Visit Ostia Antica - On 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! - The 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.

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!

Among the ancient Romans - On the occasion of the private tour of Ostia Antica, Vincenzo took us back to the times of the ancient Romans in a playful way and told us the story so vividly that we had the feeling of being right in the center of what was happening in that period. Vincenzo talks with passion and you can see that he likes his job. We learned a lot and laughed too. ;-) Thank you so much for this amazing tour and see you next time!

Archaeological Park of Ostia Antica - It was a journey back in time where Vincenzo catapulted us, enlightening us with his knowledge and explaining with his theatricality what the wonderful ancient Ostia was for Rome, from the main street (the Decumanus), to the Forum, crossing the thermal baths , the theatre, the Guild Square, the beautiful thermopolium, in short, a wonderful experience that I highly recommend to everyone.

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!
