Uncover the sunset magic of Florence on its only genuine gondola. Do you know which river flows beneath the iconic Ponte Vecchio in Florence? It's the Arno River. This exceptional tour invites you to experience Florence from its waters, gliding on the only authentic Florentine gondola during an unforgettable sunset cruise. With a guide to illuminate the journey, this is your chance to appreciate the city’s beauty at its most romantic and enchanting hour.

Step into tradition and elegance by climbing aboard Florence’s last remaining “barchetto,” a historic wooden boat exclusive to the Arno. Unlike motorized tours, this serene ride offers a tranquil, authentic perspective on the Renaissance city. As the river flows gently through the heart of Florence, you’ll be treated to unparalleled views and insights that walking or biking tours simply can’t provide.

Your adventure commences with a warm welcome from your skilled “barcaiolo,” who navigates the gondola with a traditional pole, preserving age-old techniques. Accompanied by an expert guide, you’ll hear fascinating stories, uncover local legends, and learn the history behind Florence’s most iconic landmarks.

As you glide past the majestic palazzi, you’ll take in breathtaking views of the Uffizi Gallery. This guided gondola tour offers a blend of history, romance, and charm, creating a truly unforgettable way to experience Florence at sunset.
