Arno River Florence: 50-Min Barchetto Cruise
About this experience
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.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
