Have you ever wanted to see the Cradle of the Renaissance from a different perspective? See and experience the splendour of Florence on a traditional boat from the Arno River.
Our guide to Florentine Gondola Boat Tour
Come aboard this “Florentine Gondola” for a romantic and unique cruise on the Arno River! See Florence from a totally different perspective. A leisurely cruise down the River Arno is a great way to see Florence. After you meet the guide, you will then get on board the “barchetto”, the Florentine Gondola, one of the only 4 original traditional wooden boats left in Florence, conducted by a “barcaiolo”, a true Florentine tradition holder that will guide the boat with his long-reaching pole.
No noisy engines, only the charm of tradition and the voice of your expert guide to unveil the secrets of the Arno River as you stroll on its calm waters and discover its history and the beautiful Palazzos that frame its ancient riverbed.
You will pass in front of the Uffizi gallery, the beautiful caretaker of many artistic historical treasures, pass under the unique Pontevecchio bridge and you will find out more about the mysterious Vasari Corridor. You will also have the chance to discover the Santa Trinita Bridge and the amazing Palazzo Corsini.
You will then enjoy a refreshing glass of cool wine, to celebrate on board your romantic stay in Florence!
The commentary is informative but very entertaining and may include a few colourful local stories. The tour is safe and very enjoyable. See and experience the splendour of this special city from the relaxed comfort of an old, gondola-style, traditional boat.
