PRIVATE MINI CRUISE ON THE ARNO RIVER: FLORENCE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE

Escape the lively streets of Florence and discover the city from the peaceful waters of the Arno, where spectacular views and historic treasures unfold from an entirely different perspective. Keep your camera ready for a memorable journey!

Your 1.5-hour river cruise begins at Ponte alle Grazie, where you’ll meet your friendly “renaiolo,” a traditional Florentine gondolier, before boarding your boat for a relaxing sightseeing experience.

As you glide along the river, pass Pescaia di San Niccolò and continue towards Pescaia Santa Rosa, two historic weirs that have played an important role in controlling the river’s flow since medieval times. Along Florence’s picturesque waterfront, enjoy a remarkable view of the Uffizi Gallery and the Vasari Corridor from beneath Ponte Vecchio, offering a rare and fascinating angle on the city.

Continue cruising along the Arno River, passing magnificent historic palaces, ancient towers, and elegant buildings lining the riverbanks. The ever-changing scenery creates the perfect setting for stunning photographs and unforgettable moments.

Your traditional barchetto will then make its way past the Church of the Holy Apostles and Palazzo Corsini, while your renaiolo highlights the beautiful Santa Trinita Bridge, a much-admired landmark among the people of Florence.

The journey continues towards the charming San Frediano district, where you’ll enjoy lovely waterside views of the Church of San Jacopo Soprarno and experience another side of Florence’s rich architectural heritage.

As you approach Ponte alla Carraia, your river adventure draws to a close. Enjoy the gentle return journey, surrounded by the shimmering reflections of the city and the colourful Florentine sky.

A truly distinctive way to experience Florence, combining peaceful sailing, historic landmarks, romantic scenery, and breathtaking views from the heart of the Arno.
