Martha was all we wanted from a guide
Inirontas
We visited Rome on December (two couples with three young children of 5 & 6 years). Our Vatican tour with Martha was very enjoyable. Martha is a mother herself and knew the right proportions of information and moving us around so that also our kids loved touring with her. Definitely recommended. Thank you Martha!
Excellent guide and fascinating ruins close to Rome

Walking through Ostia with our archaeologist/guide was amazing! The site is very large, wasn't too crowded and our excellent guide created a wonderful impression of ancient life in this important port city. Beautiful black and white mosaics all around, and easy access from Rome.
Amazing tour with Ostia Tours

I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour of Ostia Antica with Paola through Ostia Tours. My entire experience with Ostia Tours was excellent. Deborah responded immediately to my tour request by email, and setting up the tour was easy. I met my tour guide, Paola, an archaeologist, at the entrance to the archaeological park. (Ostia is close to Rome and easy to get to by train, though Ostia Tours can also arrange for transportation by car if requested.) Paola was a wonderful guide - she was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and I had a great time learning about the history of the area. The ruins are very impressive and extensive, and it was very rewarding to be able to tour them with such a knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend visiting this amazing site through Ostia Tours.
AMAZING!!

This was the highlight of our trip to Italy to visit all the ruins. Laura, our guide, was so enthusiastic and filled with knowledge we all felt we were walking this well-preserved site 2500 years ago. She was amazing and Ostia was the best site in six visits to Italy. Ask for Laura as your guide and get ready for the best tour of your life! Trust me and just go...
Ruins rival Pompeii!
