About this tour

Step into the daily life of ancient Rome on a private Ostia archaeological tour led by a PhD archaeologist. Rather than simply viewing ruins, you’ll explore the ancient harbor city with an expert who can bring its history and setting to life.

Travel to and from the site in a private car or van, then discover Ostia Antica on foot. Your guide can tailor the visit to your interests, while skip-the-line access helps you spend more time exploring and less time waiting. The car accommodates up to 3 people, and the van up to 7. A flexible start time makes it easier to fit the outing into your schedule; headsets are provided for groups of 6 or more.

Choose this Ostia private archaeological tour for a personal, expert-led look at one of ancient Rome’s harbor cities. Book your visit and explore the site at your own pace with a specialist guide.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.87 from 15 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 7.3. Top 35% in Rome means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Rome by this score.
