About This Tour

This captivating private tour takes you through the lands that inspired Leonardo da Vinci, including his birthplace, Anchiano, and the town of Vinci, where art and history meet. You'll visit the Leonardiano Museum to see models of his machines and famous works. The journey continues with a stop at a Tuscan farm surrounded by vineyards, where you'll enjoy a wine tasting with local cold cuts. Next, you'll visit Montecatini Terme, known for its thermal waters and Liberty architecture, with the Tettuccio thermal establishment recognized as a UNESCO Heritage Site. The tour concludes with an excursion to Montecatini Alto, a Medieval village accessed by the world's oldest operating historic funicular (since 1898. Giuseppe Verdi was present at the inuguration trip). Here, you can stroll through ancient ruins, picturesque squares (where you can maybe take an ice cream break), and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding valley. How can you miss this enchanting tour through Tuscany?
