He was a very good driver he could guide that gondola around corners like crazy! He politely answered all my two granddaughters' thousand questions without a skip. Our ride was amazing especially...

The cruise was on a beautiful evening; there were meteorites very close to us. That was an unexpected surprise. Unfortunately, the ride was not what I expected. The gondolier did not offer to play any music. That was not a big deal to us, but at two points in time we seemed to coast to a stop and waited for... More

Being from San Diego, I recommend this unique way to see a part of San Diego. I've enjoyed it myself so I also shared the venture my dad and his girlfriend and also my brother in law on a separate trip. Both parties loved the tranquil cruise and couldn't believe how "cool" it was. My brother in law is from... More

A beautiful Sunday afternoon on September 25th 2011 partaking in a 50-minute pleasure cruise in a gondola with our fantastic gondalier, Colombo. We brought our own wine, which was a red to be enjoyed with our choice of appetizer. The company supplied not just the appetizer, but wine glasses, wine opener, and a blanket if needed, along with Italian music... More

Nice scenery and for a good price!! I was skeptical if my husband would like this for our anniversary, he is one of those unromantic guy if there is such a word, but then it turned out great, we had fun, and we enjoyed each others company looling at the beautiful scenery! More
