    Chaz was amazing! He gave us great local insight on restaurants, and his recommendations were spot on. The gondola ride was so relaxing and romantic--truly an unforgettable experience. When Chaz sang our wedding song, it brought me to tears. We'd absolutely do this again!

    What a fun thing to do while visiting Providence, Rhode Island. A colleague of mine, and I are here on a work trip, and carved out some time for a gondola ride along the river, and it did not disappoint. Our tour guide was very informative, friendly, and had an amazing range as he sang us a French song. Highly recommend to anybody who is looking for something fun to do while visiting Providence, Rhode Island.

    Great way to see the city! Our gondolier, Gustavo, was wonderful, singing songs in Italian and recounting the area's history. Enjoy a slow, peaceful sightseeing tour of downtown Providence.

    This is a must do attraction in Providence. My wife and I took a lazy ride on a beautiful day today and loved it. While the gondolier wasn't overly knowledgeable about the buildings and general area, that was a minor thing on an otherwise wonderful trip. And the wine biscuits they give you are quite tasty - so much so that we found the store they buy them from and bought more!

    La Gondola made my engagement an amazing success. They were super helpful, working closely with me to make the moment everything I imagined. I highly recommend. The kindness and singing from our gondolier Gennaro were highlights. Sam was also a fantastic photographer for our special day, working extra hard to take great "paparazzi" shots and then more formal shots afterwards. I'm so thrilled La Gondola was a part of our special day.

    Came to RI for our son's college orientation. Looked up fun things to do & this did NOT disappoint. Genaro was our Gondolier & can I just say he's Fabulous! He really knew the history of the city, having grown up here himself & was so informative of what the city had to offer. We are from Cali, but he made us feel right at home. We'll be back in August & plan to visit Genaro & his wonderful singing voice again. Thanks for the memorable evening

    Great experience- one of the most unique things we have done. Highly recommend La Gondola! Totally worth it, you cannot beat this experience.

    Visited Rhode Island over the weekend and had to experience the WaterFire. We booked with LaGondola and had the best time ever. We had the very last reservation of the night, which I'm happy about because it wasn't as crowded. The WaterFire is one of the main attractions so it draws in thousands of people, which can get pretty crowded. The entire staff was super friendly and helpful. Our gondoler was such a sweetheart. He also allowed Roberto to come along for the ride. Both were complete gentlemen and super fun. Roberto made sure our wine glasses stayed full which is always a plus for us. They also told us about the best places in Rhode Island to explore while we were in town. I cant thank them enough for making the gondola ride the highlight of our sisters road trip! Also, the man I spoke with via phone who guided me from the mall parking lot to the dock was extremely helpful and sweet. I can see why La Gondola has been in business for so long! Will definitely be coming back with my daughter and husband so they can experience this as well.

    This was so much fun! The singing was a wonderful surprise-Exceeded expectations!

    So we did this as a last minute audible when we needed a day away from the beach for my son to recover from sunburn due to poor sunscreen application. It was really fun. Great way to see the city from a different perspective. The gondolier was talkative and knowledgeable. I would definitely come back for the fire water trip he mentioned.

    Such a wonderful experience on the gondola in Providence, Rhode Island!

    Our gondola experience was simply perfect. Our wonderful gondolier, Allessandro, greeted and chatted with us which made us feel like family! As soon as the ride along the water began, and although we have had two previous Gondola rides via La Gondola, it was as if we were transported to another world. The gondola experience, be it on a non-waterfire evening or during a waterfire, always creates an ever-lasting memory. The non-waterfire ride was exciting and a learning experience since our gondolier provided a great deal of history of the bridges and buildings. The waterfire evening is always accompanied by beautiful recorded music and the stunningly lit braziers, so it is truly breathtaking. There is no doubt that we have never been disappointed!

    This is only for gondolier identification purposes. He was great!

    How many people fit in one gondola?

    I have seen up to six. Different gondolas hold a certain number. I suggest you call La Gondola and they will provide the specifics. They are very pleasant to deal with and are well-organized.
