A lovely tour of Ostia Antica

Published on Oct, 2024

Was a pleasant trip to an amazing place for the right length of time. Andy was friendly and knowledgeable and made it fun for us, especially our son.

Wonderful tour of Ostia

Our private tour of Ostia Antica with Francesca G was AMAZING! Ostia is beautiful and fascinating. Francesca was on time, well organized, and clearly expert on Ostia. She is also a lovely and warm person. We all learned so much, including our daughter who had been studying Ancient Rome in Italy for the past several months. We would absolutely recommend Liv Tours and Francesca!

Wonders of Ostia Antica

Published on Apr, 2024

Marco made the ruins of this ancient harbor town come alive for us with his well-informed discussion of the site’s history, culture and architecture. Short trip from central Rome via train, gorgeous landscape, and no noisy crowds. We could not have understood the significance of this site or been able to pinpoint the best spots to visit without Marco’s guidance. Highlight of our visit to Rome!

Fascinating and first rate

Published on Apr, 2024

Our tour around the city of Ostia Antica with Valentina was exceptional. Valentina is a first-rate guide, knowledgeable, humorous and with a deep understanding of the site which allows her to point out a host of fascinating detail in what we were seeing. We truly felt that the ancient city and its people were brought to life around us. She was also extremely kind and patient with our two young children (9 and 7) and sought to engage them by pointing out features and telling them stories they would enjoy. Highly recommended and one if the highlights of our visit to Rome.

Great private tour of Ostia Antica

Published on Mar, 2024

We had a fabulous private tour with Barbara! She was so knowledgeable and fun, she really made it come alive. The tour started when Ostia opened first thing in the morning and we had the entire site to ourselves for almost 2 hours. More people should visit Ostia Antica and learn more about the port’s history. It’s a beautiful green space with so many ruins, statues and frescos. The regular small-group Liv tours are great, but I love doing the private tours. We’ve had only good experiences with Liv Tours.
