Worth the cost! - Lovely drive through Tuscany hills and so nice to get out of the city! Vinci museum was interesting and the Dianello winery with lunch was superb!

A Fantastic Day in Every way - Everything about our tour was perfect. Our driver, Francesco, was friendly, funny and a delight to be with all day. We loved the museums and Leonardo’s birthplace. The high point of our day was the fabulous lunch we had and the wines we were introduced to at the Daniella Winery. Simone was so knowledgeable and kind to us. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

A Perfect Tour - Luigi was our most gracious guide! He provided my wife, our daughter, her fiancé and I with a most memorable experience, sharing his knowledge Leonardo, Italian history and love of life with us. The tour Leonard's birthplace, museum topped off with an excellent wine tasting and delicious lunch set in a picturesque vineyard, which was hosted by the vineyard's owner/wine maker. This was an unexpected treat. We couldn't have had a more perfect tour.
Grazie Luigi per averci fornito un'ottima e memorabile visita, condividendo la tua conoscenza e il tuo amore per la vita con noi. Sei davvero speciale!

A great day out - Luigi, our guide, was so friendly and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our day. He gave us some Leonardo facts and history on the about 1 hour drive from Florence to Vinci. Vinci was beautiful, and the museums and house were lovely. We then went to a vineyard and really enjoyed the wine tasting (a sparkling rose, two chiantis, a merlot, and a dessert wine) with bread, pecorino cheese, olive oil, etc - a perfect little light lunch! (We are vegetarian, so the meal was adapted for us - I think it normally includes some meats too). The lady at the vineyard was great, she was very happy to show us around the wine cellar that had some lovely picturesque wine barrels. The whole place was beautiful too. On the way back to Florence, Luigi gave us some tips on good restaurants, which was helpful.

Amazing - Thank you to Francesco ( our driver) for the informative tour and beautiful memories that we will treasure. We had a beautiful sunny day out to Leonardo Da Vinci's birth town and to view his amazing machines he invented. I would highly recommend this tour as you come to understand what a truly amazing man Leonardo was.

Great experience - We were in Florence for one week and decided to book this day trip. We met the tour guide Mirko in the city center, and were just the two of us. We were very lucky, like having a private tour. The da Vinci museum has extensive examples of his work. The drive through Tuscany was beautiful, and the lunch more than light - great wine, nice country venue. Mirko was quite knowledgeable and helpful - taking into account our age, I am 82.

This was absolutely the highlight of... - <p>This was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Florence. Our guide, Luciana, was fantastic. We were picked up just down the street from our hotel as promised. Everything was perfect. The meal at the villa, which was formerly the hunting lodge of the Medici family, was delicious and we tasted the various wines that are made on the premises. The tour of the wine cellar and olive oil cellar was informative as well. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Leonardo's life and shared many interesting facts. The visit to his home was also enjoyable as were the trips to the museum. Overall, the best guided tour I have ever taken anywhere!</p>

Dissatisfied - Sooo...very surprised focal point of trip (Leonardo) accounted for 1.5 out of 5 hours! We were not guided on the tour, really only provided a driver. Museum grounds quite confusing and we spent a bit if time trying to figure out where to go. Focus is largely on inventions and engineering which was a bit disappointing for art lovers. By Anchiano there is an artworks chronology of reproductions that is very informative, which our driver pointed out, but was not even part of the tour. We had romantic notions of walking through Leonardo's village of his youth but you don't even tour or really access the town. Lunch in a Tuscan farmhouse with cellars and wine tasting is really lunch at a golf club...we passed and will request a partial refund. Unfortunately for this tour company we had an exceptional private tour the previous day which really contrasted this tour's deficiencies. I would not take this trip. Uber to Vinci yourself and have a wander, it will be better. I will say our driver Stefano was very nice and we appreciated him and his idea about the art add-on.
