What to Expect
A semi-private sunset cruise through the most intimate side of Florence
Which river flows beneath the Ponte Vecchio in Florence? The Arno River. This tour offers you the chance to glide along its waters, experiencing Florence from a completely new perspective on an unforgettable sunset boat ride. Take in the city’s beauty at the most romantic and enchanting time of day!
Experience Florence from a Unique Perspective
Step aboard one of the last remaining “barchetti” in Florence for a magical sunset cruise on the Arno River. As the river winds through the heart of the Renaissance city towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, you’ll be treated to a view of Florence unlike any other. This peaceful journey offers a perspective you won’t find on typical walking or biking tours, allowing you to fully appreciate the city’s beauty as the sun sets.
Relax with your experienced “barcaiolo” at the helm
Your adventure begins as you meet your expert “barcaiolo,” who will skillfully navigate the boat using a long-reaching pole. Without the noise of engines, the experience is serene and steeped in tradition. Along the way, a knowledgeable guide will share insights and entertaining stories about the landmarks you pass, adding depth to your journey.
Discover Florence’s Iconic Landmarks from the Water
As you glide past the elegant palazzi lining the river, you’ll also have the chance to see some of Florence’s most famous sights from a unique vantage point. Marvel at the stunning architecture of the Uffizi Gallery, feel the awe as you pass beneath the iconic Ponte Vecchio, and learn about the hidden treasure of the Vasari Corridor. You’ll also take in the sights of the Santa Trinita Bridge and Palazzo Corsini, all while enjoying a refreshing glass of wine.
This tour is the perfect way to spend a romantic evening, creating lasting memories in one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
