Overview
Come aboard this “Florentine Gondola” for a romantic and unique cruise on the Arno River and an “aperitivo” right before dinner.
Join us for a leisurely cruise down the River Arno and see Florence from a unique perspective. Meet your guide at our office and enjoy a walking tour through Piazza Signoria and under the Uffizi Gallery, seeing the Pontevecchio from the bank. Then, board a "barchetto", one of the only four original traditional wooden boats in Florence, and be guided along the calm waters of the Arno by a "barcaiolo", a true Florentine tradition holder. You will discover the history of the river and the beautiful Palazzos that frame its ancient riverbed.
On the tour, you will pass in front of the Uffizi Gallery and under the unique Pontevecchio bridge. You will find out more about the mysterious Vasari Corridor and have the chance to discover the Santa Trinita Bridge and the amazing Palazzo Corsini.
After the boat ride, enjoy a refreshing "aperitivo" with a glass of cool Prosecco wine to celebrate your romantic evening in Florence. Experience the splendor of this special city from the relaxed comfort of an old, gondola-style, traditional boat.
