Romantic gondola ride

We came to Gondola Getaway for my sister’s surprise birthday party! 🥳This was a extremely hot summer day! I purchased our tickets and food online. The food is prosciutto and cheese. We decided to bring wine 🍷 and crackers. This is an romantic and unique date experience . Looking for something different for an anniversary? This is something to consider. How about an retirement party? Why not…. Or just because life is to short! Rachel greeted me when I walked up and explained our tour which is a hour long tour. She also told me about the blanks for our usage aboard the gondola if we got cold. Not in this heatwave. 😊 She asked if we needed to put anything on ice while we wait on our Gondolier to return. She had a relaxing vibe that affectionately welcoming. She is the best person for this job. Our Gondolier was Jos and he was amazing. Jos had our finger food and drink with cups in hand. We were a group of six. He is very knowledgeable about the area. He has an amazing voice as he sang happy birthday to my sister under the bridge. Josh shared with us some of history of Naples Canal. As he rowed through the canals. He chatted with us as if we were good friends. We had our Italian music playing and some of the homeowner greeted us as he rowed through the canal. 🥰 This was such amazing relaxing vibe. This is a highly recommended company for your gondola experience. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to the amazing team here! Parking is scarce. So I recommend you get arrival two hours before your launching time.

We had 1 evening in Long Beach and I thought this would we a wonderful way to spend it. I was right! Booking was easy over the phone. We arrived and checked in ...a few minutes later our gondola was ready to go. Our gondolier was fantastic. He walked us down the dock, took our picture, gave us a blanket and we were off! He told us that we were the last ride of the evening and that it was the best time because we would probably be the only ones in the canals... it was so peaceful and romantic. He shared stories and points of interest. Italian music soflty playing the entire time. Highly recommend

A great experience worth doing again for any special occasion, or for a nice scenic ride on the water. Reasonably priced. You may bring food and/or drinks for an 50 minute ride. Parking is scarce, so park in the parking lots (parking fee) a couple of blocks away and walk to the location. If you arrive late, they will deduct the time from your ride.

I booked a ride with Gondola Getaway as a surprise for my wife's birthday and it was a fantastic experience. I booked the time slot of 6 to 7 and it was a perfect day with only a slight breeze and clear skies. Going through the canals of Naples was so calm and peaceful, and during golden hour right before sunset was amazing. Our gondolier, Josh, was great and super friendly. He talked just enough to give us little tidbits and trivia about various parts of the Naples islands but didn't talk so much that it took away from the romantic and serene quality of the ride. The ability to bring your own drinks and have an ice bucket and cups provided was great. My wife and I shared a bottle of champagne as we snuggled up under the provided blanket that was super soft and warm. I did spring for the extra 'Appetizer' add-on but was disappointed that the "Cheese, meats, and salad" turned out to be a pretty boring antipasto salad rather than a charcuterie of some kind, and there were no "Italian breadsticks" offered like advertised. However, the experience was so great that even that letdown did not detract and I will not be lowering my score because of it. My wife and I can't wait to go back and do another ride, and we are even thinking of getting some friends together to do the Pizza and Pasta Cruise that is offered. If you are looking for a romantic activity to do with a special someone, I highly recommend Gondola Getaway as it is one of the more unique and enjoyable experiences in the area.

My magic place! Thanks for being part of that special moment! It's a romantic trip!
