Travel from Rome to Ostia Antica on a private tour and discover the ancient port city that helped connect Rome to maritime trade.

About this tour

Travel from Rome to Ostia Antica, an ancient port city whose story is closely tied to the Tiber River and Rome’s commercial growth. Once near the coast, Ostia now lies about 4 km inland as the shoreline has shifted over time.

According to ancient sources, King Anco Marcio founded Ostia as a military camp beside a natural river port. Its position helped connect Rome with maritime trade. The city’s harbor history continued under the emperors: Claudius built an artificial basin in 44 A.D., and Trajan later began construction of a port farther north. This private tour includes transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, and parking fees. An Italian-speaking live guide is listed; an English-language guide and the Ostia Antica admission ticket are not included.

Discover the history of Rome’s ancient gateway on a private journey to Ostia Antica. Book your Rome Ostia Antica private tour and explore a remarkable chapter of the city’s past.

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.
