Hello my name is Roberta I like to invite you to a Journey on Art& Heart Do you believe a Journey can change the way you see life? Sicily is right place for you! I'm Sicilian from generations. I have been an explorer all around the world in search of the ideal journey and finally I returned home to invite the world here. I'm fully qualified experienced cultural tour guide of Sicily and my specialty is to offer tailored tour to make people feel at home thorough the discovery of my client's favorite places. I live between Palermo and Etna Volcano area, I can bring you into the tradition, culture and mysteries to let you experience the authentic Sicilian spirit and soul. Having an enthusiastic personality I love to have fun while discovering the hidden side of my own country! My passion is to tell people interesting and inspiring stories. "Anthropologists tell us that storytelling is central to human existence". My long experience in tourism and other fields of study has shaped my personality. Over the years I have become more specialized in art, theology, archaeology, traditions and genealogy. I come from a very rich and traditional society, full of values, but also full of contradictions. This was the reason why, since young age I had the urge to look at life from different perspectives. Lately I found myself pondering a questions: what is it that makes cultures or communities thrive? But I first had to ask: What is culture? Is Sicily the right place were you can find an answer? Sicily with its very distinct almost tangible atmosphere, it can be sensual, fascinating and chaotic at the same time. In Sicily you can still hear the echoes of its oriental past, taste the best street food and drink the best wine. Start to imagine amazing landscape and cities that evoke architecture of the past. Prepare to re-imagine everything you thought you knew. . . . My Mission: I love people and I like to inspire with authenticity. Just book one of my tours and do not hesitate to ask me to organize a tour according to your special interests both in the west and east side of the Region. See you soon!

Roberta, THANK YOU for a fantastic adventure in your great city Our group really appreciated and loved how you brought the ancient city to life once again. We appreciated your warmth and hospitality and sharing your decades of knowledge with our small group. We especially liked how you shared your personal perspectives! The time passed by quickly and we truly felt welcomed and we were seeing the city like a local would. When we go back we will definitely be in contact with Roberta! 😀

Roberta T. is a great guide. Her knowledge of the museums and churches in Palermo was amazing, but she also took us to a street market and we stopped at a local restaurant for lunch. She picked us up at our port and we drove to the various stops, walking when we got to the Old City where we walked through the old town, visiting the various ancient buildings, churches, etc. She pointed out various quirks in the architecture, and we learned so much that we would never have learned on a ships tour or on our own. Roberta has a great personality and was just so accommodating with our group. We will definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a greater insight to Palermo, its sights and tastes.

We enjoyed Roberta. She was friendly, knowledgeable and stayed with us the whole time (we’ve had some that dump us and say see you in an hour or two). I’d recommend her with no problem.
