A gondola ride tour in Florence at sunset is a unique and unforgettable experience that offers a glimpse into the romantic side of the city. As the sun begins to set, embark on a tranquil journey down the Arno River, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Florence. With the soft light of the setting sun casting a warm glow over the city, you'll be transported to a magical world where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. After you meet the guide, you will then get on board a “barchetto”, the Florentine Gondola, one of the only 4 original traditional wooden boats left in Florence, conducted by a “barcaiolo”, a true Florentine tradition holder that will guide the boat with his long-reaching pole. No noisy engines, only the charm of tradition and the voice of your expert guide to unveil the secrets of the Arno River as you stroll on its calm waters and discover its history and the beautiful Palazzos that frame its ancient riverbed. You will pass in front of the Uffizi gallery, the beautiful caretaker of many artistic historical treasures, pass under the unique Pontevecchio bridge and find out more about the mysterious Vasari Corridor. You will also have the chance to discover the Santa Trinita Bridge and the amazing Palazzo Corsini. Sunset is also the perfect time to start enjoying the pleasures of good food and wine and you will then enjoy a refreshing “aperitivo” with a glass of cool wine, to celebrate onboard your romantic stay in Florence! Please note that from mid-September the Sunset will start when the tour departs so you can admire the city's night lights. With a maximum of 10 participants, this mini cruise on the Arno River aboard a Florentine gondola lasts approximately 1 hour.
