Wow!

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.

Very good, but a little pricey

timeliness and courteousness of staff were excellent. Complementary cheese, crackers, chocolates, and strawberries were delicious but portions were "skimpy." Accordian player was nice touch.

The basic gondola ride was so great, and it's the perfect ride for a group of friends or especially for a romantic date.

Wonderful Change of Pace

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.

Pleasant and unexpectedly good time.

I overheard a previous customer talk about the Gondola ride. I have been in Boston all my life and never heard of it. I checked it out online and decided to book it for me and my wife and another couple. the ride was smooth, the gondolier Marco was informative and easy to talk to. The cheese and crackers along with the strawberries and chocolate provided by the gondolier was a perfect companion to the wine we brought on board. the wives enjoyed the trip and as a result the husbands did too. will do this activity again.

Romantic and Fun but a little expensive!
Sun, Sep 30, 07   5:30 PM bungipug Male 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
The Gondola ride was a memorable experience, but I still feel the price was a little steep. My reservation was from 5:30 to 6:20; it ended 10 minutes before sunset. I highly reccommend going during sunset or later. There is still too much activity around the Esplanade during the light hours and it makes for a lot of staring and pointing at the gondola. Night time is always more romantic anywyas! Make sure to bring a great wine for the evening, and also a warm sweater if the weather is brisk; it is alwasy 10-15 degrees colder on the water. Overall a great experience, but I would only do it once.

Recipe for Romance

The smooth gondola ride, lovely music, roses, chocolates, Italian treats and Boston skyline all are a recipe for romance. My wife felt like a queen as the gondoliere helped her into her seat. We spent the next hour drifting along the Charles River to celebrate our wedding anniversary.......the rest of the world sped along at its frenzied pace. What an wonderful, and easy, way to celebrate a special occasion!

Expected More

The tour was nice, but for the price i expected a little more, we only went down the charles river a little way and came back, it was also kind of cold so that didn't help, my two year old daughter had a good time but she had a lot more fun at the marketplaces at Faniuel Hall, and those were free. We are from Michigan and it was our first trip to Boston, i don't recommend it on your first trip, it is more fun to just walk around the old parts of the city, which is also free. The accordion player and the gondolier were extremely nice though

Romantically fulfilling
Traditional - Our most affordable gondola tour!
Wed, Sep 27, 06   5:00 PM BrooksWright Male 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
I had seen the Gondolas while on the esplanade. Then I heard about the Gondola operator through as reputable electrician I work with. I enjoyed the historical talk that the owner gave regarding the Gondolas. Still, I was blown away by the event of riding in it. The slow, steady pace and views of the city they afforded, and intimacy of the Gondola were a perfect combination to create a truly romantic and beautiful atmosphere. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic experience. The word "romantic" is truly fitting for this ride.
