PRIVATE - A ROMANTIC PRIVATE BOAT TRIPWITH A TUSCAN APERITIF ALONG THE ARNO RIVER
Meeting with a private skipper at Ponte delle Grazie in Florence for an evening private boat trip along the Arno River on board a historic boat handled by the so-called “Renaioli”, similar to Venetian gondoliers! Thanks
to those noiseless crafts, pushed by the Renaioli with long poles or stalks without any oars, you will enjoy a one-hour’s length navigation passing under the bridges of the city, above all under the worldwide known Ponte Vecchio and its Vasari Corridor! You will appreciate both sides of Florence dotted with impressive civic monuments and religious complexes, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Church of S. Jacopo sopr’Arno and all the palaces and towers that characterize the stretch of the river up to Ponte Santa Trinità. Then on to Ponte alla Carraia, admiring the
majestic Palazzo Corsini; everything will be illuminated by the last warm sunrays, or the twilight will close in on you and on everything. During that romantic experience you will enjoy the quiet atmosphere at sunset, sipping a rich aperitif on board with some Tuscan red or white wine (Chianti DOCG or Bolgheri or Vermentino or Vernaccia) and with some finger-food (bread with truffles, “schiacciata” with tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella, a sandwich with “Capocollo” with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar and some fruit.
