This was a truely special tour 25 mins out of Rome to see the remains of Ostia Antica without hordes of people. Our guide Caterina was knowledgeable and funny. Highly recommend.
Customer Service Failure
Wairimu_M
I rarely give bad reviews, because at the least I appreciate effort. I arrived to the meeting spot as listed, did not see people so I walked around to see if maybe on the other side. Pretty sure we crossed paths. Miscommunication can happen, but what should never happen when in the business of meeting people for the first time is not having a means to communicate. I reached out to he operator via Viator app, phone and text. All without success. The only response was automated "This number is for broadcast only. Your message was not read!" The exclimation mark was all them. As I didn't cancel and my contact info was accessible why didn't I get a text/call from a human saying literally anything? Nearly every adult has a phone in their pocket, to be 100% unacessible is unacceptable.The experiences sell themselves, but customer service separates tour operators.This was a fail. Additionally the directions state red umbrellas in the meet up. Likely there used to be red umbrellas, but how much effort does it take to switch out that minor detail for what don't look like brand nee white umbrellas. Bypass this operator. I took the train myself and got the audio tour all for about half the cost, save yourself money and potential stress.
Skip the lines at Pompei and visit Ostia Antica

Caterina was a very knowledgeable tour guide. She made the experience very enjoyable and the place itself is well worth the visit.
When in Rome, don't overlook this gem

Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped bring the history of this amazing place to life. Ostia Antica is a short train ride from Rome, and it doesn't draw large crowds. The sights are incredible. Check it out!
Must see !

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Rome! Do not miss it! Catrina was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and friendly, showed us all the highlights and then left us to potter around the rest of the site on our own. The tour is around 2.5 hrs but you could spend all day at Ostia there is so much to see and a lovely cafe too.
