Description

All aboard, let’s cruise the Arno River!

Florence boat tour: enjoy the unique and rare privilege of admiring Florence’s magnificence leisurely, relaxing and savoring an aperitivo wine, aboard a traditional local “barchetto” (the Florentine Gondola) on the Arno river.

Meet your guide, an experienced professional and reach the banks of the river to the boarding point of the “barchetto”: entirely made of wood it is one of the 4 still existing originals!

Hop aboard, and the local “barcaiolo” will steer gently over the water using a long wooden pole while your guide entertains you with an account of Florence’s eventful history full of colorful local anecdotes, telling you some of the secrets the river holds and explaining the bridges, majestic palaces and slender towers you see on shore. Sit back and enjoy the cruise as you ride beneath the Ponte Vecchio, and then admire it and the Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Corsini and gorgeous Santa Trinita Bridge from mid-river.

For a perfect crescendo ending, there will be time to relish a refreshing, typical Italian “aperitivo”: a glass of chilled wine (soft drink for children). Our “Florentine Gondola Tour” is without doubt a wonderful way to enter into the splendor and traditions of Florence.

Enjoy a unique experience with our boat tours of Florence and you will never forget your holiday in Italy.
