About LivItaly’s Ostia Antica Tour | Small Group Tour from Rome

Your guide will meet you in front of the entrance to the archaeological park, which is a quick ride away by train from Rome city center. To get there, you have just to take the Roma Lido train at the Metro B Piramide stop and get off at the 7^th stop called “Ostia Antica”. Cross the pedestrian bridge, follow the sign and you will be there, ready to time-traveling together with your LivItaly expert guide! Once you arrive to the ancient ruins of Ostia Antica, you will be met with privileged skip-the-line access and be guided directly in to start your ancient journey.

Your expert guide will take you to some of the highlights of Ostia Antica which include the Baths of Neptune, home to an impeccably preserved ancient mosaic of Neptune, the god of the sea; the Forum of the Corporations, the center of commerce and trade for the Roman Empire during the reign of Emperor Augustus; the Ostia Antica Amphitheater which at one time held 3,500 spectators; and much more. Your guide will paint the picture of how advanced the Roman Empire was in terms of commerce as well as engineering, with a look at ancient storefronts, complex hot and cold running water system, communal latrines designated “housing complexes”. This Ostia Antica Tour will give you a good idea of just how important the Roman Empire’s contributions were to modern day life.

Why Book LivItaly’s Ostia Antica Tour | Small Group Tour from Rome

Most travelers to Rome get to know the extraordinary story of the Roman Empire, and the Ostia Antica Tour gives you a deeper look into the network which helped this empire grow. Ostia Antica was once the most important trade city of the Roman Empire feeding over a million Romans with its goods. It is now one of the most impeccably preserved ancient Roman cities, critical in understanding ancient life and commerce which date back as far as 600BC. This is an archaeological wonder just outside of Rome which simply cannot be missed.

Take a Visit to Nearby Ostia Lido

Guests of LivItaly’s Ostia Antica Tour are welcome to stay on and explore the ruins on their own when the tour is done or use their train tickets to continue a few stops further along the train line to visit Rome’s seaside Ostia Lido. Guides will give you all the necessary information such as train times and directions so that you get back to Rome when you prefer.

*In order to book this experience, you need to be at least 2 participants.

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY
When you book a LivItaly Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together. On that same note, you may find yourself on tour with less than six people. As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
