About Florence

Florence is a city best seen from the water, and its gentle river setting makes boat time genuinely easy with kids in tow. Families can spend a full day chasing coastal villages on the Full-Day Cinque Terre Tour from Florence: UNESCO Villages & Stunning Coastal Views, or stay close to home on the short, calm Guided Florentine Gondola Boat Tour: See Florence from the Arno, which suits even the youngest passengers.

Frequently asked questions

The best family options here keep things short, calm and easy to manage. A one-hour gondola-style tour on the Arno means no long stretches of travel and plenty of landmarks to point out. Longer coastal days work well for older children who enjoy a full itinerary, while gentle paddling trips suit active families who want to be on the water.
