FULL DESCRIPTION

Step away from the crowds of the city center and dive into the daily life of Ancient Rome with a private 4-hour tour of Ostia Antica, the harbor city of ancient Rome.

Your experience begins with private pick-up in Rome by a professional driver and vehicle. You’ll arrive at one of Italy’s most fascinating archaeological sites, often described as a smaller, more intimate Pompeii—without the crowds.

Your private, licensed guide will lead you through remarkably preserved ruins, including communal baths with mosaics, ancient apartment blocks (insulae), a bakery with its original oven, a large Roman theater, temples, and even public toilets. You’ll walk along the ancient Decumanus Maximus, once the main road of this bustling port town.

As you explore, your guide will vividly reconstruct the daily rhythms of Roman life—how people worked, worshipped, and relaxed in this once-thriving commercial hub.

At the end of the visit, your driver will take you comfortably back to your accommodation in Rome.
