Florence: Arno River Cruise on Traditional Barchetto & WineYou board a traditional barchetto — one of only four still operating in Florence — and spend 45 minutes gliding down the Arno under the Ponte Vecchio, past the Palazzo Corsini and the Uffizi, with a glass of Tuscan wine or soft drink in hand and a licensed English-speaking guide narrating the river's history. The small group size and low-water perspective mean you see the city from an angle most visitors never get, and the whole experience is unhurried enough to actually absorb what you're looking at.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to see Florence's most famous bridge from the water instead of standing on it, and you'd rather have a historian explain what you're looking at than figure it out from a guidebook — the small group size and low perspective are what make that possible in a single 45-minute window.
Florence Arno River Gondola Boat Tour: Traditional BarchettiA 2-hour gondola boat tour on the Arno River in Florence travels past medieval bridges and Renaissance palaces aboard a traditional barchetto, with a licensed guide in English, Spanish or Italian and an aperitif served on board. Children from age 1 are welcome; the boat accommodates infants on an adult's lap.
