Fantabulous!

We are a local couple. I decided to suprise my boyfriend with a gondola tour one night after dinner. It totally exceeded my expectations. The accordian player was fabulous, and the love songs she sang were perfect. I loved the strawberries and chocolate, my boyfriend loved the cheese and crackers. we snuggled up under the provided blankets and kissed under each of the bridges for luck. I was worried he'd find it cheesy, but my boyfriend loved it so much he hasn't stopped talking about it yet. I highly rec'd it for locals and tourists alike.

Romantically intimate
Traditional - Our most affordable gondola tour!

Our tour started with a 10 minute introduction to the history of the Gondola, its craftmanship and how it changed over the years with the position of the rower from front to back. Cheese, crackers and chocolate treats were waiting on the boat, we brought our own wine. There was a pink rose laying across the seat and we were gracefully assisted on board. Italian music played quietly in the back ground while we were educated about the tradtion of the Good Luck Kiss when passing under the bridges. The weather was great, the other couple we passed on their Gondola were friendly and the ride was so smooth, you could hardly tell you were moving at all. We've recommended you to two other couples already and will definately be back ourselves. Until then, CIAO!

I took my wife on the Mezza Luna Gondola Tour for her birthday. She had no idea what I had planned. When we got to the site, she was speechless. She absolutely loved it. The accordian player played the most beautiful italian music. The Boston skyline was just amazing from that vantage point. We had a bottle of wine (provided by us), along with assorted cheese and crackers, and strawberries and chocolates. I would definetly recommend taking your significant other on one of the Gondola Tours as it truly makes for a romantic evening.

Nice Romantic Night

I surprised my girlfriend with the Bellismo package. It was a great surprise and we were well taken care of. I had asked for a blanket and brought a bottle of wine to be chilled ahead of time. The wine was chilled and the blanket was there waiting for us. We were treated like a King and Queen and we LOVED the live accordian music and the Italian singing...very nice touch!

One of my best romantic experiences

I strongly recommend this activity to couples of any age!!! My wife supports my recomendation. Before I took her for the gondola tour I doubted she would like it so I kept it as much a secret from her as I could. Only 10 minutes before the tour was it that she figured out my plan and I could tell from her face that she loved the idea. After the tour she told me that she would never forget that experience.

Unusual and wonderful

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.

A most unexpected wonderful experience!

Taking a gondola ride on the Charles River in Boston may seem corny to some but it couldn't have been more delightful. From the incredible attention to detail to the wonderful staff, this is a perfect activity for any couple at any stage in their relationship. We plan to make it an annual date!

Fabulous romatic way to celebrate anything!!

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. Larry and Carol

After booking the tour, I was contacted by an agent who detailed a special addition to our tour for a marriage proposal. Everything went off without a hitch. The staff was very helpful and enthusiastic about the engagement. Our hosts were so friendly and gracious. My fiance was blown away by the whole thing. I would recommend this tour to anyone, whether it be for a romantic date or engagement. Thanks very much for the wonderful memories!

My fiancee and I were out on a date and I had surprised him with the Mezza Luna Gondola ride. I brought a bottle on wine with me and they supplied the rest. It was a very romantic evening. As we went down the river we saw the city lit up. The service was excellent, the accordian player was a nice touch. The night was perfect. We would definetely do this again and we would recommend this to anyone!!
