Great experience! - The tour of Ostia Antica with Francesco was excellent! He is well versed in his history of this ancient city and his passion is evident in all the stories he tells. He was extremely knowledgeable & relayed many interesting facts about this amazing site. The option of hotel pick up was most appreciated as we had already done many walking tours around Rome. Maria was also very accommodating when we had a last minute change in our plans. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome!
I would certainly book with this company again on our next trip!

Excellent guide. Amazing site. - Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, open, and able and willing to answer our many questions. I would recommend all tourists to ask for Rominna’s help with their visit. She makes the afternoon time well spent.q

Revelation Beach of Rome.
st - In September I stayed at the Hotel Sirenetta in Rome's closest beach town of Ostia, it's only 30 minutes from center of Rome.I am a wheelchair user and was overjoyed to find the facilities so comfortable and safe.
I had a spacious comfortable room, very clean,a secure Transfer chair in shower,hand rails either side of toilet,and ramp to access garden. Staff and owner very kind and accomodating for any request, delightful retro decor
cosy and artistic. September was still beautiful weather and evening dinner was in the garden restaurant
the food was absolutely superb, worthy of a 5*. The hotel is directly opposite the beach with choice of various serviced beaches. I felt very assured, relaxed and tranquil and I'll look forward to going back again.
A true find.

Wonderful Tour - Our group of five had a wonderful 3 hour tour with Romina. She was articulate, knowledgable and friendly. The setting was beautiful, many many interesting ruins and no crowd. I highly recommend visiting Ostia. And if you get to go with Romina, all the better.

Great Tour - The tour of Ostia Antica was excellent. We were picked up at the hotel and our party of 4 were the only ones on this tour. Very comfortable car. Driver was extremely about Rome as we drove to Ostia. Once there, we were met by our guide Paola who is also an archaeologist. She was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. The site is very special, one that more visitors should take advantage of when in Rome!

Ostia Antica - Enjoyed the efficient door-to-door pick up and drop off service, and the personal attention I received from Romina, my tour guide. A very interesting morning tour, and anyone interested in Roman history will get a lot out of it.
