My wife and I hired Paul for a morning tour in Florence and rank it as the best tour we have ever taken. We are not "tour people" and usually prefer to explore and find our own way but having Paul is like being shown part of Italy with a family friend. He engages his clients and is extremely knowledgeable,... More

Paul was stupendous!. I have visited Florence many times but never with teenagers. Paul took my two sons on a cultural journey they will never forget. They can quote Medici facts, Galileo stories and the history of banking in Florence. They also loved everyone of Paul's restaurant picks. We walked by loads of teenager tour groups and saw nothing but... More

We also used Tuscan Tour Guide for a day in Tuscany... More

Paul Costa of “Tuscan Tour Guide” provided a very comprehensive and professional guided tour of Florence, Italy, in May/12.

My wife and I have had Paul as a guide on two occasions - the first as part of a cruise and the second, just the two of us because of our experience on the first tour. Both times were educational, engaging and interesting. If you can book Paul, do it. Paul's 'style' is not dry. Paul has two masters... More

This was a phenomenal way to see Florence, and learn the history of the city. Paul was incredibly energetic, knowledgeable and fun to be around. The tour was 2.5 hours and included the David, Ponte Vecchio and Duomo. Paul's charisma and passion for history made the tour one of the very best!
