Incredibly peaceful, beautiful, and lovely experience! Growing up in California, we last visited Napa a decade ago so I wanted to do something special for our trip this time. Our friends had an amazing time with Napa Valley Gondolas last year, so we grabbed some lattes at Le Paris and headed over in the morning. Sean, the owner, greeted us and our small dog warmly at the dock. Our gondolier was Angelino (who just happens to be from Italy!) and we were absolutely spoiled by his amazing voice. Angelino sang not one or two... but seven! beautiful songs under the bridges and his voice echoed with the wind. The river is just beautiful at this time of year, the water was calm, and along the ride you can hear the birds chirping with the wind. Our service dog kept looking back at Angelino when he sang and loved watching the wildlife. The gondola is authentic, beautifully made from wood with intricate designs, and was brought by Sean from Italy. My mother, who visited Venice a decade ago, highlighted that this experience far exceeded the gondola ride she had in Italy. Seeing Napa Valley from a different perspective is very memorable. Many people book the evening rides so you can see the sunset/lights along the Napa River and you can bring food and drinks on the boat. Sean checked in with us as we departed and we were touched by how accommodating everyone was. Definitely book Napa Valley Gondola early as the rides are popular. We would 100% do this again in Napa! This is definitely worth trying out at least once in your lifetime.

Had a fun solo trip down the Napa Valley River and back thanks to Xavier! It was fun going on an Italian Gondola, Xavier sang to the great accustics under the bridges, it was a fun event without the wine!

Nick was excellent as a gondolier. It was a very romantic evening, much better than my experience in Venice.

We were running late for our scheduled tour and they were very accommodating waiting for us. The ride was beautiful and very relaxing. Our gondolier was Haven and he did a great job. Answered all our questions and even sang us a song. Would highly recommend.

Husband and myself were celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary. We were looking to do something fun and different and came across this Gondola cruise. Not only did they accommodate for an earlier time slot , our gondolier Nick was super cool with an amazing singing voice .
