About Florence
Florence's history is written along the Arno, where Renaissance palaces and old bridges line a river that once carried wool, marble and merchants. A short sail on a traditional barchetto, like the Florence River Cruise on a Traditional Barchetto, puts that skyline in perspective from the water. For travellers who want to push further into Tuscan and Italian heritage, the Exclusive Private Cinque Terre Experience from Florence trades the river for the Ligurian coast and its terraced villages.

Frequently asked questions
Florence is the cradle of the Renaissance, so its history is inseparable from the art and architecture you see. A river cruise on the Arno frames the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio and the Oltrarno palaces from a perspective the streets cannot give you.
