After graduation I worked on wildlife projects with the University of Catania always striving to combine my professional career with my true passion, show my beautiful and beloved country to all people who came here and sought authentic and local experience of Sicily and Catania. Step by step I started to work as a tour guide for several local companies. I put a special attention in selecting the best locations, from historic landmark buildings, from the main towns to the unique countryside locations and natural local beauties. So It's very complicated for me to tell you what's my favorite tour, cause all of theme are very unique. My tours stimulate all the senses, from the sight of natural and landscape beauties to the flavors and smells of cities and countryside. My land is rich of stories dating back from the distant mists of time and due to the different dominations that took place in different stages of our journey through time. So what else can I say? I can't wait to take you to discover my wonderful world. Don't hesitate to contact me to create your unique tour in my beautiful island.

Thanks for your warm words. It was a pleasure to have you with me and I'm happy everything was fine. You are a spectacular and joyful family. I truly enjoyed listening to Dad Jim's stories and the emotion he showed in telling the story of his family from its origins. Waiting for the others Tornatore back to Sicily.

We really looked forward to the tour with Roberto. From the reviews we expected something very different than what we received. Roberto was very friendly & he has a lot of history in Catania. However, the tour was very loose and not well planned. He seemed to rely a lot on his personality and memories of his younger years. He had sights in mind to show us but it felt...

Roberto was knowledgeable, likable, flexible and always helpful. We were very lucky to have him as our guide. He took us not only to the major sites in Catania, but also to the villages where his family lives. A very nice tour.

Roberto was a great tour guide and he really loves his country and the history that makes it such a great place to visit. Learning about the geology and history of Mt Edna provided by Roberto was very interesting. And finally, the advantage of having a local tour guide cannot be over exaggerated, especially when he or she brings you to a local bakery or winery to taste...
