Such a memorable tour!

I'm so pleased we chose this tour - our guide was knowledgeable and clear, and knew all the tips and tricks to guide us to see all the sites in a short timeframe. I don't think our Vatican experience would've been as rich or meaningful without this guide.
Amazing Vatican Tour

This tour was amazing, and Angelica did a fantastic job! Full of rich detail but at a pace and level appropriate for the entirety of our group: from the children to the adults. Cannot recommend enough.

Our guide for Vatican City was Eugene Hertoghe! He was absolutely wonderful. He explained everything in the simplest way and he had a great sense of humor. He was really friendly and kind and I feel we were really lucky we had him for our tour!! Your Greek friends Vaios & Maria!!

Itinerary
Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica
Stroll through the Roman demolishes in this old town. It tends to be characterized a little Pompeii, only couple of kilometers from Rome. The principal settlement can be followed back to the start of the fourth century B.C. Just toward the finish of that century a squared sustained post (castrum) was assembled. This castrum was encompassed by solid tufa dividers and its fundamental street tomahawks - the Cardus and the Decumanus. This military camp, called Ostia from the Latin word Ostium signifying "mouth of the stream", was set up at a separation of around 16 miles from Rome, as a military station to monitor not just the entrance to the Tiber and the adjacent zones, so as to protect Rome. The city was then encompassed by another hover of dividers that is generally credited at the season of Sulla. The dividers delineated an urban territory of around 50 hectares which could be gotten to through three primary doors: Porta Romana,Porta Laurentina and Porta Marina.
