Day Trip to Leonardo da Vinci Birthplace from Florence with Light Lunch

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 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!
