About this experience

Experience a cruise on the Arno River aboard a barchetto, a small traditional boat, as you pass under the iconic Ponte Vecchio. This activity is suitable for those who appreciate unique local experiences, particularly on water. The cruise includes a glass of chilled Tuscan rosé or white wine and allows you to view attractions such as Corsini Palace and the Santa Trinita Bridge. Note that the barchetto is one of only four original boats still in operation in Florence.
