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!

Leaving 1 start because this is not a tour. It was a ride and totally not worth it a penny. Guide was not professional. Tour company was very professional but tour itself is a joke in this lovey city. You rather hangout on street than dirty river with no history aroung both sode of river.

This was a perfect way to end a day in Florence. Calm peaceful , away from the crowds - float down the Arno river. The guide was knowledge and friendly and made sure everyone was enjoying them self. Definitely recommend this for anyone coming to Florence and looking for an experience beyond touring.

Sara was a very knowledgeable guide. Everything was pretty efficient apart from the guy who wouldn’t open the gate to let us out as access to the Arno is restricted

The views were incredible and our host was so knowledgeable! She gave us so much history but with fun stories, extremely entertaining. It was relaxing, beautiful, and a lot of fun! We went for the morning ride so we had breakfast as well. Not sure why they add this because you eat before you get ont the boat so it is kind of strange. However, we got to know each other and the group was great fun so we all enjoyed every part of it.
I would have to say the boat ride was my favorite tour I took!

Had a fantastic chai latte and pistachio croissant to start the trip. A very short walk then to the traditional boat. We had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide who gave us a fantastic introduction to Florence. Would 100% recommend and would suggest to do this at the start of your stay as a great introduction to the city.

First off I have to say I apologize I’m horrible with names someone able to remember the name of our tour guide, but she was very informative. Answered any questions that you have I do remember she’s a history major . but one of the best decision you’re going to make is doing the boat tour a Florence you get to see it from another side on the Arno river and it’s beautiful
