At the scheduled time, we will gather at number 22 of Via dei Vagellai. From this central location in Florence, a short walk will take us to the Uffizi pier where our romantic journey begins.

As we sail down the river on a traditional Tuscan boat, reminiscent of the famous Venetian gondolas, you will enjoy a distinct view of Florence's captivating riverside landmarks.

Our first highlight is cruising beneath the renowned Ponte Vecchio. Although today it is a beloved spot for proposals, this Medieval bridge has a complex past, which your guide will share, revealing the dramatic history surrounding one of the city's most iconic structures.

Continuing along the Arno, we will pass under the Ponte Trinità, taking in the stunning architecture of the Frescobaldi and Lanfredini Palaces. Are you curious about their previous residents? Discover the fascinating tale of the Vasari Corridor and its historical significance for Florence's nobility.

As a delightful finale, we will enjoy a glass of wine on board – the perfect way to conclude this enchanting experience! The boat ride on the Arno River will wrap up 1.5 hours later at the pier where we began.
