Full description This tour offers a blend of history, culture, and relaxation, creating a comprehensive experience that will make you feel like you have traveled back in time. During the leisurely journey back to Rome, you can reflect on this fantastic experience and carry the memories of an extraordinary day in ancient Ostia

Explore Ancient Rome through an experiential journey to the marvelous Ruins of Ostia Antica, all-inclusive with convenient round-trip transportation from Rome. Our tour goes beyond a mere guided visit; it is a complete immersion into ancient Roman history with every detail crafted to make your experience unforgettable. The tour begins with a direct pickup from your hotel (or a convenient meeting point if your hotel is not centrally located). In about 45 minutes drive on comfortable and air-conditioned vehicle, you will reach the Ostia Antica ruins. During the journey, relax and enjoy the scenery without worrying about logistical details.

Upon arrival at the ruins, you will meet the local guide, and after entry procedures, find yourself unknowingly in the largest archaeological complex in Europe, home to an ancient Roman port that played a vital role in the Roman Empire. Start your visit by strolling along the ancient paved streets of Ostia Antica. The polished stones beneath your feet tell centuries-old tales of trade, merchants, and travelers who once populated this area. The expert guide will lead you through the ancient city, unveiling details and curiosities that transform each stone into a piece of the grand mosaic of Roman history. The buildings of Ostia Antica stand as testaments to Roman architectural genius. Enter well-preserved houses, admire intricate mosaics, and discover how the inhabitants of this port city lived. It will be like traveling through time as the streets come to life with the voices and daily activities of a bygone era.

One of the most significant architectural gems of Ostia Antica is its Roman Theater, a place that combines the grandeur of Roman architecture with the magic of classical entertainment. Located in the city center, the theater is a focal point for the modern tourist, just as it was for Roman spectators in ancient times. Imagine sitting among the ancient ruins of the theater and contemplating the same view that entertained Romans centuries ago. During the visit to the Roman Theater, you will not only admire its grandeur but also sense the vibrant atmosphere that once pervaded this place. It is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Roman entertainment and appreciate the crucial role the theater played in the daily life of Ostia Antica.

After exploring the ruins, we will move on to the picturesque village of Ostia, where time seems to have stood still. Discover narrow cobbled streets, charming squares, and colorful houses that tell the story of this fascinating medieval village. Here, we will also stop for a refreshing drink, creating the perfect moment to relax, share impressions about the tour, and unwind in a unique atmosphere.
