We had a great time visiting Ostia Antica with Francesca. She is very knowledgeable, shares information clearly and is able to quickly adapt to what you want to see and do. She's also very professional and actually contacted me to confirm the tour, share contact details and meeting point immediately after booking it. Ostia Antica itself is amazingly large and well preserved. There is so much to see, I took more pictures than I did for Pompeii and Herculaneum put together. Thanks to Francesca, we were able to see pretty much every important location in about 3h at a good walking pace. A private tour may feel like a luxury but if you really want to see and know about the place at your own rythm it's really the best way to go. We were able to ask all the questions that came to our mind and learned everything we wanted to know about ancient Ostia and the life of its inhabitants. I highly recomment this tour with Francesca and I know that when we come back to Rome in the future, we'll certainly plan another tour with her.

Francesca was one of the best tour guides we have ever had! Having been an archaeologist, now, tour guide, she was a wealth of information! She was fun and passionate about ostia Antica! She brought extra informational books to show you if you are a visual person, and it brought the whole place to life! Highly recommend! So many places in Rome to see but take the time to go to a Ostia in Antica with Francesca! you will not be disappointed
