What to expect

Experience the fascinating world of ancient Rome on this half-day tour from Rome to Ostia Antica. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, you'll explore the well-preserved ruins of an important port city that once served as the gateway to Rome.

Led by an expert English-speaking guide, you'll travel back in time to the 4th century BC and get a glimpse into what life was like in the Roman Empire. Follow the original road into the town and see the grooves left by chariot wheels. Discover the impressive amphitheater, temples, insula apartment blocks, and the bustling Forum of Corporations where goods from all over the Mediterranean were bought and sold.

Marvel at the extensive bath complex and learn about the thermodynamic systems that kept the Romans clean and refreshed. You'll also get a taste of what dining out was like in ancient Rome as you explore a perfectly preserved restaurant from 2,000 years ago. Throughout the tour, your guide will provide captivating commentary, bringing the history of Ostia Antica to life before your very eyes. You'll also have the chance to see some of the finest Roman mosaics in their original positions, including the world-famous image of Neptune driving his chariot of seahorses.
