it was quite moving. And Stephano even stopped at points and rotated the boat so we could take in the whole skyline of Boston. It was a great way to spend our 5th anniversary.

My husband and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary and was looking forward to our first sunset condola ride. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a cloudy evening and we never saw the sun set. I loved the setting of the small canal, unfortunately there was debris in the water off to the side and the canal is right off the street which makes it a little difficult to be romantic. We began to enjoy the woman who sang and played the accordian but unfortunately it began to rain and she had to put away her instrument and we had to listen to a tape. I would still give it a shot though.

Best date ever, I was so surprised!

The accordian player was amazing and the rower was very friendly and accomodating. It was a romantic and authentic experience that made a night out to Boston, one that will not be forgotten.

Ride was cancelled -rain and windy conditions

We did not get to take our ride the evening of our reservation because of thunderstorms and windy conditions on the Charles. Your operations manager called to cancel. We plan to re-schedule our tour after Labor Day and we look forward to it.

I planned our tour as a surprise and boy was it. My family had no idea that these Condolas existed in Boston.My wife said this was one of the most romantic things someone can do in the city. I was surprised at how many people took our pictures as we cruised down the river. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Our trip was postponed due to rain. It was WELL worth the wait. We had Bella the accordian player who was awesome! I highly recommend this trip. It was a great belated 6 month anniversary present!

disappointed with gondola ride
Sat, Aug 12, 06   8:30 PM deslaurier Female 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
We had some glitches in scheduling, as the gondola people and Zerve had doublebooked for the same time slot. However, that was straightened out and Joseph (gondola person) was very apologetic and good at communicating in phone calls, to straighten out the problem. The idea in general of a gondola ride is a great one; the location is the downfall, which the gondola company cannot really control. We were promised a very romantic ride. However, as far out as we went, we could still hear the big concert going on at the Hatch Shell, from where the gondolas depart and return, and 90% of the ride (it was on a Saturday night) we saw men relieving themselves on shore and police walking the shores and breaking up little clusters of people from which came the distinct smell of marijuana. A few times, people on shore called out to us, asking for a ride, so it did not end up being the romantic surprise I'd envisioned for my date. Also, we were booked for 50 minutes and Joseph had indicated that we'd receive a little longer ride, given the glitches in the beginning; however, from the time we left the dock to the time we returned, it was a total of 45 minutes, so we were actually shorted five minutes. All in all, it was a different experience and my date enjoyed the surprise - but, given the location and the activity of the locals, over which the gondola company has no control, do not expect it to be romantic, even with the accordian player/singer, champagne (I brought) and basket of goodies.

Extremely wonderful and romantic!
Sat, Jul 11  6:30 PM derrickmeade Male 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
This was a very wonderful experience and I highly recommend it!!! I took my (now) fiancée on this for our engagement proposal, it was truly romantic and very unique (and of course she said yes!). The special service they offer when it comes to proposals is a great idea any I recommend any considering proposals with this event to look into it. The live music was amazing and really set a pleasant atmosphere, the whole thing exceeded my expectations which were already set high. The staff was very professional and friendly, we can't wait to go again soon and relive this!
