La Gondola Providence, Inc., Venetian gondola service in Downtown Providence, United States.
La Gondola Providence operates four authentic gondolas that carry passengers along the Providence and Woonasquatucket rivers, gliding beneath historic bridges and past waterfront parks. Each boat follows the traditional Venetian design and construction methods.
The service was established in 2007 and gradually developed into a recognized waterfront attraction. Since then, the operation has been continuously expanded and refined.
Gondoliers perform traditional Italian songs as they navigate the rivers, weaving Venetian customs into the local waterfront experience. This musical element is what many visitors remember most from their time on the water.
Tours run from May through November and last approximately 40 minutes each. Book ahead, especially during warmer months and weekends, to secure your spot.
The company operates a charitable foundation that provides assistance to local families across the Providence area. This charitable side of the business is something many visitors are surprised to learn about.
