Valentina gave us a great tour of the Leonardo da Vinci museum and the Uffizi. Be aware there is a lot of walking. She was a true expert on da Vinci and the history of Florence. There was confusion on the opening time of the da Vinci museum and that cost us to be time pressured in the Uffizzi. She was great!

Guide was amazing but listing says this is a 2 hour tour. It’s more like 5 hours. We didn’t even get to Uffizi until 2.5 hours into the tour. Need to update your listing because when people are with kids, having the listing be off by double is unacceptable.
Valentina was truly a historian. Her knowledge of the subjects made our tour be the best we did in Italy We night recommend her.
Valentina was the perfect guide. She was a local, so was able to give us that perspective. She was extremely knowledgeable. I’d definitely book again!
Val was wonderful. Gave us a nice history of city as we walked along. Loved art and knew it inside and out. Told us interesting details of pieces of art we had not heard of before Very considerate. When we had a few minutes suggesting we take break for coffee
I had to cancel my excursion to the Uffizi Gallery due to a fall on the ship & transportation from La. Spezia was over two hours away. I could not talk to anyone even though I emailed them & tried their customer service number!No way of communicating!! So if you have to cancel - good luck !!!!
Antonio was a wonderful tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about all of Florence and its thousands of works of art . He also was very knowledgeable about restaurants and the best places to eat. Our tour was wonderful. The only problem we experienced was waiting in very long lines at the museum. Thanks for everything, Antonio.
Antonio is as a great and passionate guide. He loved what he was doing and it was obvious in his delivery of the tour. He gave us wonderful insight on the artists and focused on details easily missed in the artworks. A well worth tour
Aldo was a phenomenal guide, so passionate about Leonardo da Vinci and everything in Florence. We learned so much and wish we had more time together!
Antonio was an absolute brilliant tour guide. His knowledge of Florence is amazing and was keen to show us extra things that were not part of the tour. I’d highly recommend this tour. We were part of a group of 4, so felt very personal and all the questions we asked were answered fully. Great tour
Really interesting tour!! Antonio is a fantastic guide... He knows lots of secret corners of Florence! Art, culture and fun at the same time!!
Antonio was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who took the time to explain the history and the background as well as showing us some of his favourite parts of the city we would otherwise never have seen. We learnt a lot about Leonardo, especially his amazing technical abilities, as well as his particular painting style, which we had not previously understood. We also learnt lots about Michelangelo and the other great artists of the time. It was so good to have someone explain and interpret the fantastic works of art we saw.
I have been to Florence with a friend for a weekend city trip and we decided to book a tour to visit the Uffizi Gallery. There are plenty of tours online offering this type of tour but we were intrigued by this one in particular because of the Leonardo Da Vinci's connection. Our guide Antonio made us travel in time during these few hours and the best part of the tour was the visit at the Uffizi to marvel at Leonardo's three paintings (and so much more). Antonio is so passionate about the history and the art of the Reinassance that he made us fall in love with Florence. Grazie Antonio.
I've been to Florence probably six or seven times but was traveling for this visit with a teenager/first-timer to Italy. This incredibly informative and fun tour was great for both of us. Our guide, Antonio, is a true expert and so kind. I was worried about a group slowing us down but it turned out to just be two of us plus Antonio, which was great luck for us and really made for a tailored experience (and honestly even with a group I know Antonio would be efficient!). I really liked the tour's focus on one artist (Leonardo da Vinci) and I had never been to the Leonardo museum - you can always learn something new in Italy if you have a fantastic guide like Antonio. Having his assistance to get into the Uffizi was also totally worth it, and he even offered to stand in line and hold our place while we zipped off to get some photos. Also great - having him lead us directly to Leonardo's paintings in the Uffizi, and then we were free to explore the museum as we wished on our own. Antonio shared so much helpful knowledge with us on this tour, including restaurant and other recommendations, and even some notes for Rome. I highly recommend taking a tour with Antonio while you are in Florence!
We had the chance not only to visit Florence, but also to learn more about the Renaissance and Leonardo. Antonio is a great guide: he was able to captivate the visitors by asking questions and highlighting the most important details of Leonardo's works at the Uffizi gallery. Now I can see these masterpieces in a totally new way. Amazing!
Aldo was extremely knowledgeable and very flexible on the day allowing us more time in areas when needed. We could ask almost any question and he knew the answer, he was very well prepared which made the day move very smoothly.
Great tour. Antonio is very knowledgeable and passionate both about the city and Leonardo.His introduction to Uffizi and explanation of Leonardo's work was brilliant. After the tour ended, he gave me tips on what to focus on in the museum ( as otherwise it would have overwhelming) as well as general tips about how to enjoy Florence. I really enjoyed it all!
The Leonardo Da Vinci Tour was amazing! Our guide Antonio was very knowledable and told us a lot of not so well known things that really enriched the experience. He was funny and always happy to help with any questions we had. In the end he gave us a full list of places to go and visit, which was super helpful for the rest of my stay. The tour is a good mix of history and exploring the city. I enjoyed Leonardo Da Vinci Interactive Museum where we could try out a lot of Da Vinic's inventions. The visit to the Uffizi Gallery was amazing as well, were Antonio explained us a lot of very interesting things about the most famous paintings of Da Vinci and als Boticelli, since we had time to look at a bit more in the musuem. It was really a great tour and can't recommend it enough!
The incredible attention to detail and knowledge of the area and history that our guide gave us along the way. The tour will be the highlight of our trip and we did several tours. Antonio is a very special person and anyone would be lucky to spend time on a tour with him.
It was a great tour! Antonio, was awesome, so knowledgeable and fun! Now I'm an even bigger fan of Leonardo! I enjoyed the interactive museum, super cool!
This tour was an amazing experience! Our guide Antonio was so friendly and showed us Leonardo da Vinci's masterpieces at the Uffizi Gallery and shared interesting stories about his art and inventions. We learned about his early years in Florence and his incredible innovations. The visit to the Leonardo da Vinci museum was a great way to end the tour. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about Leonardo's genius!
I recently joined a tour in Florence that was an absolute delight. Our journey began at the incredible Leonardo da Vinci Interactive Museum, where hands-on exhibits brought da Vinci's inventions to life. The highlight, however, was the visit to the Uffizi Gallery's Leonardo Room. Our guide, Antonio, was both knowledgeable and hilarious, making complex art history easily digestible and thoroughly entertaining. He expertly explained "The Baptism of Christ," "The Adoration of the Magi," and "The Annunciation," enriching our appreciation for these masterpieces. Antonio's tips on where to enjoy the best food, music, and drinks in Florence were invaluable, encapsulated in his amusing "Codex of Antonio." A tour not to be missed!
The Leonardo da Vinci Walking Tour in Florence is a captivating journey through the heart of Renaissance genius. We went to the Leonardo Interactive Museum, and visitors are immediately immersed in da Vinci's innovative mind. The tour meanders through Santa Trinita Square and Santa Maria del Fiore Square, where the grandeur of Florence's architecture unfolds and there are few Leonardo secrets.. Antonio, our guide, was a highlight—his humor and extensive knowledge made the tour both enlightening and entertaining. He shared "The Codex of Antonio," a treasure trove of Florence's best spots for food, music, and local venues. The tour culminates at the Uffizi Museum, standing in awe of Leonardo's masterpieces. This experience is a must for any art and history lover.
I really love Florence and its art and history. I suggested this tour to my bride to be friend. Museo degli Uffizi is a must and choosing a guided tour with LetzGo City Tours Florence was the best idea to know more about this amazing city. Very well organized experience and very professional guide. Antonio provided us with detailed explanations and insights both at Uffizi Museum and Leonardo Interactive Museum. This one especially left us with much more curiosity about all the inventions and Leonardo da Vinci Genius. We would like to know more about Florence and hopefully book another tour with Antonio soon. Thank you!
Very enjoyable tour, Antonio is a great guide who made us all feel welcome . He was both knowledgeable and funny, always a great combo in a guide.
Our experience on the Leonardo tour in Florence was absolutely fantastic. The tour's focus on Leonardo da Vinci's legacy made it a deeply enriching journey through Florence's Renaissance treasures.

The highlight of our tour was definitely the Leonardo da Vinci Interactive Museum, a treasure trove of Leonardo's inventions and scientific insights. We delved into Leonardo's visionary mind, discovering his inventions like the Dream of Flight, War Machines, and the Vitruvian Man. Each invention was accompanied by fascinating commentary that bridged the gap between past and present. The tour seamlessly wove in stories about Leonardo's life in Vinci and his formative years in Florence. The enthusiasm for art history made the tour not only educational but also engaging and fun. As we explored Florence's cultural riches, the guidance ensured a smooth and enriching experience, allowing us to appreciate Leonardo's contributions to art and science in a profound way.

Thanks, Antonio, for a truly unforgettable exploration of Leonardo da Vinci's Florence.
I booked this tour in Florence with my partner as we wanted to discover a bit more about Leonardo Da Vinci and we were curious about the Interactive Museum. The tour was very interesting and our guide Antonio very prepared on the historical part and also full of stories to share about Leonardo and his forever "enemy" Michelangelo! The group was not too big and this gave us the chance to get the guide's full attention and dedication. The interactive Museum is a little hidden gem and the fact that you can actually test each machine makes it even more interesting, it is perfect for adults as well as children and teenagers. We concluded the visit at the Uffizi: Antonio gave us a great explanation of 3 very famous Leonardo's paintings, showed us also 2 Botticelli's famous paintings and then left us to explore the rest of the huge museum at our own pace. It was a great experience, well worth the price and we could not recommend Antonio more since he is truly loving the job he does and delivers an unforgettable experience.
As a solo traveler, joining Antonio's tour was an excellent choice. His deep knowledge and enthusiasm brought Leonardo Da Vinci's legacy to life.

Simply unique Museums with paintings that you see in art books
We did the tour of “Leonardo” - Leonardo Interactive Museum and Uffizi Gallery - with the guide Antonio that we absolutely recommend.
