Wonderful Experience in an Ancient City

Very informative tour through ancient Ostia! We had beautiful weather and our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, ready to answer any and all questions. Make sure to bring walking shoes as Ostia is big and beautiful and it's fun to 'get lost' there after the tour!

Not to be missed a tour of Ostia. Antica with Rebecca

Rebecca was an outstanding tour guide of Ostia Antica. She was extremely knowledgeable and took us amazing out of the stops to view wonderful mosaics. She kept me informed as to the meeting point as we already staying at hotel near the site and did not need to go into Rome to meet the tour, an extra benefit of booking with her. I would highly recommend her for any tours in the Rome area and would absolutely book with her again. Pat Carr
