Reviews for Private Tour Of Ostia Antica Rome’s Ancient Harbor City
Wonderful tour of Ostia

Our private tour of Ostia Antica with Francesca G was AMAZING! Ostia is beautiful and fascinating. Francesca was on time, well organized, and clearly expert on Ostia. She is also a lovely and warm person. We all learned so much, including our daughter who had been studying Ancient Rome in Italy for the past several months. We would absolutely recommend Liv Tours and Francesca!
Wonders of Ostia Antica

Marco made the ruins of this ancient harbor town come alive for us with his well-informed discussion of the site’s history, culture and architecture. Short trip from central Rome via train, gorgeous landscape, and no noisy crowds. We could not have understood the significance of this site or been able to pinpoint the best spots to visit without Marco’s guidance. Highlight of our visit to Rome!
Fascinating and first rate

Our tour around the city of Ostia Antica with Valentina was exceptional. Valentina is a first-rate guide, knowledgeable, humorous and with a deep understanding of the site which allows her to point out a host of fascinating detail in what we were seeing. We truly felt that the ancient city and its people were brought to life around us. She was also extremely kind and patient with our two young children (9 and 7) and sought to engage them by pointing out features and telling them stories they would enjoy. Highly recommended and one if the highlights of our visit to Rome.
Great private tour of Ostia Antica

We had a fabulous private tour with Barbara! She was so knowledgeable and fun, she really made it come alive. The tour started when Ostia opened first thing in the morning and we had the entire site to ourselves for almost 2 hours. More people should visit Ostia Antica and learn more about the port’s history. It’s a beautiful green space with so many ruins, statues and frescos. The regular small-group Liv tours are great, but I love doing the private tours. We’ve had only good experiences with Liv Tours.
You may not have heard of Ostia Antica, but GO anyway!

We really had no idea what to expect when we booked this tour. We knew we just wanted to get outside of Rome proper for a few hours, and this seemed like a nice option. Upon meeting Marco at the start of our tour, we knew we had made the right choice. His enthusiasm for Ostia was infectious. This is not a well- known place among tourists, but should be! We had an ancient Roman city all to ourselves! The ruins of ancient Ostia are impressive and hearing Marco’s stories brought it all to life. This was once a bustling epicenter on the coast, and we could picture it. Ask for Marco at Liv Tours on this one!
