Overview

Florence has a special place in the International history and development of Gays life and culture, Since the Middle Ages, though controlled by a specific Police Force, the Tuscan town proved to be open minded and tolerant, compared with the rest of Europe.
During our walking tour, we will see how a very high percentage of men was involved in the activity of sodomy , included the Medici male members and the different kind of punishements used for the guilty and the means to fight that crime.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
