Relive the Ancient Ostia: Half-Day Tour from Rome
Rome, Italy
Relive the glory of Ancient Rome with us on a guided visit to Ostia Antica in a Small Group max 12 people. Visit this once lively harbor town founded in the 4th century BC. Ancient Ostia is commonly referred to as “The Better Pompeii” due to the astonishing preservation of its buildings. You will stroll through ancient taverns, baths, apartments, groceries and theatres and their present condition so strikingly exceeds that of the Roman Forum, Imperial Forum and Pompeii, that it seems a misnomer to call them ‘ruins’.
