Vehicle and driver ( 06 horas)

The perfect half day trip from Civitavecchia for those seeking to learn more about ancient Roman ruins but do not have time to travel to Pompeii. The beautifully preserved ruins of Ancient Ostia were founded in the 4th century BC and were once inhabited by over 20,000 people. Ancient Ostia is commonly referred to as "The Better Pompeii" due to the astonishing, highly-preserved condition of its buildings. Structures include taverns, baths, apartments, groceries and theatres - and their intact state so strikingly exceeds that of the Roman Forum, Imperial Forum and Pompeii, that it seems a misnomer to call them 'ruins'..

Walk the main street, the Decumanus Maximus bringing the stones around you to life. The Roman statues that line the walkways are in such perfect condition you'll feel as though you are walking amongst the ancient Romans themselves! You'll even be enticed to take a dip in the Baths of Neptune, which are crowned by a impressively intact mosaic of the sea god being drawn by four horse chariot. And if you are a theatre fan, you'll enjoy Ancient Ostia's anphitheatre, Whose structure is still so stable that you will be able to take your place in the stands as 3,500 Roman spectators once did back in 12BC when it was first constructed. Your English speaking driver guide will take care of you in this exaiting adventure, all of the major sites will be covered in a 2.5 hour leisurely walk through the ruins - including but not limited to Ostia's Amphitheatre, Forum of the Corporations, the Collegiate Temple, the public tavern and public baths.
