Each of them has specific themes and very detailed knowledge of particular areas of the Taro and Ceno valleys, even if they all have wide transversal knowledge on the popularization disciplines typical of environmental excursion guides (naturalistic, geological, historical, anthropological, etc ...) and on larger territories.
