Firstly, I extend my gratitude to our exceptional tour guide Rob, through whom I engaged with, acquired knowledge, and experienced this segment of Rome's history! This tour was outstanding from start to finish! I enjoyed traveling by rail and experiencing Italy —specifically, regions I would not have visited independently! Due to Rob's extensive knowledge, artistic disposition, and excentional narrative skills. I have gained significant insights. Kindly arrange for the booking of this tour.

Join a small group and an English-speaking guide such as Rob, Cat, Alberto, or Laura for a four-hour visit to Ostia Antica. Ride the train from Piramide, walk through Roman streets, see baths, mosaics, shops, toilets, and an amphitheater, then stay for the museum, modern Ostia, or the beach.

“I cannot recommend this tour enough!! Our tour guide, Catarina, was incredible. Our family of 7 were the only people on the tour, and we had the Ostia Antica ruins mostly to ourselves - most tourists overlook this area. We went to the beach after the tour as well. This tour was easily one of the highlights of our Italy trip, and the friendliest tour guide by far!!”
