This was such a beautiful way to experience the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River! Our guide, Irene, was phenomenal. My boyfriend proposed during the tour and she was the sweetest about the whole thing!

Relaxing ride on the Arno

Jennifer_B, Aug 2023

This was a nice relaxing ride at end of long, hot day. Our guide was amazing, she was a historian and was able to answer any question we had. I sadly cannot remember her name (long trip) but I know her son's name is Cosimo. Lorenzo our rower was super friendly and nice. Easy meeting point. Highly recommend this tour and company.

Beautifully Romantic

Magical Evening

Jenny_R, Aug 2021

We had a spectacular time on the sunset cruise! The views were absolutely lovely and our family of five soaked in the experience of the beauty of Florence the entire ride. We were also lucky enough to have Caterina as our guide, whom we had met several years ago on a similar tour. Running into her was like seeing family again! She was so entertaining, warm, knowledgeable and funny that my youngest daughter said that it was the highlight of her trip to Italy so far to spend time with her again! Everyone facilitating the tour was courteous, kind and helpful and contributed to the joyful feeling of the magical evening. We left the tour delighted, refreshed, and eager to explore the rest of the beautiful night in Florence, with Caterina’s many dinner and gelato recommendations in our minds! Best boat tour ever! Grazie mille, Caterina!

friendly, easy to go tour
