Gondola di Venezia

After spending a full day in Boston Harbor, hiking on Spectacle Island, walking through the North End, eating pizza from the Upper Crust on Charles St. in the Public Gardens, we walked over the Arthur Fiedler Footbridge to the Charles. We were more than ready for the tranquil gondola ride on the river. With footrests and a basket of goodies at our feet we sat back on the comfortable throne like seats. The gondelier and the accordian player were friendly but once on the boat kept to themselves and let us relax. A splendid way to end a splendid day!

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!

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.

Overall great time. But the crackerss, cheese, strawberries, and chocolates were not the best quality.

A real Winner! This set the mood for a romantic evening in Boston! I highly recommend this for any couple! Bring a bottle of Bubbly!

very enjoyable ride and very courteous staff

My date and I was promptly greeted and introduced , escorted on the boat and explained the history of the boat and our guide and his training for the trip on the charles. I was very happy that they still accomodated us for the evening because the weather was trying as it continued to rain, and they did say that an e-mail was sent to us because of the weather, but it could not have been a more beautiful night on the charles, we had a basket of cheese and crackers and lovely chocolate, candle and lanterns lit , need I say more..... I would greatly suggest this activity and have to all my friends...Thank You very much to the team of II Bacio Gondola tours. Best Betty McMahon John Mahoney

The gondola staff was first-class. The scenery was beautiful and the atmosphere was amazing. I used this event to propose to my girlfriend (best decision I ever made). The staff was very helpful and discreet so I could maintain the surprise. We did have to reschedule, but the staff was very accommodating with this as well. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic day or evening.

The sunset trip was very romantic,the music and the singing is a must. The uniform, the gondola, the water, the sunset,the musicand the singing made our trip to Boston extra special. Thank you for paying attention to detail..

Everyone was professional. My wife was very surprised and it was a great time. We got to sit back and relax while enjoying the view. It was for our second wedding anniversary and I didn't realize that Boston even had this option available. Overall we had a great time and would recommend it to anyone looking to have a fun evening out. It's quick and well priced.

This was a wonderful experience. Gondolier was great, accordian player was lovely. Would probably do it again, But I do think it was way over priced. I would do the less expensive deal for sure.

i thought this was amazing. i set the time to be around sunset. though the boat we were waiting for was late, it made the sunset even more perfect. as we turned to the left after traveling away from the dock, the sunset was amazing. the italian music on the cd skipped a lot so the gondolier shut it off. the silence was better. the water was calm so the reflections in the water were amazing. the city looked great. as we turned down the canal and the sunset was behind us, the canal was dark. it was a great mood setter because the bridges are recommended to be kissed under. all in all it was amazing. perfect weather. i cannot wait to do it again next year.

I loved the tour. It was the perfect engagement. The people were very knowledgeable and the woman had an amazing voice. It really felt like we were in Italy and of course my fiance said yes.

I chose this as a unique birthday gift for a friend. It was absolutely fantastic!! We went in the evening, the lights from Boston, the stars in the sky, the gondelier and the accordian player set the ambience for a truly romantic and outstanding experience!! Thank you!!!
