Hello! My name is Armando, I am an expert of Italian art, history, archeology and culture, and I have been working as an official tour guide for over twenty-five years. I am originally from Rome, I moved to Vinci, Tuscany a few years ago - birth place of the famous Leonardo da Vinci, 25 miles West of Florence -, and I am specialized in private tours of Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca, Vinci and all of Tuscany. I provide my guests a great summary of some twenty centuries of history most cities boasts, telling them about art and archaeology, past and present, local culture and every day life, and how all is inextricably combined. I am not going to give you a lecture - unless you want to - I will be informative but I won't overdo with too many dates and names, I will make your visit fun with anecdotes and legends: I know you are here on holiday and your holiday is meant to be enjoyable and fun! Whether it is your first visit, second or third time in Florence and Tuscany, I will be happy to create a customized itinerary based upon your interests to make you experience a unique, relaxing vacation. Ciao! No restrictions at all!

Let's discover the most emblematic men of the Italian Renaissance: Leonardo da Vinci! He was born in Vinci on 1452; he spent there his childhood and adolescence and Vinci still preserves the same urban and countryside landscape it had when the young genius started his investigation of the natural phenomena, and made his first hydraulic experiments in the small river of the town. We'll visit the local museums, Leonardo's birthplace, and we'll walk beautiful rolling hills with olive groves and vineyard. I am not going to give you a lecture - unless you want to - I will be informative but I won't overdo with too many dates and names, I will make your visit fun with anecdotes and legends, you will have time to enjoy a coffee or an ice cream: I know you are here on holiday and your holiday is meant to be enjoyable and fun!
I'll meet you in Vinci, at the ticket office of Museo Leonardiano, in Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 26 or in another agreed spot in Vinci. Visit to: - Leonardo Museum (inside - the oldest collection entirely dedicated to his work as scientist, technologist and engineer, situated in the Castle of the Counts Guidi in Vinci) - The Church of the Holy Cross (inside - still preserving the baptismal font where Leonardo was baptized) - Leonardo's birthplace in Anchiano (Casa Museo di Leonardo; inside - the house where Leonardo was born). With me as your guide it will be easier for you to listen and follow the tour, and I'll be happy to accommodate your requests by going faster through sites that don't interest you or stopping longer to see what's more relevant to you.
