Kayak Soft in Florence under the Pontevecchio Arches
Description
The excursion follows the Arno along the city, passing under the four main historical bridges of the Florence city center. The river is very quiet and is therefore ideal for those who want to take photographs and admire Florence's beautiful architecture from a unique perspective. We will cover some of the major historical sites such as the National Library, Uffizi Gallery, Pontevecchio, Santa Trinita bridge with Ammannati's sculptures, and much more! Paddling on your own mini raft, this guided experience let you arrive under the pictoresque arches of Pontevecchio, admiring the famed Vasari Corridor and the goldsmiths' workshops from below!

Excellent, especially with teens eager to do something active away from museums. The guides were friendly and very informative. The views from the water were exceptional.
It's been a great time. Definitely worth it!
This kayak tour is a great and relaxing way to see the center of the city. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. All 6 of us would highly recommend this experience!!
Our tour guide was amazing and so funny!! He was so informative and kind. We had an absolute blast doing this!!
Great tour on a boat of Florence. Highly recommend thanks for the friendly guide. Enjoyable experience
Our 8 year old had an amazing time. Asked if we could go again right away.
Fun. A really special and fun way to see Florence and the guides provide details of the city. You get to enjoy the architecture without the crowds. It is a calm experience and you are floating down the river as the dams make the water very smooth.
This was a great family experience! The instructors were friendly and informative. My twelve year old daughter and I were in a two seater kayak. We had never been in an inflatable kayak before. It was more comfortable than the typical kind. We saw a lot of cool nature along the Arno River. We would do this again.
21st October 2025. Marco was a great tour guide. Very friendly and welcoming. Glad he still went ahead with the tour as the weather did not look promising and there was only me and one other person. Very relaxing experience floating down the river and under all the bridges. And when it started to rain on the way back up stream, he asked if we wanted to escape the easy way but we decided to stay and paddle through it which was also a very fun experience. Grazie for this different and much less busy side to seeing Firenze!
Thank you Ellis!!
A great way to see Florence without the crowds. I went in Mid October and the river had no other traffic so it felt very special. Guides were great and shared lots of interesting facts.
Thank you very much Paul!! You've felt our spirit and the values really well
