A Fabulous way to relax and enjoy the city view
Wed, Jun 24  5:00 PM jdelatorre26 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this experience. Our Gondolier was wonderful. She told us information regarding the Gondola and the making of it. We really appreciated the history. She was very professional. We will be sure to take another Gondola ride when we are back in Boston. Thanks again for a wonderful time!

The most romantic date I have been on ...ever!!!!
Wed, Jun 24  9:00 PM JohnMahoney Male 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
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

I chose to book a Bellissimo tour when I proposed to my girlfriend. This was the best thing for that very purpose. The staff is unbelievably courteous, thoughtful, professional and really make the experience simply unforgettable. They had chocolate, cheese and bread. I had picked out a bottle of Cote du Rhone which they had glasses for. We had some great photos taken by their staff. We will never forget that night filled with a beautiful sunset, the calm Charles River water and the accordion while were were serenaded.

Venice in Boston--Who Knew?
Thu, Jul 9  9:00 PM mincone Female 60-69 Local Other
Cannot believe that we had never heard of this tour. It was wonderful! My husband and I had been to Venice several years ago and I decided that this tour would make a wonderful surprise birthday gift for him. We went out at 9:00 p.m. and there was only one other boat on the water. Everything from the gondolier, the accordian player, the complimentary picnic basket, etc. was PERFECT! It felt just like we were in Venice! I highly recommend this tour--one of Boston's best kept secrets!!!!!!!

A Most Spectacular Evening
Fri, Jul 10  7:00 PM wyndyk Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
The whole event was wonderful, start to finish. We were 2 couples celebrating a birthday for one of us. The weather cooperated fantastically, and they had prepared a picnic basket full of cheese/crackers, strawberries and chocolates! The wine we brought was uncorked and put in an ice bucket, and off we went . . . and the singer/accordian player was great. The gondolier and singer both were 'invisible' and never spoke unless spoken to (which wasn't necessary, but we realize that's probably part of it - they aren't the event, the trip itself is). I've already recommended this to anyone wanting an unusual celebration, or just a peaceful cruise around the Charles River. We were never more than 50 feet from shore, more often we were closer. I will definately make reservations again. Many thanks for a wonderful evening cruise!

great experience, very romantic
Fri, Jul 10  9:00 PM dsnowzerve Female 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
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.

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!

Thirty-fifth wedding treat!
Sun, Jul 12  8:00 PM JoanMahon Female 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
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!

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.

Romantic Outing
Wed, Jul 22  7:00 PM AllanSchramm Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Other
This was our 26th wedding anniversary. I am 72; my wife is 64. This is 2nd marriage for both of us. The Gondola outing was magnificent. The "trip" along the canal between the Charles and the Esplanade was excellent for the first "leg" of the outing. We crossed under bridges (tradition is: a kiss) and mingled with frollicking kayakers and the like. Then, 2nd half is out in the open of the Charles. Nice contrast. We experienced having our pictures taken by several folks on the bridges that we went under and from the shore. The accordian music was sublime. The gondolier and the accordianist were professional. They seemed to enjoy what they were doing. We had magnificent weather and this was a bonus. We did the 7 pm trip and that was nice. A moonlit trip or one at dusk would be great too, I'm sure. All in all, it was well worth the money.

A wonderful "stress free" evening!
Fri, Jul 24  9:00 PM jeepfamily Male 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
I surprised my wife with a Bellissimo 9pm cruise for our 15th Anniversary. We had a wonderful time and absolutely -zero- stress. I recommend the live music option - once the Gondola moves down the canal and out on the water, the accordian music covers the sounds of the city, yet still allowing you to have intimate conversation. There was even a movie playing at the Hatch Shell, but we did not even hear it once the music and cruise began. A truly wonderful evening we will remember always. We are already talking about sending my parents on their own Bellissimo cruise! Cruise Date: 07/24/09 9pm
