One-oar Surfing on the Arno River from Florence
Overview
Activity suitable for everyone: slowly glide along the Arno River on a wide and safe board, with a professional instructor who directs us on this memorable Florentine adventure.
The calm of the river and the peace within us!
Here's what we'll see during our passage on the Arno:
The Uffizi Gallery, the palaces of the ancient families who lived on the Lungarno
