Join us on a boat ride through Florence on the Arno River, navigating the capital of Tuscany and crossing under the Ponte Vecchio in an authentic gondola.

Arno River Boat Tour

At the indicated time, we will meet at number 22 of Via dei Vagellai. From this central location in Florence, we will walk to the Uffizi pier for the boat ride on the Arno River.

With a traditional Tuscan boat, similar to Venetian gondolas, you will gain a unique view of Florence's riverside sights.

The tour begins by cruising under the famed Ponte Vecchio. Your guide will share the bridge's turbulent history, which contrasts with its current popularity for marriage proposals.

Continuing down the Arno, you will pass under the Ponte Trinità, viewing the architecture of the Frescobaldi and Lanfredini Palazzos. You will learn about the Vasari Corridor and its historical significance to Florence's nobility.

To conclude, we will enjoy a glass of wine on board, providing a fitting end to the experience. The boat ride will last 1.5 hours and conclude at the original pier.
