What to expect
Expect a moderate countryside walk on established paths through the hills surrounding Vinci. Your guide will point out the terrain and settlements Leonardo would have known as a child. The pace is manageable for most fitness levels, though the route isn't flat—bring decent shoes. After the walk, you'll tour his birthplace with your guide, who can speak to the local history and the man himself with real authority. The whole thing takes three hours, so you're not committing your entire day.
