A Trip Back In Time - We had an absolutely amazing journey traveling back in time with Vincenzo who was extremely warm and friendly, not to mention super knowledgeable. I have to say it was one of the most unique tours I've taken, and I've taken quite a few! He made you feel as if you were actually there and helped spark your imagination and hold your interest. Ostia Antica is a very overlooked and special place in terms of the things you can see there. Really great mosaics, very well preserved and absolutely huge, it's like Pompeii without the crowds! Grazie Mille Vincenzo, hope to see you again!

Real Roman life at Ostia Antica - Roberto L., our guide, was on time, enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made the city come alive for us with pictures and stories. We would recommend Roberto without hesitation. He helped us imagine the city in its prime, its impressive commercial, retail, and political sections, its traders, bakers, soldiers, shop keepers, bars and restauranteurs. Especially impressive are the mosaics, the plumbing, the multistory buildings and the city planning.

Walking around in history - Imagine you could go back until the time of ancient Rome. Imagine you could become a merchant, walking from Rome, with all your goods, all the way to the vital port city of Ostia. Imagine you could indulge in a day of baths, good food, business and chatting at the forum, shows at the theater, like you were actually there at the time, and feel clearly the presence of people, voices, smells and tastes: Vincenzo and Martina make all this happen, without effort, with their storytelling abilities and their huge knowledge of every single detail of the daily life of this city. A city that, after this visit, would have never been so alive, for you!
