Fabulous Tour Experience

We were a party of six & were very happy with this tour of Ostia Antica! It was such a convenience to be picked up at our hotel! The driver & tour guide were very kind & took care of everything we needed. Our guide, Michele, was super knowledgeable & shared interesting facts about everything we saw. He even answered general questions about Rome & Italy. At the end of our tour, we asked about a good pizza restaurant & they dropped us off at the recommended eatery. The food was delicious! If you are looking for convenience & a wealth of knowledge, this outing is the way to go!
