We had the best day, loved Ostia Antica and would suggest it to anyone the ruins are incredible. Have been to Pompeii and found these ruins so much better
Our tour of Ostia Antica was very memorable indeed. Caterina was an energetic and knowledgeable guide, and she explained the historical importance of Ostia very well. We were amazed at how well preserved that Ostia was, and the many mosaics were amazing. A fantastic experience!

You can recognize the cafè by the white umbrellas on the tables outside. The guides will have a City Wonders sign with the name of the tour at the meeting point for easy recognition.
