    The romantic gondola ride was absolutely amazing. Our Gondeleir, Jimmy, made our 20 yr anniversary feel so special

    I had such a fun and memorable time with Gondola Adventures! From start to finish, the experience felt like a little escape right on the water. My gondolier, Woody, was incredible. His voice was absolutely amazing and gave the whole ride a true Italy vibe. He also had such great conversation, making it feel warm, comfortable, and personal the entire way.

    One of the highlights was the fresh charcuterie box paired with cold, sparkly apple cider. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and refreshing. It was the perfect addition to enjoy while taking in the peaceful surroundings.

    Between the beautiful setting, the authentic Italian feel, and Woody’s talent and hospitality, it was an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for something unique, relaxing, and special to do, this is it. I would 100% do it again!

    This was a beautiful anniversary surprise from my boyfriend! Shout out to my man and Gondola Adventures for this special memory! We took tour with Jacob, he was very polite and took great pictures for us during the boat tour and served us great food prior to departing. If you go I'd suggest taking a ride in the afternoon, it's very peaceful to experience alone or with your partner. Thanks again for this experience!

    It’s a great lake side walking trail. If you complete 1 round walk then it will be enough for the day. I went late so I did not get a chance for boating but other than this I satisfied myself and my wife too.

    Gondola adventures has been a staple of the lake Carolyn/Mandalay Canals area for years now!

    It’s a very awesome place where you can get a boat ride through the canals and have Gondoliers sing songs to you while you eat Italian food, sip champagne, and eat dessert!

    They also have proposal packages! And believe me it is a great option to get the bottle drop for your proposal where your significant other can read a note in a bottle before you propose. They also offer Drone and Photography to capture the moment!

    If you want something, a little more chill and low-key, they also own a boat rental company on the lake, where you can rent paddle boards, kayaks, and a duck/swan boats!

    What an amazing adventure! Super romantic and tranquil. I surprised my husband to celebrate his birthday, and he loved it! We arrived early, so we walked around and took a few pictures. Check in was easy, our Gondolier Pedro was amazing. He directed us to his gondola Princesca, he was friendly and a great singer! I loved that he sang Happy Birthday for my husband in Portuguese ♡. The whole ride was just amazing! The weather was perfect (right at Sunset). It's definitely worth it. Nothing negative about it!
