Soft Rafting in Florence under the Pontevecchio Arches
Description
The panoramic excursion includes the descent of the stretch of the Arno river that flows through the historic center of Florence, from San Niccolò to Santa Rosa. The river offers a truly unique perspective, with the possibility of taking magnificent photographs of the most famous buildings and monuments (Pontevecchio, Vasari Corridor, Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Santa Trìnita etc.). A perfect mix of sport and culture, the guides who will accompany you will tell anecdotes about the river and its centuries-old relationship with the city. Paddling in a group under the arches of Pontevecchio, an unforgettable experience!

Rafting was so gun and we also had three kayaks - Paddle on the river and saw several sights from different angle - Marco was a great guide!!
Scenic with very knowledgeable and fun guides. Because of windy conditions the trip had to be adjusted but was well done. Some slippery conditions with boarding and getting off the raft. Fun time.
Hector, our guide was friendly, funny and shared interesting facts about the city along the way. He gave us the option to go down the “water slide” (dam) on the raft. We did it and had lots of fun. I was glad to be wearing my quick dry rain jacket! The paddling wasn’t too strenuous, we had plenty of time to float and enjoy the scenery!
What a Great view from the river. Guide was an excellent Historian and pointed many previously unknown facts.
Incredible experience on the Arno River. Our guide Hector was very knowledgeable and gave us the history of the buildings and families associated with the city. It was chilly, but sunny & ended up being a perfect day on the water.
It was a tiny bit confusing on where to meet. I do wish that there were signs however it was incredible. Doing it at sunset really made the experience amazing and it was an experience that I had never thought to even do.
Thanks for the brilliant review Anna. We will try to make the details about the meeting point more clear.
This calm rafting tour was an amazing experience! Our guide was very kind and professional, and my friends and I learned a lot about Florence.
Thank you Maylieeeeee!! We appreciated a lot
Great trip. Our guide was excellent explaining details about the city but never interesting with our enjoyment. Felt personal not strenuous paddling. We managed to hit a beautiful sunset over the ponte vecchio bridge as well.
Thank you Joe
Good explanation for non-experienced rafters, fun guide with fun facts about the city, good alternation with effort and relaxation
Thank you very much
A great way to find out about the city. Our tour was a wealth of knowledge and really friendly. Highly recommend the 6:30pm slot, seeing the sun go down.
We are very happy that you have enjoyed the river experience!
