Cruise along the Arno River and under the incredible Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s famous bridge, on a barchetto, a small traditional boat! Florence’s answer to the Venetian gondola, your barchetto is one of only 4 originals still operating in Florence. Savor this unique experience with a glass of chilled Tuscan rosé or white wine, while passing beautiful Florence attractions like the Corsini Palace and the Santa Trinita Bridge. On the morning tour, a tasty Italian breakfast is offered by us.

Lovely ride on the Arno River. Our guide pointed out interesting buildings and shared history and fun stories as we went along. It gave us a different perspective from our land tours.

Felt expensive for what it was. Lovely to see sights from the river but trip was more like 40 mins after starting late so felt a bit short changed. Tour info fairly light on detail.

We were not on a tour for our trip, so this boat ride gave a nice overview of Medici history through the architecture on the river. It is a scenic and unique view of the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio. There is only a limited stretch of the Arno the boat can go down because of dams that have been added, but still a lovely ride and plenty of refreshing white wine.

Views were lovely, but the experience wasn’t what we thought it would be. Disorganised and confusing for the meeting place. Tour guide was late and address to meet led us to a place where no one answered the door. Went down to the boats and no one had record of our booking. When the tour guide finally showed much later she argued that we went to the wrong area—-we clearly did not.

The staff was very helpful and friendly and the views from the Arno were spectacular. I must mention a couple of things tho. Please implement a late policy. We waited 20 minutes for late comers. I asked if the tour would be cut short and told no. However when we got to Ponte Carraia the guide said it was Ponte Amerigo Vespucci and continued with a story referencing Vespucci. So either she doesn’t know the bridges or the tour was cut short.

Same day cancellation by the operator. Refund experience was not automatic; it requires a ticket with customer service.

Do not book with this company. Booking was made 3 weeks in advance. They cancelled the day before the trip and were unable to offer an alternative. Booking in advance is meant to avoid such disappointments. Also, no clear option to get a refund for the trip via TripAdvisor or Viator. Very poor experience.

This was a lovely activity to do in Florence! Anytime I can get on the water, I am happy...but it was so relaxing at night. I much prefer this environment over the party boat experience. We did this the evening that we arrived in Florence. the guide was informative with all of the history along the Arno. I would do this again and highly recommend!

Nice little river cruise along the Arno River taking in the history and views, accompanied with a small glass of wine.
