Our gondola ride was a birthday celebration and it was truly unique and special. Loved the gondolier! He was professional and played the best music for us as we traveled around the picturesque San Marcos Lake enjoying the afternoon warmth of the sun. Can’t wait to book another excursion at night so we can enjoy the lights on the lake at this time of year! That would be awesome! Great job and think this company will be around a long time. So many events could be celebrated -lovers, friends and even children would love this experience!Thank you for having the idea for us to enjoy!

This is nothing short of awesome! So romantic and the Gondolier was actually rowing! I thought thered be a hidden motor but nope he was rowing. Highly recommended. Try and get the sunset cruise if you can. Well be back!

This is the absolute perfect experience to share with your friends or a loved one. Great for any experience.Connor was a personable and funny gondalier who kept us engaged but also let us have our moments of silence together. He kept the tunes going and had a good variety (you can only listen to Sinatra and Martin for so long lol). I took my girlfriend here for our anniversary and we loved it. Worth every penny.You will regret it if you do not book with Black Swan Gondola.Drew was communicative and helpful throughout the entire planning process and didnt try to pinch pennies out of me, even going so far as to refund me for the add ons that he didnt think would pan out perfectly. In this case, I had purchased the cinematography for the drone, but because of all the ashes and cloudiness with the fires in San Diego right now, the videos wouldnt have come out the best. Drew told me about it and asked for my opinion, to which we both agreed to not do the cinematics.Honest, fun, and overall excellent company to work with.

We were celebrating our first year anniversary and wanted to experience a romantic and relaxing adventure. The sunset cruise was beautiful and we loved seeing all the black swans. I would recommend this little taste of Italy.

I loved the ride- the lake made me feel i was in Europe. The owner of the business is a nice guy and our rower was fun. i recommend this ride BIG TIME

Service was great, experience was amazing ! Great for special occasions or just a Super memorable date! Drinks at the neighboring bar were great too !

The best experience I’ve ever had on a boat, worth the drive, worth every penny spent, the view is beautiful & peaceful ..!!

I was so blessed to enjoy the beauty of San Marcos Lake on the Black Swan Gondola which name reflects the beautiful Black Swans that live on the Lake. It was so relaxing and breathtaking at the same time. We were able to bring a picnic lunch and wine on board to make it an even more fabulous experience. The Gondalier was very informative and made the ride more enjoyable.

Such a fun time! We had the perfect girls night. We were able to bring a bottle of wine (no corkage fee which was a major perk)! North county’s hidden gem for sure.

Great experience with my wife. Really enjoyed our ride after being recommended by a friend who lives in town. It’s a great gift or treat for your loved ones.

Booked a gondola ride for a girl’s day. Scheduling was super easy, really accommodating. Even let me bring my pup! Great for celebrating or just cause. Definitely will be back soon.

My wife and I had an absolute blast on our cruise during the holidays. The whole experience was seamless from start to finish. The owner explained everything clearly, and it exceeded my expectations. They offered these cool add on’s so I ordered roses, and a message in a bottle that scored me some major points with the wife. My only mistake was only bringing one bottle of champagne!!! Being on a real Venetian gondola was such a unique experience, it’s unlike anything in the area. My wife bought another cruise immediately after for her and her friends! Thank you so much for the hospitality, can’t wait to do it again. Cheers!!

Thank you for helping to make my proposal so very special, we will definitely return again and again. Simply wonderful.
