100% recommend ! Our experience was unforgettable, Matt was so funny and helpful during our ride. They have a small store with snacks and water for sale. We checked in a few mins earlier and they put our wine in ice buckets. The ride comes with one picture ($2 for each extra pic), ice bucket and cups.
Parking was easy and free.
Other: I saw other parties who paid extra to get red roses for the occasion.
We got to ride in an authentic gondola from Venice, Italy and enjoyed our ride through Naples canals. The diverse architecture surrounding the area, beautiful homes and interesting landscapes made for a gorgeous setting!! We highly recommend this unique tour. Our guide, shared his passions for the area, proposal stories and even serenaded us with a song while under a canal!
It was so fun. We’d love to return once the holiday lights are up and perhaps during sunset hours next time.
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.
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
