We invite you to revel in the sights of the City from a unique vantage point that captures the heart of Providence. Enjoy an excursion along the Woonasquatucket and Providence Rivers and witness the revitalization of the City, river walks, and waterfront parks. Whether you are celebrating an anniversary or birthday, looking to propose to that special someone, or just on a vacation to the city, a gondola trip is a great way to make your visit to Providence memorable and unique. La Gondola operates three authentic Venetian gondolas along the Providence Riverwalk, accommodating up to six passengers at a time on each gondola. Reservations are highly recommended and are always exclusive to your party. We are open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and every evening as well, from 5 p.m. until midnight. Our season is from 1 May to 31 October, and of course trips are always subject to availability and the weather. We hope to see you on the water! « less

I cannot say enough good stuff about this attraction. It was an amazing experience from beginning to end. Our gondolier was just out of this world. Great singing voice, so generous with his time. He made it an experience to treasure for our anniversary, from the second we arrived. It was romantic, lovely and such a great way to view... More

“Best thing to do in Providence!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2012

We have lived in RI for ages, but never would have thought to take a trip with La Gondola except that we had some relatives in town and wanted to show them the city in a unique and interesting way. We all ended up having a wonderful time, and saw Providence in a different light ourselves! The vocalist was amazing,... More

It offers a different perspective of Providence on a relaxing boat ride that really creates a memorable evening. The gondoliers are both professional and courteous with a great sense of humor and...

I planned a trip to Providene, RI for our anniversary. Water Fire happened to be taking place that night and in doing my research, I happened upon La Gondola. Although the gondola rider are pricier on WaterFire nights, our experience was FANTASTIC and worth every penny. We selected an early time slot (6:50--WaterFire started at 6:30) so that it was...
