This was a FABULOUS experience. I took a group of friends out as a "Thank You" for coming to visit me, and I was the one getting the "Thank Yous". It was beautiful and reasonably priced. The fact that you can bring your own drinks, and they provide glasses, wine keys, etc. was wonderful. The fact that you can choose... More

If you're looking to spend some time on the water, relax and catch a sunset without steering a boat - then this is the attraction for you! What a beautiful experience to enjoy with your friends or family (rides from 4-6 guests) on the glistening Coronado Bay. You can even bring your own beverages, they will provide the glassware (if...

We did the gondola ride to celebrate our anniversary. Our gondolier, Gino, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He gave us many facts about the area and our gondola and then answered any questions that we had during our trip. He also was very good at maneuvering the gondola, especially around the docks!! We went just before the sunset times, but... More

While staying at Loews Coronado we booked the gondola ride. What a great time! Took a spin around the harbor and Gregorio was very informative. Awesome strawberries and experience. More

We went for the Sunset cruise at 5 PM. The Gondolier Enrico was very nice and the cruise was worth the money! Although it was cloudy that day, but the song and music made up for the missing fun of sunset colors. More

Our godolier (Geno) was very knowledgeable of the area (Coronado) He let us know where our gondola was built and what type of wood it is made from. He was a very good driver he could guide that gondola around corners like crazy! He politely answered all my two granddaughters' thousand questions without a skip. Our ride was amazing especially...

The cruise was on a beautiful evening; there were meteorites very close to us. That was an unexpected surprise. Unfortunately, the ride was not what I expected. The gondolier did not offer to play any music. That was not a big deal to us, but at two points in time we seemed to coast to a stop and waited for... More

I took a ride with my husband in May and it was romantic, relaxing and oh, so perfect. The Gondola Co provided some huge, yummy strawberries... covered in chocolate along with background music. The seats are padded and comfy and there were even blankets available if needed and we had recorded background music. The gondalier was very professional, friendly and... More

Being from San Diego, I recommend this unique way to see a part of San Diego. I've enjoyed it myself so I also shared the venture my dad and his girlfriend and also my brother in law on a separate trip. Both parties loved the tranquil cruise and couldn't believe how "cool" it was. My brother in law is from... More
