This tour takes you out of the city and brings you back into time. It's beautiful, and the tour guide was awesome. She really knew her history.

We had a great time. The guide was very informative during the ride to Ostia, pointing out various points of interest along the way. While at the site, he hit the most interesting areas with explanations of what the area was like during Roman times and what the various buildings were used for. A great trip with a very friendly guide.

This was a wonderful opportunity to connect to ancient Rome off the beaten track. Our tour guide did a fantastic job bringing the past to life. A highlight was the sarcophagus in the museum that had only been unearthed two weeks before and looked brand new even though it was close to 2000 years old. Our guide made sure we saw it.

The tour left promptly. We never felt rushed and the transportation was very comfortable. Our tour guide was very fluent in several languages, and was extremely knowledgeable not only about the ruins but history in general. He had a wonderful sense of humor and his enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone in the group. The ruins were both beautiful and fascinating and, although they were not on the scale of Pompeii, they were very definitely worth seeing. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We have taken many tours in many countries, including Italy, and this one rates as one of the best.
