Absolutely awesome, read review
Hidden gem in comparison to famous Pompeii, this site is huge and you can explore all you want past just the tour. As far as the tour goes, it was absolutely tremendous. Rob was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor; when you think about it - all you want in a guide. Would recommend for those well versed in Roman history or just those curious on things to do in Rome.

Great tour
This was an amazing tour to do from Rome. The trip out to Ostia Antica was very easy from the city. Our tour guide was Simona, and she was extremely knowledgeable and engaging with great stories and bits of information about every part of the city. The ruins are really well preserved, and i think a guide is a huge benefit to exploring this area because it's hard to know the history of each part of the city otherwise. I would highly recommend this tour and Simona as a guide.

Ostia Antica is a place...
Ostia Antica is a place where you really need a guide to understand and enjoy the experience and Alessandra did a wonderful job for us. She pointed out some things we would not have noticed. She provided lots of detailed information. We really enjoyed our tour with her.

Excellent Experience
It was a fantastic tour, our guide Sarah was informative, friendly and knowledgeable. This is a hidden gem without the crowds of Rome. After the tour you are able to continue on your own.

Hidden Gem
This is a hidden gem. Fabio was well versed and eager to share his knowledge with everyone. Better than the Colosseum tour the day before where our tour started late and ended early for some reason .

Fascinating and informative tour with Alessandra
Great alternative to crowded Roman sights, especially for those genuinely interested in the civilization and its history.

Don’t go without a guide
Guided. Tour at Ostia Antica. So glad I booked this tour. I’d thought about looking around myself with an audio guide. This site is enormous and it would be hard to navigate yourself - you would miss the gems. Our guide Joan was brilliant with both knowledge and managing the group.

Wonderful Roman Ruins without the Crowds
A wonderful opportunity to see extensive Roman ruins without the crowds, with enlightening insights from Paola about the history, culture and architecture of the time. Wear good walking shoes, bring a shade umbrella or sunscreen and a water bottle, and enjoy!

Alex was spectacular guide; funny and knowledgeable. Be prepared to walk cobble stone (ancient Roman) roads. It is an impressive site.

Ways to explore
How to get there
When to visit

- Bring a hat, sunscreen, and water, as the archaeological park is outdoors and the area gets hot in the summer.
- Ancient Ostia is quite close to Rome, making a half-day tour an easy side trip.
- It takes about 2.5 hours to visit the archaeological park with a guide on foot, so wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
