We didn't use Paul for a tour guide, just hired a driver and van for the day. But it was perfect. The driver was flexible when we were running late (I can't promise yours will be that way too). He was always where we expected, and early.

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

My friend and I hired Paul for a 5 hour tour on our second day of our week in Florence. It was the BEST decision we made when booking our visit.

We had our day all planned out; however we missed our original train to Florence. Paul was very accommodating and we quickly rescheduled our meeting time via... More

We used Paul as a guide during our trip to Florence for our first anniversary last September. Learning about the history of the city and the Medici family and their influence over key pieces of Renaissance art held in the Uffizi was a phenomenal way to spend the day. 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. His proficiency in art history, design and architecture made for a fascinating and stimulating day. I am pleased to recommend Paul to anyone heading for the Tuscan area of Italy.

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
