Arno gondola ride

During the three-hour boat tour of Florence, you will learn more of the history, art and culture that has grown within the city for hundreds of years. Such a beautiful and romantic city deserves an unforgettable tour, which is why your tour guide shows you the city from the river in a traditional gondola-style Barchetto boat, taking in sights such as Ponte Vecchio and the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella along the way.

The city’s beautiful architecture, picturesque setting and artistic legacy all contribute to the city’s reputation as one of the country’s greatest treasures and a portal to Renaissance Italy, all of which you’ll find out about in greater detail thanks to your tour guide who will accompany you on your journey.

Your relaxing tour of Florence concludes with an authentic Italian espresso at one of the city’s many famous and historic cafés.
