    This was an interesting site, but I don't feel that Ostia Antica lives up to the hype that it claims to be better than Pompeii. It really isn't. Also, the meeting point at the Pyramide metro station is not particularly easy to find. There wasn't much to see, though I'm glad we went there.

    The trip was excellent, despite the rainy weather. Our guide was delightful, very knowledgeable and a gift for story telling that made the place come alive. We were lucky to have a small group of 10, all in all, we had a great morning.

    Great tour, wonderful tour guide. Ostia is a treasure and simply wonderful to visit. This was our second visit and by far the bet experience. Our guide made all the difference: knowledgeable, well spoken, patient and friendly.
