This tour can either be taken with a private driver who will pick you up at your hotel, or with transportation by train from Ostiense Station.

As it is not as well known as Pompeii, Ostia Antica doesn't suffer from the same overwhelming number of visitors.  As a result, your tour (morning or afternoon), will be a pleasant stroll with your guide who will unpick the centuries of history that surround you.  As well as explaining why the port is nowhere near the sea, your guide will also show you the wonderful Greek theater, which is still used in the summer months, the forum, the fire station, temples, taverns, houses and public toilets!
