The city of Ostia was the ancient Harbour of Rome and it was strictly related to the events that made Rome a grandious city.

This special place will even help us to understand the daily life in the ancient Roman times. We will investigate every single aspect of that age: religion, business, living, entertainment.

5.00I carried out on Easter Day with my family the guided tour of the archaeological park of Ostia Antica with Vincenzo... What about it was not a simple guided tour but a trip in which Vincenzo with his expertise and professionalism through a fascinating story allowed us to relive the atmosphere of Ostia in Roman times telling funny anecdotes, making us discover the less touristic and more interesting corners in a playful and engaging but at the same time respectful and never intrusive... We were 4 and we were all pleasantly impressed... A visit of 2 hours and a half that flew .. We will book for other visits with him definitely! Also recommended for those with children Vincenzo knows how to entertain and involve them!

5.00Without realizing it we spent two and a half hours in ancient Rome between history art stories anecdotes and games. Professionalism and lightness. An underrated site but with them is really unmissable

5.00Beautiful experience both in visiting the archaeological site and in the skilled hands of Vincenzo. Few times I meet people so friendly, interesting and you understand to teach you anecdotes about ancient Rome as he does. I hope to do more tours with Vincenzo.

Visit Ostia Antica

5.00On a wonderful April day I went to Ostia Antica with RomeGuide and a guide, Vincenzo, capable of transmitting his knowledge with a particularly empathetic system, making a visit never boring. Making us imagine being a merchant from two thousand years ago who had to buy goods to resell, using a path that would let us discover what he would have seen and what things he would have needed for his stay. Of course we were late for our appointment, because Ostia Antica has so much to show that one day is not enough. I - fortunately - am Roman and live in Rome and every year I return to the excavations of Ostia, early spring is the best time. Unfortunately I had to give up the visit to the Museum where the renovation work has not yet been completed and is still closed at this time. I will return as soon as possible. A special thanks to Vincenzo who managed to never let us get bored (which is not to be taken for granted). A day to remember with pleasure. Thank you.
A delightful day!

5.00The visit was nothing short of spectacular for the beauty of Ostia Antica but above all for the ability of the guide Vincenzo to convey a lot of information in an entertaining way and to keep the level of attention high. My daughters were also thrilled.
