Private Boat Tour on the Arno River

An enchanting Florentine cruise

Description

Enchanting, fascinating, overwhelmingly beautiful. Filled with gorgeous artistic masterpieces and striking architecture Florence is one of the most admired cities in the world. Walking through the historic center is fabulous, but if you’re looking for an outstanding, and unusual, viewpoint you can’t miss our special Private Boat Tour on the Arno River!

Appreciate Florence’s magnificence from an extraordinary viewpoint, the Arno river’s gently flowing waters, and enjoy the rare privilege of a private cruise and private guided tour. Meet your guide, a licensed professional dedicated exclusively to you and your party, and stroll to the Arno river banks. Ships ahoy! Board the quaint barchetto, the Florentine “gondola-like” traditional wooden dinghy, and set off on your memorable cruise.

Steered by the local "barcaiolo", sailor, with a long wooden pole, the barchetto will drift smoothly along the river, while your guide points out the sights and tells you about Florence’s history, including local stories and fascinating legends. Admire the majestic palace façades and evocative bridges cruising under the Ponte Vecchio, alongside the Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Corsini and below the sumptuous Santa Trinita Bridge.

Crown your experience a bracing typical Italian "aperitivo", an exquisite glass of chilled wine (and a soft drink for the children). In the morning Departure, a delicious Italian breakfast will replace the wine aperitivo.

Perfect for romantic couples, discerning travelers, fun-loving groups of friends and families with children, our Private Boat Tour on the Arno River allows you to admire Florence’s marvels, and learn about its heritage, from an engaging and one-of-a-kind angle.
