Premier Ostia Antica - Port of Ancient Rome

Your unforgettable journey begins with a convenient pickup from your chosen location by your expert guide, who will escort you to the extraordinary archaeological treasure of Ostia Antica. Once ancient Rome’s principal port—founded by King Ancus Marcius in the 7th century BC—Ostia now rests quietly 30 km outside the modern city. Often described as “Rome’s Pompeii,” this vast and remarkably preserved site offers an immersive glimpse into everyday Roman life without the crowds. As you stroll through abandoned streets, theaters, shops, bathhouses, and villas, it feels as though the ancient world lies not buried, but gently waiting to be rediscovered.

Upon entering the site, you will explore its serene necropolis before following the main street lined with mosaicked bath complexes, bustling ancient storefronts, and elegant residential villas that once hosted Rome’s elite. Marvel at the impressive theatre—still standing after centuries—which once welcomed over 3,000 spectators. Throughout the tour, you will encounter statues, temples, frescoes, and mosaics that reveal the luxury, culture, and rhythm of life in this once-thriving port city. After the visit, your driver will return you comfortably to your hotel or preferred drop-off point in Rome, with your guide ready to offer personalized recommendations to enhance the rest of your stay.
