Boat Tour on the Arno River
Step aboard a Florentine Gondola, one of only four original wooden “barchetti” left in Florence, for a romantic and unique cruise along the Arno River. Guided by a traditional barcaiolo using a long pole instead of noisy engines, you’ll glide peacefully while your expert guide shares the history and secrets of Florence’s riverfront. As you float past the Uffizi Gallery, under the Ponte Vecchio, and alongside the mysterious Vasari Corridor, you’ll also admire the Santa Trinita Bridge and the grand Palazzo Corsini. The experience combines fascinating commentary with a relaxed pace, offering both history and colorful local stories.
To make the moment even more memorable, you’ll enjoy a refreshing glass of wine as you take in the stunning views. This safe and enchanting cruise is the perfect way to see Florence from a different perspective, blending tradition, romance, and the beauty of the city’s timeless landmarks.
Duration: 45 minutes
