Have you always fantasized about flying over the sea for a European escape? Does the idea of floating down the canals of Venice, Italy in a luxurious gondola sound utterly romantic? What if I told you the same experience can be had right here in the Bay State?
As odd as it may sound, Gondola di Venezia in Boston actually lets you book a voyage on a Venetian gondola, complete with a fully-outfitted, singing gondolier.
Relax in the comfort of your plush gondola, one of an entire fleet built in Italy and shipped to Boston. Sip a glass of champagne or wine while your gondolier gently propels you through the calm waters of the Charles River.
Gondola di Venezia runs on the weekends, and offers a few different tours and prices for their excursions.
The most luxurious tour includes a bouquet of a dozen roses, a live musician who will provide the perfect soundtrack to your voyage, sparkling cider, embossed wine or champagne glasses, an ice bucket, a basket of cheese and crackers, fresh strawberries, rich chocolates and a framed photograph of your tour.
The gondola will be decorated with flickering votive candles, and warm blankets provide a cozy refuge from the crisp breeze.
