Description
Unique Transportation: Traditional Tuscan Boat
Begin your day meeting your private local guide in Florence downtown for a visit to Florence like never before on a historic boat navigated by traditional “Renaioli” – Tuscany’s equivalent to Venetian gondoliers. Start your 45-minute pleasant cruise along the Arno River on board a historic boat, a noiseless crafts, pushed by the Renaioli with long poles or stalks without any oars.
Iconic Bridge Passages And Landmarks Views
Enjoy your navigation passing under the bridges of the city, above all under the worldwide known Ponte Vecchio and its Vasari Corridor! You will appreciate both sides of Florence dotted with impressive civic monuments and religious complexes, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Church of S. Jacopo sopr’Arno and all the palaces and towers that characterize the stretch of the river up to Ponte Santa Trinità. Then on to Ponte alla Carraia, admiring the majestic Palazzo Corsini and listening to the history of the bridges and riversides that changed their appearance over the centuries.
Culinary Experience on Board
During this relaxing trip, enjoy a bottle of Tuscan white or red wine on board, tasting the typical “Schiacciata”, one of the local top bakery treats, seasoned with extra virgin Tuscan olive oil.
