This was a lovely activity to do in Florence! Anytime I can get on the water, I am happy...but it was so relaxing at night. I much prefer this environment over the party boat experience. We did this the evening that we arrived in Florence. the guide was informative with all of the history along the Arno. I would do this again and highly recommend!

Leaving 1 start because this is not a tour. It was a ride and totally not worth it a penny. Guide was not professional. Tour company was very professional but tour itself is a joke in this lovey city. You rather hangout on street than dirty river with no history aroung both sode of river.

This was a perfect way to end a day in Florence. Calm peaceful , away from the crowds - float down the Arno river. The guide was knowledge and friendly and made sure everyone was enjoying them self. Definitely recommend this for anyone coming to Florence and looking for an experience beyond touring.
