Private Ostia Antica Tour Reviews

Truly Felt Like Time Travel

The most unique part of our trip to Rome. No crowds, just us, our guide Davide, and an ancient city frozen in time. Exploring the bakery and forum was my favorite part—it felt like meeting Romans face to face.

Quiet and Beautiful

Walking through Ostia Antica felt like stepping into a peaceful open-air museum. Elena guided us through the forum and temples, pointing out details we’d have missed. A lovely, memorable experience.

Surprising Depth of History

I thought it would be a small site, but Ostia Antica is expansive. Chiara explained the importance of the grain trade and how this city kept Rome fed. A fascinating look into the Roman Empire’s backbone.

Our Kids’ Favorite Tour

After days of art galleries, our kids finally perked up here! They loved running around the old theater and pretending to be performers. Giulia was so kind and patient, really making the tour enjoyable for the whole family.

Great Value and Experience

We couldn’t believe how much we got out of three hours. The mosaics in the Baths of Neptune alone were worth the trip. Our guide, Marco, made sure we didn’t miss anything important.

Best Use of a Morning

We had just three hours here, but LivTours and Luca made every minute count. From the grand forum to the tiny details of ancient latrines, we saw how Romans lived their daily lives. Couldn’t recommend more.

Intriguing and Well Guided

Our guide Chiara struck the perfect balance of historical detail and entertaining storytelling. Standing in the amphitheater and imagining the 3,500 spectators really stuck with me. A great tour for anyone curious about real Roman life.

Uncrowded and Authentic

It felt like we had the place nearly to ourselves. Davide showed us the mosaic floors and the Square of the Corporations, which illustrated the city’s commercial power. Truly one of the most authentic historical sites I’ve seen.

From Ruins to the Seaside

We loved that after the tour, we could head to Ostia Lido beach with our guide’s directions. The contrast of ruins in the morning and beach in the afternoon was wonderful. Thanks to LivTours for arranging such a smooth experience.

Captivating for History Lovers

If you’re a history buff, this tour is a must. The baths, amphitheater, and necropolis all felt incredibly vivid. Elena answered every one of my endless questions with patience and enthusiasm.
