My wife & I have been to New Orleans several times but never to city park before. The park itself was lovely on a perfect Spring day, but the gondola ride was truly beautiful. Robert had an ice bucket filled & ready for our champagne & provided cheese & crackers. He was knowledgable but also let us quietly drink in... More

We went on our gondola ride in March and it happened to be pretty cold on the night we went. Well, our guide had a blanket for us (how thoughtful!) so we kept warm the whole time! Super sweet! We went underneath a few bridges and while we were under one of them I wrote a note to my husband... More

Amazing. Fantastic Wonderful. Great. Robert THANK YOU! I'll let the pictures say it all. This should be #1 for New Orleans/ City Park. Bring your own champagne/wine and light snacks and it'll be perfect. Absolutely worth the price. Make sure you bring your printed receipt and your camera! We did the 6 pm/ 7 pm tour to catch the sunset.

Robert, the Gondolier is excellent as is his Gondola. A must if you visit New Orleans. Located about 10 min. from the French Quater in City Park, it is a genuine Gondola made in Italy, with a very interesting history, takes you on a very tranquil and relaxing tour of the park. My wife and I fully enjoyed it and... More

Took a ride on the gondola and really enjoyed it. I suprised my gf with this ride as a b-day present. She really loved it. It was a very comfortable ride, got to see some art that is displayed around the park. There were also holiday lights on display due to the time of year(late November). The gondola captain was...

If you only do one thing in New Orleans, this is a must! Riding in a gondola through City Park was a fantastic experience. It is very relaxing and romantic. Robert is an excellent tour guide. This view of the park was great. Loved the music, too. Be sure and allow enough time to find where he is located as... More

My wife booked a trip on the Nola Gondola for us and another couple as a surprise. We almost missed our appointment due to a late taxi, but Robert had no problem waiting. The gondola is beautiful and Robert is better than any gondolier I met in Venice. He is very knowledgeable about the park and he steers the Bella... More

Located in City Park, this unique experience is only a few minutes from the quarter, but light years away in atmosphere. A genuine Gondola built in Venice, the gondolier takes you through a one hour trip through the canals of City Park. In the evening you can see several illuminated artworks that line the shore, along with the natural beauty... More

I booked Nola Gondola for my boyfriend's 40th birthday trip to New Orleans last week. The experience was absolutely amazing. City Park is breathtaking and Robert is a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. We brought a bottle of wine with us and Robert provided wine glasses, cheese & crackers. Anyone traveling to New Orleans should book this tour. This... More
