Full description

- Preparation:
We advise you to arrive at our base at least 15 min before the time indicated on your booking. A large free car park awaits you on site. A briefing will be provided before the shuttle departure, during which you will be informed about safety instructions, markings on the river and the return trip.

- Tour:
Once at the starting point, your equipment will be provided (life jacket, waterproof canister, canoe and paddle) and then a short introduction on the use of your equipment will be given to you. Once you're ready, the fun can begin. You can go down the Ardèche river at your own pace and enjoy the landscapes that slowly pass before your eyes. You will cross your fair share of rapids which will make this descent a little more exciting!

Once you reach the arrival pier at 5 pm at the latest, the bus will be there to pick you up and take you back to the base where your vehicle is waiting for you. A perfect ending to a great day out!

This tour was exactly what we had wished for and more! loads of opportunities to ask questions, learn about the wine, the food, the culture and more. Chiara, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Chianti area and Tuscany region. Book this tour, you'll be glad you did!
