gondola rides
Canal boat tours
Gondola rides are excursions in gondolas—the long, narrow boats propelled by a standing oarsman.
The phrase evokes Venice, where tourists pay for romantic trips through canals: We took a gondola ride on our anniversary.
Gondola rides also occur at ski resorts, where enclosed cabins carry passengers up mountains, and at amusement parks.
