5.00Where 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

5.00A 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!

5.00My 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! :)
Beautiful View of Ponte Vecchio

5.00We 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.
Unique experience in Firenze

5.00Tommaso 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.
Fun Experience!

5.00We all rowed with family, mom, dad, two teenagers and a 7-year-old girl. An amazing experience, paddling on the Arno River, passing under Ponte Vechio as a family quietly away from the people. Tomasso is an excellent person, very friendly and fun. I definitely recommend it and would do it again
