What to expect

Experience the grandeur of Ancient Rome with a guided tour to Ostia Antica, a bustling harbour town established in the 4th century BC. Often referred to as "Superior to Pompeii", Ostia Antica's astonishingly well-preserved buildings are sure to captivate you.

As you wander through ancient taverns, baths, residences, markets and theatres, you'll be amazed at how their current state surpasses even that of the Roman Forum. As you amble along the main thoroughfare, the Decumanus Maximus, your guide will regale you with enthralling tales. The perfectly preserved Roman statues adorning the pathways will transport you back in time, making you feel as if you're strolling amongst the ancient Romans themselves!

You might even be tempted to take a plunge in the Baths of Neptune, topped by an impressively intact mosaic depicting the Sea God in a chariot pulled by seahorses. So don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the heart of Ancient Ostia for a truly authentic Roman experience.
