ABOUT ME

Hi there!

My name is Pamela Marchetti

I have been working in the field of tourism since I was 25 (…please don’t ask how long ago, ladies never talk about their age! 😂)

I graduated from the University of Rome with a Master’s Degree in Foreign Languages and Literature.

Consequently, I obtained my Tour Leader license, and later I became an Official Italian Tour Guide.

I worked for many years as a tour leader and guide of the cruise tours leaving from the port of Civitavecchia and gained expertise in the management of the cruise shore excursions as well as in a wide range of cruise ground services.

In 2007 I started an in-depth study of my hometown, Civitavecchia, and the surrounding territory. I fell in love with their ancient and important history, traditions (both cultural and gastronomic) and beautiful nature!

In 2012 I tailored the first Civitavecchia city tour ever.

I can still remember the exact moment when I decided to create my city tour! I was leading a group of guests during a Rome cruise shore excursion when one of them said to me that he had been told to not get off in Civitavecchia as it was a dangerous town with nothing worth the visit.

That episode saddened me, and that’s when I decided to do something that would make visitors feel welcomed while also showing the beauty of my hometown.

A few years later I cooperated with some local tour companies, and during the Pandemic I took another route. I was missing my job and my guests so much! The rhythm of life slowed down, and I had a dream: sharing the ordinary and extraordinary beauties of Civitavecchia and surrounding territories with you all, and let you have an insider glimpse with your local friend!

I opened this “Window”, and you did the rest! I thank all my clients who made it possible, chose me as their tour guide, and gave me beautiful memories with each one of them!

Thanks to my Facebook’s posts promoting the territory, and your word of mouth, I receive so many booking requests! Often, I receive multiple booking requests for the same day, and this makes me feel very happy and honored to serve you. Since I hate to have to turn down people, and I aim at your highest enjoyment and satisfaction, I trained two very nice, knowledgeable, and professional colleagues of mine on my tours, so that, shouldn’t  I be available, you may decide to book the tour with them: Valeria and Anna! They have already received very good reviews! It is a joy for me to share my tours with them: we all feel thrilled to be your ambassadors!

Thank you for reading my introduction and… are you ready to open my “Window on Italy” now???
