Great Fun SUP Florence

Was great to participate in their first outing of 2025. Great Comms, fantastic way to see Florence on SUP. Nice stopping for a drink riverside. Also, free photos and videos shared promptly after the event. Recommended!

Don't reach for words

Where to start, just extraordinary. I do sup regularly and have rowed in every place I could, London, Venice, Dubrovnik, Rio etc. By far this was the best experience. Seeing Florence and the ponte Vecchio from another angle is beautiful and the company, the best. We got a few beers in a basket from a bar, to make the moment even more pleasant

Wonderful SUP on the Arno in Firenze

A wonderful early morning sunrise SUP with Tommaso. Just two of us. Me Pete hadn't SUPped before but Diane had. We arrived 630am and Tommaso was there with all the equipment. He is a lovely character and speaks excellent English. Great safety instruction, very professional and we felt immediately comfortable. Once out on the Arno, he made sure we were ok and gave us clear direction as needed. We had some great chats and it was more or less a tour of Firenze from the water. Once back on dry land he took us for a coffee and breakfast at a local caffe. Tommaso took all the photos and videos and WhatsApped them to me later in the day, along with all the videos synced to music. Highly recommended and a different but great way to see the city from the water, very peaceful away from the crowds.

A holiday highlight!

My friend and I went paddle-boarding through the beautiful city of Florence. I had never paddleboarded before but Tomasso was a kind and calm tutor and we felt safe at all times. We got to see a different side of the city with stunning views of Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi, with kingfishers flying along either side. Tomasso was a great guide and we learnt a lot about this wonderful city. He took photos/videos (so we wouldn't fall in!) and even treated us to a coffee after our trip. Thank you so much - this was a highlight of our holiday! :)

A not-to-be missed experience and a very special trip highlight!

What a wonderful experience! For something a bit different and to get a different perspective of the city, we decided on an early morning 2hr paddle boarding session along The Arno in Florence and under the Ponte Vecchio. It meant a 06:30 start but we were richly rewarded. The city wakes up slowly and it's lovely experiencing it from the water. Tommaso was an amazing guide, incredibly friendly, and gave us insights to a rich history we had previously been unaware of. He also took lots of lovely photos. This is a very gentle route, perfect for beginners (Tommaso provides lots of encouragement, guidance if needed and allows you to set your own pace) but it's also great for those with a bit more experience who just want to soak up Florence from a different angle. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful View of Ponte Vecchio

We had an amazing time on this tour! Very fun & easygoing. It was so cool to see the Ponte Vecchio from this point of view. This tour is great whether you have experience on a paddleboard or not. I would most definitely do it again and recommend it to all.

Incredible SUP experience with Tomasso

Tomasso was an incredible guide who made the excursion extremely enjoyable and engaging! He kept my 8 year old daughter entertained while relating with me during our ride. The peacefulness of the river was calming and it was great to experience Florence from a different view. I would strongly recommend this experience with Tomasso!

Unique experience in Firenze

Tommaso was a great, very attentive guide. The whole tour was well planned and comfortable even without any previous SUP experience. Definitely gives you a unique view from the water and something to remember from your trip.

Ponte Vecchio Tour

Florence can be tough for kids - lots of churches, walking, crowds, etc. This was a perfect family activity - our three kids (13, 12 and 9) had a blast. It was such a cool way to experience Florence. Tomasso and our other guide were great - so personable and fun (and they took great pictures for us to remember the experience).
