Explore Ostia Antica from Rome by train in a small group, with entry, transport, and an engaging guide included.
“This was really an insightful tour into a complete Roman city ruin. Provided a very real understanding of how the Romans lived and thought. Our host Alberto provided a clear view of how The Romans lived and the history of this particular city. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to truly explore the Roman day to day experience. Family was initially skeptical of “archaeological” tour (I was quite excited) but they all found the tour enlightening and enjoyable - no regrets at all. If traveling with teenagers - maybe offer them option to continue trek after tour to go to Ostia beaches just 1-2 stops further down rail from Ostia…”

“For out of the country tourist that don’t speak the language and may be worried about the ins and outs of the train station, this is perfect! I was a little skeptical due to others reviews, but we loved every minute of it!! Our tour guide spoke great English, told us exactly what to do (and not do) through headphones, and once we arrived in Venice, guided us all the way to Saint Marcus Square showing us sights, giving history, and suggesting things to do all the way down! Then we had plenty of time on our own before meeting back up. Highly suggest if you would like to do…”
