Absolutely phenomenal. We have been in Italy for a week and this was the best tour we have taken. The ruins of the ancient port were in remarkable condition (much better than the Colosseum) and our guide Laura was so knowledgeable and spent time answering questions and giving deep insights. Please keep up the fantastic work!
Ostia Antica itself was well worth visiting, and our guide Laura brought it to life for us. Highly recommended.
This is a hidden gem. Fabio was well versed and eager to share his knowledge with everyone. Better than the Colosseum tour the day before where our tour started late and ended early for some reason .
