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!

Overview of your Palermo tour

The tour of Monreale provides full immersion in the history and culture of its enchanted places full of fascinating legends. As a child I was told that this place was a king's church. I was fascinated by all the gold that glistened, I remember my eyes sparkled with joy. I want to share my passion, stories and 30 years of experience as a guide with you. Set at about 300 meters above sea level, the town overlooks the "Conca d'Oro", as the valley beyond Palermo is known. No extended visit of Palermo is truly complete without a visit to Monreale. The cathedral represents the largest concentration of Norman, Arab and Byzantine art in one place. Panoramic tour in Palermo including photo stops at Porta Nuova, Cathedral and Massimo Opera house. We will visit a traditional old open market and enjoy a light lunch in the best venue of traditional street food to discover the most famous arancini, cannoli, panelle! Join me! You'll love this tour!

Roberta was great! We had a tour of Palermo of just over 4 hours. My wife and I knew we wanted to see mosaics. We toured Monreale and the Martorana both of which were stunning and both of which I would highly recommend. Roberta explained many things about the history and was a very knowledgeable guide. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

We had an outstanding tour of Monreale and Palermo with Roberta. She is an excellent and knowledgeable communicator. Roberta was able to temper the tour to meet my husband’s limitations. Her presentation was understandable with enough detail not to overwhelm us. Highlights of the tour were a visit to the magnificent Cathedral Santa Maria, a drive through the older part of the city and a delicious lunch at the open air market. We were very happy with our tour and feel that we have a good perspective of Palermo. Thank you Roberta!

Roberta was a terrific guide. Ahead of our visit, she listened to what we were interested in seeing and created a custom itinerary for us. We had a wonderful day with her, visiting Monreale and the principal sights in Palermo. Roberta gave showed us around, gave us an enormous amount of historical background, and also a good sense of where Palermo is today. Highly recommend her!

Roberta is an excellent guide who showed us the highlights of Monreale and Palermo. She communicated in a friendly manner and was able to accommodate our particular needs. We enjoyed having an expresso with her and experienced the local handmade sweets as well as the hustle and bustle of the local street market. The Cathedral Monreale was an amazing experience enhanced by Roberta's commentary of the history and background of the building. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and we highly recommend Roberta.
