Half Day Private Tour of Ostia Antica on a luxury van with an archaeologist

No other name could have been more appropriate for this city-harbor as it derives from the latin "hostis" (mouth). The settlement is in fact located close to the outfall of the river Tiber into the Tyrrhenian Sea and played an essential role for the survival of Rome. If after having watched a documentary about ancient Rome your dream is to live like an ancient roman, this is your tour! Be prepared to stroll along the Decumanus Maximus (main street), stopping to eat or for a drink to a Caupona (tavern) or to a Thermopolium (bar), to the theater for a moment of relax and entertainment, to the Square of the Guilds, a business center, to the forum, to the several public baths and the firemen barracks to discover the efficiency of the romans in preventing and extinguishing fire. This daydream, this full immersion in the past, so easy to reach, is only 19 miles far from Rome whose chaos and noise will be easily forgotten as you approach the gate of what is called the Pompei of Rome, a full immersion in the past!
