My name is Roberta and I'm a Licensed Tourist Guide in the National Register of Italian Tourist Guides. I have been a tourist guide for the entire Como area since 2003. I attended summer training courses for English as a Foreign Speaker at the “Learn English” professional School in London and regularly partake in history, art & tourism conferences & courses. I was born in an amazing village overlooking Lake Como, where I live with my family. I have two teenagers who have always travelled with my husband and me. I taught them to love art and history, such as Athens with its spectacular Acropolis and the triumphant Greek art. Besides travelling, I also like reading historical novels. Personally, I believe I have the best job in the world! Because not only do I get to talk about our history, artistic heritage and traditions with simplicity and joy; I also love seeing people's eyes lighting up by the natural and artistic beauties of our lake. I love my beautiful lake with its villages scattered along the mountains, the towns along the shores, stunning hills and wild valleys. I can arrange luxury transportation in a Mercedes with a professional driver to cover all of this. Even if my calendar is full, feel free to contact me anyway for I'd still be happy to help you or provide suggestions! For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.
