About this tour

Step into the streets of ancient Rome at Ostia Antica, where weathered ruins and greenery bring everyday life from centuries past into view. This private 3-hour Ostia Antica Daily Life Tour explores a remarkable archaeological site spanning about 50 hectares.

Founded, according to tradition, by King Anco Marzio, Ostia served as Rome’s first colony and port at the mouth of the Tiber. Walk through the remains of the ancient settlement and see its grand Augustan-era theater, the Baths of Neptune with their mythological mosaics, and the imposing Capitolium overlooking the Forum. Along the way, discover the insulae and tabernae that offer a glimpse into how Romans lived and worked across eight centuries.

With a guide leading the visit, the layers of this historic port become easier to picture as you move among its monuments and quieter corners. Meet at the excavation ticket office and experience Ostia Antica at a thoughtful pace. Choose this Ostia Antica Daily Life Tour to connect the city’s striking ruins with the people who once called them home.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.92 from 60 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • 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: this tour scores 8.0. Top 13% in Rome means it ranks in the top 13% of tours in Rome by this score.
