Ostia was crucial for the trade between Rome and the rest of the Empire. Ships, sailors, merchants came back and forth storing their goods in large warehouses located by the docks.
Ostia was rich of mosaics, statues, frescoed houses. We will visit the museum also that contains precious pieces of art found during the excavations.
Ostia is one of the largest excavated Ancient cities in the world. It used to be the main seaport of the Roman Empire, the gateway to Rome for the grains, the marble and other important products that were imported by sea from Egypt, Spain and other rich provinces.
You must visit Ostia at least once in a lifetime because it is like jumping back in time to see how the Romans lived.
The streets, the shops, the temples, the facilities, the commercial and political buildings of Ostia are still very well preserved due to the fact that the city had been covered by silt and sand for centuries before being excavated.
We will see a spectacular original 2nd century theatre still in use. We will explore the thermal baths and amazingly intact public toilets! We will walk into an Ancient restaurant, a laundry, a warehouse to see authentic wine and olive oil containers that are 2000 years old.

Although you can visit Ostia Antica yourself, taking a private tour is much better to avoid wasting your time and to visit the most important things. The archaeological site is vast and much less crowded with tourists than Pompeii. Our tour guide, Francesca was great, very knowledgable and funny. We will absolutely sugget this tour to our friends!
