About this tour
Walk through the quiet streets of Ostia Antica, once a thriving harbor city and one of the ancient world’s important ports. On this private Ostia Antica archaeological tour, a local guide brings the ruins to life as you explore the remains of daily life in ancient Rome’s port.
Meet your guide at the Ostia Antica ticket office, then follow old streets and alleyways through the archaeological site. Learn how the city’s ruins were uncovered after lying buried for centuries. Visit the Baths of Neptune to admire their black-and-white mosaics, then see the reconstructed theater and the forum, where residents once gathered and socialized. This 180-minute walking tour offers a close look at the city’s history and surviving landmarks. The guide is included; snacks, soda or pop, and private transportation are not.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
