Boston Gondolas

One of the city’s best-kept secrets-Boston Gondolas offers private tours on authentic Venetian gondolas right in the heart of Boston, only steps away from the Public Gardens at the foot of Beacon Hill. Sit back and relax while taking in the majestic skyline of the city on a fifty-minute tour. Enjoy the quaint canals and ponds of the Esplanade, Boston’s largest public park located right on the Charles River. Let your gondolier pamper you with hospitality and a complimentary basket of goodies. Bring your own wine or champagne, and Boston Gondolas provides glasses, ice, crackers, cheese, chocolates, and blankets. Drift along to the sounds of classical Italian music, or have one of the accordion players play on-board for an additional cost. Indulge in the history, mystery and romance of this unique and memorable experience.

Note: All tours are private, but you may choose to have up to four additional passengers. With your Go Boston Card discount, additional passengers are only $10 dollars each, a savings of $5 per guest. Children under 10 years of age are free of charge when accompanied by an adult.
