Gondola di Venezia

This was the highlight of a group of friends (6 women) taking a get away trip to Boston. The earlier times were booked, so we reserved 8:00 pm. We were concerned it would be a little late, but it was perfect. It was dusk and the lights of the city were just coming on, which made for a beautiful backdrop. The gondolier, Stephano, and the accordian player, Melaina, were authentic and superb. It would be a wonderful ride for couples, friends or families.

The gondola river cruise was gifted to us by my friend - I went in with moderate expectation but came back pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. We started right on time and the gondolier and the singer on board (Carlo and Bella - you guys rock!) were so friendly right from the begining. The whole setup is soo romantic and unreal - strawberries, cheese, wine, live music and the sunset - I couldnt help but feel like we were in Venice:). I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy some quiet time to themselves. The 7:30 pm tour is apt cause you can see the city all lit up! Overall - we had an awesome time.

My wife and I celebrated our 9th Anniversary on the Mezza Luna tour. We had a wonderful time. The gondlier, Stefano, was accomodating and unobtrusive. Our accordion player, Elena, was terrific. We only wish she sang more, as her voice was beautiful. I would recommend this experience to anyone - it was very relaxing. being able to bring your own wine is a big plus - I wonly wish they let us keep the glasses. We will be back for another gondola ride. Ron

Friendly gondola person, made us feel very comfortable. Italian music great, could be a tiny bit louder

I personally would without a doubt in my mind recommend the gondola tour to everyone. The gondolier was very friendly and she definitely made the tour a very enjoyable one. Unfortunately we did arrive late so our experience was cut a little short, but next time we're in Boston we will be going back. Thank you very much for everything.

well staffed and a pleasant way to spend a summer afternoon

We had a wonderful late summer evening to enjoy our gondola ride. The staff was courteous and friendly. No problems finding the place. The the ride went smoothly. The accordian player also sang and had a wondeful voice. I just wish the ride was longer!!!! It is a little pricey but this is something you dont do everyday. It was a birthday present for my boyfirend... much better than cufflinks!

My only complaint that it was a bit too short! other than that it was great

I surprised my husband with a gondola ride for our 32nd wedding anniversary. He loved it and so did I. Our gondolier was elegant and graceful and the ride was so peaceful and relaxing -- first in the Charles River canal and then out on the river with spectacular views of the bridges and the city. We live in a neighborhood of Boston -- Jamaica Plain -- and love the city . Now we have seen it from a wholly new vantage point. We brought a bottle of champagne and the gondolier supplied ice bucket, the glasses and a lovely basket of cheese and crackers. We opted for the basic tour without the accordian player but with very nice recorded music instead. We thought it was perfect and would definitely do it again -- maybe with friends this autumn on the harvest moon trip.

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.

Would recommend to anyone!

I had a great time. The accordion was awesome. FYI: if you do an afternoon ride, make sure you bring sunglasses because the sun will be directly in your face for half the ride.

That was the most wonderful day I have ever experienced. My boyfriend told me that he had a suprise for that Saturday, but he gave no clue about what would it be like. The day started with a beautiful red roses, then he took me to the riverside, with the beautiful view of Charles River we started to wait for something. I started to get very curious for what could happen, he told me that we were upto something, but what?????????? Then the Gondola di Venezia staff greeted us and they told us our gondola was ready. I got very excited at that moment because I realized that we were upto something very very special. After we took our seats they brought me beautiful pink roses, a picnic basket, and a bottle of wine. We opened the picnic basket which had a candel, two glasses, and some snacks like strawberries, chocolates, crakers and cheese... Moreover there was a musician who played romantic love rthyms with accordion all trip long. Then we started our tour on Charsles River when sun slowly started to down. We kissed while crossing under every bridge, because they told us it brings luck. Finally my love suddenly took out a little white box, a ring box. He looked into my eyes and asked me to marry him, I said YESSSS... I love him so much and I would like to thank to the staff working there and to the person who brings that special oppurtunity to Boston. Thank you all, that was the most special, wonderful day I have ever lived. Thank you... :)

This was great fun, perfect for the ultimate date. Weather must be nice

This was probably the most romantic thing my husband and I have done in nine years of marriage. The gondolere and the accordianist were great. Her voice was beautiful and we made some encore requests. Seemed like no one else was around. Beautiful roses and snacks to enjoy. Overall amazing
