Quiet Ancient Ruins Short Metro Ride from Rome - Wow! What a terrific half-day trip out of Rome. Uncrowded, peaceful, easily reached on the metro in 30 minutes. Rebecca was a terrific guide showing us the best Ostia Antica had to offer. The ability to see and touch this ancient site was mind-blowing. This was a port city that served the needs of Rome. Loved the many mosaics that told the story of the businesses that existed 2000 years ago.

Welcome to Rome! - What a lovely, relaxing first day in Rome with our driver, Alex. Communication began several days before our arrival, which was reassuring. The meet-up at the airport was smooth, and our trip to Ostia. Antica went without a hitch. Alex then drove us to a lovely place beside the sea in Ostia for seafood lunch. Excellent excellent. I recommend without reservation!

Great Private Day Tour From Rome To Ostia Antica - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Private Day Tour to Ostia Antica
We had an excellent private day tour to Ostia Antica. Our driver, Alex Paolini, was fantastic—prompt, professional, and friendly. He picked us up right at our apartment and made the ride comfortable and easy.
Our personal guide, Maria, was outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the ancient city to life with her stories and insights. Ostia Antica is a vast and fascinating site, and having an official local guide made all the difference. I highly recommend arranging one to truly appreciate its many intricate details.
Be prepared for a full day with plenty of walking. We were thoughtfully provided with water and cookies to keep up our energy along the way.
After exploring the ruins, we enjoyed a fabulous lunch at a waterfront restaurant, where the food, ambiance, and service were all first-rate—definitely worthy of 5 stars.
Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable day trip from Rome, filled with history, beauty, and adventure. Highly recommend!

Great day in Ostica Antiqua - Alex Paolini, our driver was excellent. He picked us up early to skip the crowds alon a busy first Sunday morning. The ancient city of Ostica is amazing, way bigger than you expect. We got the audio guides and they were very helpful.
Then Alex took us to a beautiful seaside cafe for an incredible lunch.
Great day, highly recommended and best driver ever!

Peter made this excellent! - Excellent driver! Peter went above and beyond….we needed some coffee before heading into Ostia Antica and our driver not only stopped for us to get some he paid for our coffees and some pastries what a treat! He was full of knowledge about Rome and the surrounding area and it was a pleasure learning from him. Do note that the driver doesn’t go into the park with you but you can rent on demand headsets that explain what you’re looking at. This site was far more than I expected - such remarkable preservation! And lunch by the sea was fantastic highly recommend!!! Thank you Peter!

Excellent experience! - We had an amazing experience! Alex was prompt and showed up with treats to start our journey. To visit Ostia has been a family dream. Alex was excited for us and his knowledge and expertise made each part of the trip memorable. The car was immaculate and we were riding in style. Alex picked us up early as he knew that there would be traffic and this enabled us to get there smoothly. The restaurant that was chosen was perfect and right on the water! Alex answered all of our questions with grace. Thank you Alex!

Amazing Private tour to Ostia - Alex Paolini was our fabulous driver! He was very good at communicating from before we were picked up all throughout the day! We wanted to go to Ostia which was a hidden gem! Holy cow! Pompeii is very famous however Ostia is larger and was created in 4BC. The mosaic were so beautiful. Alex coordinated everything for us. He knew Sunday would be busy so he arranged for us to go early. Then due to summer and restaurants being busy he made a reservation for us. We dined at a beautiful beachfront restaurant that had the most delicious food! The view was priceless view was priceless. Our family had a marvelous time and felt so well taken care of with Alex. Upon arrival he had delicious pastries for us. Plenty of Cold! Water and he escorted us and interpreted for us. He pays attention to the details for example he made sure our waiter spoke English. All these little things people forget about yet it make all the difference, thank you Alex for making our trip so special! Melanie

A day just outside of Rome! - Not only did we see Ostia Antica but Giuliano made sure we saw a related castle and basilica (a treasure), set us up with a great seafood lunch on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea and a second church and views of the Vatican from the Garden of Oranges. Nicely done!

Uncrowded look at history - We took a private car and tour of Ostia Antica from Rome. Our driver Paolo was very friendly and social and did a great job. He communicated with us the day before to ensure that we were connected. He also made reservations for us at a seaside restaurant for lunch. The vehicle was a Mercedes van which was very comfortable.
Our guide Paola is a PhD and expert in Roman history and Ostia Antica. She had a real sense of the history and importance of Ostia and helped us understand the connections between Ostia, Rome, and other countries in that day.
Ostia was abandoned due to malaria then looted over the many years, so the ruins are less well preserved than Pompeii which we also visited on this trip. If I could only visit one location, I would choose Pompeii because it is more complete (it is also MUCH more crowded).
If you visit either site, I recommend a guide or at least some type of audio tour or it will be difficult to appreciate the technology of that day.
