I went with my parents the other night and we had a great time! It's a fun way to see Long Beach and we love looking at all of the houses. It was very relaxing and our Gondolier (Santiago) was very friendly. I can see how it would be a great romantic date. And they give you a free souvenir... More

The Boat/Gondola takes you in these little canals and the bridges are used as acoustic sound amplifiers..awesome! Located in a nice bay dividing the Ultra chic "Naples isles"/Canals from the rowdy and fun ,Belmont Shore.This area is "stones throw" to Orange County. One of the classiest things in Long Beach..almost like a different city. Glad we tried,worth the fee. More

This was one of the most fun events with so little effort! We took an evening ride Dec. 2011, and saw all the beautiful Christmas lights on the houses around the canals. The hour went quickly, but it was so much fun. They will let you bring food and wine or pretty much whatever you want. I can't recommend it... More

Having been born and raised in Belmont Shore, I had often looked at the Naples Island community with awe and wonder but had never actually been able to tour the inner canals as they are not accessible by car, only by boat. There were four of us and they provided us with a comfortable gondola for four complete with ice,... More

The main part of the tour was nice, but they cut our hour long trip to about 40 minutes since they weren't ready for us when we arrived. At one point the gondola "driver" sang a song that was cringe worthy and created an awkward moment. Can't say that I would recommend this experience. More

a friend got this as a holiday gift for group of 6 of us. by luck the weather turned out perfect on saturday jan 8 2011 for a fun boat ride and yummy lunch on the canals of naples. The pizza breadsticks and salad was delicious. we brought wine and beer. Our 2 gondoliers Jeff and Adam we friendly fun... More

Love, love, love this! My husband surprised me with this little bit of romance. We did bring our bottle of champagne and cuddled up together under the blankets that they provided. I've been to Venice and have done the gondola rides there and did the rides in Vegas, but this is special. We were the only ones out in the... More

The previous reviewers hit it on the head: You expect this to be campy or cheesy but it isn't at all. It is about as authentic a gondola ride as you can get (I have been on one in Venice, Italy). The gondoliers are dressed in the traditional striped shirts and neck scarves and hats, many are actually Italian and... More

This is a wonderful experience and I would absolutely do it again. Initially I felt silly going on this gondola ride because...well...it's really in the middle of Long Beach and I couldn't imagine it would be beautiful or romantic. But this experience was both. It was beautiful, a fun place that you don't usually see, the houses were lovely, people... More
