Magical Gondola Getaway: A Journey of Romance and Serenity in Long Beach, CA!
This was such a good time. A perfect night for a gondola ride under the full moon. It was a bit chilly but they had blankets available for us to use. Our gondolier was so fun. He kept us entertained as well as gave us some fun facts about the island. The experience is great for date night, proposals, friend dates and family adventure. Its a must do when in the Long Beach area.

We had a great time on our gondola dinner cruise, led by Jake and Josh. We were able to see amazing sights and architecture, and loved how informative and fun our guides were! The food was great too- the chicken Alfredo pizza was a hit!

5 STARS! Took a Gondola ride for our 42nd wedding anniversary. It was a wonderful experience. Our Gondolier, Waylon was so kind and knowledgeable. He took us around the canal's and explained a bit of history here and there and pointed out interesting things like the house with the fake shark head sticking out. He played a little romantic music and make the date really special for me and my husband. Thank you, Gondola Getaway and Waylon. And it was free parking! Ice cream shop a short drive away. Yum!

Fantastic Gondola Experience, great Host (Josh)?, great staff, easy access and also free parking. Overall great experience. The trip was perfect, the add-on's well worth it such as message in a bottle and snack trays. The route is great and just the right amount of time. Looking forward to the night cruise. We took a noon cruise. Very clean and professional, comfortable and friendly. Perfect.

We had a great evening celebrating my mom’s special birthday. There was room enough for six adults. Jared was knowledgeable about the different houses and the history of Naples. Lots of great conversation and he also seeing us a beautiful song under one of the bridges. It was a cool way to spend a hot night in Long Beach!
