Cosa dire di Roberta? La guida che ama la sua terra e lo sa trasmettere a chi la ascolta. Grazie a lei ho scoperto tanto sulla mia citta' e finora non sapevo. Prepatata, colta, e con una grande passione per il suo lavoro. Gentile, disponibile e sempre con il sorriso. Anche per me 10+.

Se dovessi trovare una definizione per Roberta la chiamerei "guida esperienziale" per la sua capacità di farti rivivere il periodo storico oggetto dell'escursione con aneddoti, curiosità, leggende. Preparatissima e appassionata, prima o poi riuscirò a trovare una domanda a cui non ha risposta! Perfetta per chi non si accontenta di un paio di date e qualche notizia letta sui libri.
