We had booked Paul before we left the states. He made it very easy and was very prompt with his replies back via email. We started right on time of our 3 hour tour. He is an excellent story teller and likes to ask you lots of questions to get you involved in the story which we liked very much.... More

Even before we arrived in Florence, Paul Costa was a great help with some travel decisions, but nothing compares to the tour he tailored especially for the four of us. Along with sharing his deep knowledge of the art in the galleries and the history of the city, he was able to pace our tours so that we could see... More

Paul Costa is an amazing guide. With an extensive knowledge of history, he has the gift of being able to present the information in a fascinating way. He is a story teller, not a lecturer. He brought Florence to life for us, and his insights about The David were extraordinary. Paul is a delightful person and made our visit to... More

Learnt so much about Italy in just a few hours. Paul kept us engaged throughout the tour. Best tour guide I ever had. Except now I am going to have a problem finding another guide as good as Paul for my next holiday.

Paul Costa is an amazing tour guide. It doesn't matter whether he is talking about Michelangelo's brilliance, the Medici family's greed or why the Ponte Vecchio is still standing, he has the ability to keep you completely engaged and eager to hear the rest of the story. For three solid hours Paul keeps it current and interesting for the whole... More

If you have been researching tour guides so far, you can stop now and just book Paul. Seriously just cross one thing off your list and email him to get on the books for his tours. I am not a tour guide kind of person but I wanted to maximize our experience in Florence and not just blindly run and... More

Hiring Paul as our Florence tour guide had got to be the best decision we have made for our Italian vacation. We visited with little italian art and history knowledge and left with so many memorable experiences and inspiring stories. His passion and enthusiasm shone throughout the tour. There was never a dull moment as he was extremely engaging which... More

Paul was a great joy to have as a tour guide. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. He was able to give us not just the site information but also a history. My boys who were 12 and 13 at the time really enjoyed hearing the stories and historical facts as well as the awesome sights. If we were to... More
