gondolaNever been to Italy? No problem. Running out of some romantic ideas to take your date? Again...no problem. Or possibly you like to drift around in boats and not do all the work, and yell randomness at people on shore. Ummm...no problem.

You don't have to spend thousands to get a Gondola ride. Boston has their own!

Experience the history, mystery and romance on a private tour that is Boston’s best kept secret. Indulge in the Boston and Cambridge skyline as your gondolier gently rows his craft, while being serenaded by one of our musicians.

Where: The Esplanade at the Hatch Shell
When: Fridays through Sundays 2pm-11pm (closed Monday through Thursday, but negotiations can be made).
Price: $99 - $129 (Honestly a good deal. Mine in Italy was around 70 Euro, and the guy wouldn't even sing to us.)
