Description
What river flows beneath the Ponte Vecchio in Florence? The Arno River. This is your chance to take on the waters and see the city from a different angle during this unforgettable sunset boat ride in Florence. Enjoy the best of this charming city at the most romantic hour of the day!
Join us on one of the only four “barchetti” in Florence for a very uplifting sunset boat cruise along the Arno River. It runs through the Cradle of the Renaissance on its way to the Tyrrhenian Sea via Empoli and Pisa, though your trip will not go that far! That calm voyage is an amazing way to see Florence-an angle not easily gotten to by walking or cycling tours, to take in the loveliness of this great city at sunset.
Get to know your "barcaiolo" and enjoy a peaceful trip on the river.
An informed guide will chatter about the sights as you take in the ‘barcaiolo’ who poles the boat down the river. No noisy engines disturb the Arno River, so your tour is an experience full of charm and tradition, with stories from your guide about what’s visible around. You may also receive lively and funny local anecdotes.Check out the sights from the river
‘Sailing along the river, you might notice the beautiful palazzi lining its banks and also view some of Florence’s most famous landmarks from your gondola. Take a minute to admire the architectural elegance of the Uffizi Gallery, be startled as you walk under the Ponte Vecchio, and find out about an unknown paradise: the Vasari Corridor. In addition to this, you can see the Santa Trinita Bridge and the Palazzo Corsini, along with a cool glass of wine being consumed. Very few experiences in Florence beat out this one right here for ultimate romanticism.”Highlights
