Definitely worth the experience. Our gondolier was very kind, respectful and lighthearted. Getting to see actual black swans on the lake was a huge plus. Not to mention getting to go at night meant it was extremely peaceful. It's definitely a gem of San Marcos everyone should do at least once. It'll be our one of our me regular celebratory choices for birthdays and anniversaries.Posted onMortoza MohammadiOctober 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Drew for your incredible hospitality. Felt like we were in Italy last night. The Gondola itself is a beautiful vessel and this was such a great date night idea! We went right after sunset and the lamps were lit up while we were on our way around the lake! Very romantic! Would do it again!Posted onJKL O'NSeptember 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We scheduled a Black Swan Gondola sunset cruise to celebrate our anniversary, and are so glad that we did! 💖 From the initial contact with this company, throughout the entire experience, our gondolier, Drew, was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He added special touches to make our cruise even more enjoyable and meaningful. We were treated to the perfect evening! We’ve been on other gondola rides, but this one is by far THE BEST in Southern California. Thank you for a fabulous evening, Drew!!Posted onDarlene BergamascoSeptember 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A gift to my best friends for their 46 year anniversary. Drew was extremely helpful with my booking. He demonstrates great customer service, and Dillion the Gondoler was engaging with my friends and so kind. A beautiful expierence and it happened at sunset, with a rain cloud lightning show.Posted onJosh SchoberSeptember 20, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
