Venice in Boston
Sun, Sep 2, 07   5:00 PM wait4me Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
With champagne chilling on ice, cheese & crackers and a rose for the ladies, we embarked on our ride. With soft music in the background, Marco explained the origin of the boat and how few boats and gondoliers there were outside of Venice. We enjoyed a wonderfully peaceful view of Boston from a different vantage point. Having grown up in the area, it was surprising to find such a wonderful activity in Boston. I highly recommend the tour for anyone wanting a quiet, unusual view of Boston.

As good as (or maybe better) than Venice!
Sun, May 27, 07   9:00 PM vlavender Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I did not review my Bacio Excusion back in May because all the reviews were so positive already. I didin't feel like I had anything to add. This summer I went to Venice, Italy and was astounded how #1 expensive the gondola ride was (no ice bucket for our wine, no cheese, chocolate, and crackers, no romantic music playing in the background!!) #2 crowded the tight alleys were (we were a little too close to the bugs crawling up the sides of the walls) #3 dirty the back "alley" canals were #4 insane the slimey gondoliers were (ours NEVER shut up and made fun me kissing my husband!) Having said this, no one can deny that Venice is unique. If you can't make it to Italy, know that you are receiving a highly romantic and top quality trip with the gondoliers in Boston. The boats are kept in PRISTINE condition, our gondolier Steve/Stephan had just the right balance of information for the tour of Boston and knew when to back off so that we could enjoy our romantic sunset moments together. This is a great way to see Boston at sunset. The park is perfect, too! Bravo, Boston!

Perfect romantic evening on the Charles River
Fri, Jul 7, 06   9:00 PM vkachoria Male 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
Unique, relaxing, romantic ride in a Gondola on the Charles River. A surprise first anniversary present for my wife, who just loved it. We brought a bottle of champagne and listened to the music and singing preformed by the accordian. Joseph, the gondoler (?) was charming. Definitely recommend the gondola tour.

Almost perfect
Sat, Jul 19, 08   7:30 PM Vanessa5713 Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
Due to the weather, we were forced to stay in the canal. It would have been great to get a discount voucher for another ride. 50 minutes seemed a bit short...largly because the experience was so enjoyable. Otherwise, inpeccable service and great experience!

Very Romantic and peaceful.
Sun, Sep 17, 06   5:00 PM valmkeaney Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
I suprised my boyfriend of one year on a romantic date and he very much enjoyed it. He is not the type to organise suprises so he was very suprised when we got there and he realised what we were doing, he never heard of them in boston. We live in Quincy so it was nice just to go so close to something that felt so far away from Boston, for a one hour ride. It was so peaceful and just so romantic. I highly recommend it to couples or it would even be a beautiful gift for someone.

A romantic, quite ride with very professional staff. It was like being in Venice without the dirty water. The music was authentic and enjoyable. Highly recommended for couples.

best birthday surprise
Fri, May 25, 07   4:00 PM ttortega Female 50-59 Local Family With Children
I arranged a gondola ride for my mothers 74 birthday. I was concerned about her walking the short distance over the footbridge to the site and talked with the coordinator Megan about it. She was wonderful and understanding and made arrangements for us to drop her off right at the half shell. The day of the surprise Megan called to tell us that there was an event that prohibited our plan to drop off and she arranged to meet us at our parking area and would drive my mom over to the site. Everything went smoothly, Megan met us with her gondola outfit on waving at the corner! My mom was so surprised. It was a beautiful day and the gondola was so enchanting. My two daughters and I gave her birthday kisses under every bridge for good luck. She told us that it was the best surprise anyone had ever given her and she loved every minute of it! Thank you for a great memory, Megan!

anniversary
Sat, Nov 1, 08   5:00 PM trimarchi Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
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.

Very GLBT friendly staff, awesome experience
Sat, Aug 19, 06   2:00 PM triangular Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
My partner and I went on the tour on the day of our wedding to get away from our families and friends for a bit before the ceremony. The accordionist was amazing (my partner and I are also musicians, so we were definitely listening closely to her) and the tour was just fantastic. I told them when I reserved it that it was our wedding day, and the staff greeted us with roses and congratulations. They were very enthusiastic and welcoming toward us. The ride is very private; we almost forgot there were other people on the boat. During mid-day there were other people watching and photographing the boat from on-shore, but no one was obnoxious or anything. Highly recommended.

Fun & romantic
Sat, Jul 1, 06   9:30 PM tominator64 Male 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
We had a very romantic anniversary because of the great time we had on our gondola ride on the Charles River. Unfortunately, because of the 4'th of July holiday preparations on the Esplanade we were unable to enjoy the full river experience, but the Gondolier explained this before we embarked on our trip and we had no problem with that actually. We would highly recomend this for any couple looking for something fun to do together.

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!!!

Her Smile Was Worth Every Penny
Sat, Oct 14, 06   6:00 PM TjSmith32 Male 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
I wanted to do something special for my girlfriend on our anniversary and this was absolutely perfect. I expected a lot from the tour because I'm a poor college student who was not used to paying this much for a date, but they delivered on what they said and more. Every employee bent over backwards to give us the best possible date and I can't thank them enough for making me look romantic without really trying. Absolutely reccommend!!
