About this tour

Step beyond Rome’s busy streets and explore Ostia Antica, a remarkably preserved harbor town founded in the 4th century BC. On this private Rome Ostia Antica archaeology and history tour, a professional local guide brings the ancient city’s everyday life into focus, from its lively markets to its public baths and theaters.

Walk along the Decumanus Maximus and discover the remains of taverns, apartments, and gathering places.

Your ticket to the excavations and air-conditioned minivan transfer are included, while a private guide offers a more personal way to explore the site. Hotel pickup and drop-off are available in central Rome, inside the Aurelian Walls.

Allow four hours for the experience, including a three-hour guided visit. Wear comfortable shoes, share your accommodation and international phone details, and call the provider the day before to confirm pickup.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1. Top 48% in Rome means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in Rome by this score.
