A Fantastic Day in Every way

Lindsay_B, Oct 2023

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

Susan_S, Sep 2023

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!

Dissatisfied

Staci_C, Jan 2023

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.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear Stacy, thank you for your review which will help us to improve our tour. You were disappointed in some parts of our experience but without reason. In fact our drivers, like Stefano, who you really enjoyed, are experienced tour leaders, but not tour guides, that's why Stefano couldn't guide you through the museum. Leonardo has such a complex personality that you can't discover in a single trip, you need time so we invite you to come back one day and see what else Florence has to offer regarding this genius. Best regards, ACCORD Team

Great experience

Francis A, Nov 2019

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.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Thank you for rating your experience with us 5 stars, that's what we always hope to have from our customers! Your satisfaction is our prize and of course our priority! Glad you enjoyed and made the right choice of booking with us! We hope to welcome you again in Tuscany!

This was absolutely the highlight of...

Teresa D, Jul 2017

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!
