A skilled boatman, embodying the true Florentine tradition shall poled you down the river as no engines can be used in the Arno to avoid any noise that will disturb the city all along while you would have been fed with stories and many amusing scenes by your witty cicerone (that is, guide). He shall show you the mysteries that remain hidden under water and let you light of some of the old buildings that stand on this magnificent waterway. And you will further hear stories of village folk!Check out some of the most amazing palaces along the riverbanks as you sip on a As you start on the tour, you are to meet the world-famous Uffizi Gallery located under the Ponte Vecchio, and learn so much about the mysterious Vasari Corridor.
