I recently had my wedding ceremony at Gondola getaway and it super excited my expectations. This place was wonderful! The views are amazing. The staff are great and super helpful! Shout out to Joy and Rachel for the awesome customer service. Their warm demeanor and communication skills made the experience seamless. All of our guests had a great time and even mentioned coming back in their own to enjoy a Gondola ride.

A magical evening that felt like a scene from a movie. Our family celebrated my twin daughters’ 30th birthday with Gondola Getaways and start to finish the evening was so special, beautiful and memorable. We sailed at sunset and also ordered the pizza party package for food. Everyone enjoyed that meal so much. 3 pizzas and salad doesn’t sound like enough for a dozen people, but it was plenty…..and it was delicious. I added a vegan pasta dish for my daughter and that was the highlight of the meal. Everyone DEVOURED the pasta too. The food exceeded my expectations and made for a more carefree enjoyable night since we didn’t have to bring food for everyone. Joy and Melia both patiently answered all my questions and helped the booking and this special celebration go so smoothly. Thank you both 🙏 Everyone in our family loved the sunset cruise and we’re all already looking for another reason to return. Thanks to everyone here for making their birthday so special and meaningful. Would 100% recommend to family and friends.

I booked this gondola cruise as a surprise birthday gift for my husband, and it turned out to be absolutely amazing! Our gondolier, Tom Woods, was fantastic—so friendly and engaging. As we glided through the beautiful canals of Naples, he shared fascinating stories and even serenaded us with two songs (including one in Italian!). I also added the “message in a bottle” with a personalized birthday note for my husband. He was was so surprised, it made the cruise even more memorable. I highly recommend this unique and unforgettable experience for any special occasion!

Our Gondolier, Conner, was awesome! He sang two different songs in Italian, one at the beginning, (going through 1st canal, 2nd by last canal.) The entire experience was amazing and well worth it! Was peaceful, romantic, and picturesque. Was a great way to celebrate our anniversary. We would definitely do this again!
