| Thinking of celebrating your first wedding anniversary? We were - and did. Took the gondola on a brilliantly sunny, lazy day, on the Charles River, and under the canal-like bridges, next to Back Bay. An accordionist behind us, singing romantic songs, the steady squeaking of the gondolier's pole propelling us forward... Can't think of a better-spent hour! | ||||||

| This was a surprise anniversary gift for my marriage partner, lover and best friend. The total experience from the moment we arrived until the end of the ride was first class. Joseph, the owner, is a charmer and wonderful storyteller which impressed Carol because she is a - amongst other skills - a professional storyteller. I had booked a full moon, late night ride. However, that night it began to rain intermittenly and was windy. Joseph wasn't comfortable doing the ride and said we can rebook. However, he said, "sit in the gondola, enjoy the wine and cheese so that not all is lost. " That 20 minutes just sitting there in the magnificent boat - "Maria" -was memorable and romantic. We rebooked for August 3st. I've picnicked, walked, biked, boated, photographed and enjoyed concerts, movies and fireworks on the Charles River for 50 years. Yet the gondola ride with Carol was my most memorable experience of all. Another 10PM ride with the accordian player and Gondalier behind us we glided like a whisper up and down the river. The gondalier smoothly navigated so that we could see Cambridge and Boston from numerous angles. Light clouds drifted overhead, the city lights like jewels glistening in the night and reflecting in the river. Soft accordian coming music from behind us - we were in our own world. Tradition is that couples kiss as they pass under a bridge. There are 7 bridges on the ride. We didn't need the bridges. Joseph's energy and love for the gondola is so evident as he explained the history of his business now in its 6th year, the history of the gondola and that he owns two of the six genuine Venetian Gondolas in the Americas. His Maria is a magnificent work of elegant craftmanship and artistry. Everyone needs a gondola tour on the Charles, especially at night with a full moon. Another of Boston's hidden worlds.

| We are from the Boston area and loved our gondola ride on The Charles. We had seen the boats for several years and decided we'd like to take a ride. It was peaceful and interesting, and our boat person was good enough to be quiet and allow us to enjoy the experience. They were on time, polite, helpful and the ride was a delight from beginning to end. | ||||||

| Hats off to the crew Stephano. I also cannot say enough about the accordian player. He really knew how to play (very technically proficient) and set a very romantic, relaxing mood. | ||||||

| I was looking for a special present to give my lovely wife in celebration of our 27th anniversary, and couldn't think of anything I hadn't already done for her or bought her. I knew the perfect gift was just simply spending time together but was stumped on what kind of "date" would be something new for us. That's when I heard about the gondola tours on the Charles River. I wanted my wife to have the most enjoyable experience so I purchased the Bellissimo package. It was everything I had hoped for, and my enjoyment that evening was more about her happiness at being treated to something so romantic. The live music and apetizers on board added a nice touch. And the roses are gorgeous. Every once in a while I get it right. Thanks Gondola di Venezia, and Zerve! Yours truly, Erik Bates | ||||||

| I booked this for an Anniversary present for my husband and I'm so glad I did. We had a great time. It was something with a little bit different. I booked the 6PM tour and this time of year (September) it was great, because the sun was just starting to set. We brought our own wine and with the cheese and crackers, strawberries and chocolate that was provided it was perfect. I also went the extra step and got the accordian player also. I'd recommend it to anyone for a little "special" treat or gift. I'm telling everyone about it. You need to do more publicity - Get your name out there!! Great job guys!! | ||||||

| The staff, gondolier and accordian player were extremely courteous and a pleasure to be with. The champange, fresh fruit, crackers and cheese added the right touch to our day. It was a beautiful and calming tour along the Charles River. The weather and the whole atmosphere definetly made it a relaxing adventure. This is a great gift for family or friends and I highly recommended it. | ||||||

| The Mezza Luna was a great ride. We chose a 5:30 trip in August. Weather was perfect for it. Beautiful views of Boston. The gondolier and accordian player were delightful and unobtrusive. We brought wine, they supplied the ice bucket and opener. The basket of goodies was exactly as advertized. Cheese & crackers, chocolates, and strawberries. Plenty for the four in our party. The gondola was clean and dry; we could have easily dressed for an elegant evening in town without worries. We're sure to do it again sometime, perhaps after dark so we can see the lights of the city. But I'd do another daytime trip in a heartbeat as well. We were so surprised to find this has been in business for nine years. How did we miss it all this time? Luckily for us, we received the trip as a gift certificate. Otherwise, who knows how long it would take us to find this hidden gem. Booking's a breeze through the well-designed web-site. Highly recommended as a gift for yourself or for someone else. Remember to bring cash for a tip and enjoy! | ||||||

Thirty-fifth wedding treat!

| 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! | ||||||

A Most Spectacular Evening

| 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! | ||||||
