Visiting
Tuscany means to come into contact
with one of the most famous geniuses
of all times: Leonardo da Vinci.Vinci
is the name of his birthplace. Here
you will visit the Museo di Leonardo,
a museum completely dedicated to him
right in the old castle of the town.
There you will find Leonardo's full-scale
models of machines and inventions
together with many of his drawings
and manuscript notes. Do not
forget that Vinci is a typical example
of medieval village with a
wonderful view on the valley all around.
From the town you can have a relaxing
walk on an ancient footpath
running amidst olive groves and get
to the birth house of Leonardo
- a typical 15th century Tuscan
rural dwelling. Vinci is a picturesque little
village with the real spirit of the
rural Tuscany. The visit is a good
occasion for a shopping of local goods
and specialties.
If
you like driving you can rent
a car or drive your own car to
the destination or to an agreed
meeting point.
Our tour leader can also meet
you at your premises. If your
holiday house/hotel is more than
70 kms from the premises of our
Travel Agency in Peccioli (Pisa
area) and you want to meet the
tour leader where you are staying,
please consider a 20 Eur surcharge
on the total price for the tour
leader transfer.
This
is an email we received on 16th
November 2011 from Roxanne,
who booked a private chocolate
experience and a tour to Vinci
with us.
Good
afternoon
We booked 2 days of tours with
you last November and I'm not
sure if I ever let you know
how much we enjoyed the tours-especially
Mossimo's company. We did a
day trip to the chocolate making
in San Miniato and then Vinci.
The next day we toured Pisa
and Lucca. The kids really enjoyed
the chocolate making. I have
pictures I can send if you are
interested in seeing them. Thanks
again and any time I hear of
someone traveling your way,
I recommend your company.
Roxanne
