Arno River Florence: 50-Min Barchetto Cruise

While everyone else is in line for the Duomo, you can get tickets for a truly unique Florentine experience: a gondola ride down the Arno River.

With only four original wooden "barchettos" left in Florence, you can turn up the romance in this beautiful Renaissance city with a "barcaiolo" as your guide.

Enjoy a refreshing apertivo as you sail through the heart of Florence – in front of the Uffizi Gallery, under the Ponte Vecchio bridge, among other bustling piazzas, towering cathedrals, and extensive palazzos.

The tour might be canceled due to rain or adverse weather conditions.
