Have you ever dreamed of walking through a real Roman city from two thousand years ago?
Just a few kilometers from Rome there is an extraordinary place where time seems to have stopped: Ostia Antica, one of the largest and best-preserved archaeological sites in the world, second only to the excavations of Pompeii.
With this immersive guided tour, you won’t just look at ruins—you will step into the daily life of the ancient Romans.
Together we will walk along the ancient basalt streets, passing shops, baths, temples, and patrician houses. Along the way, you’ll hear stories, curiosities, and fascinating details that bring these thousand-year-old stones back to life, revealing a vibrant city full of people, trade, and everyday activity.
You will discover:
where ancient Romans went to eat and drink
how the baths and social meeting places worked
where merchants, sailors, and citizens lived
what a typical day in imperial Rome looked like
Walking among mosaics, columns, and remarkably well-preserved buildings, you’ll be able to truly imagine the life of a Roman city at the height of its glory.

Hello! I’m Isabella, Isa for short. I was born in Calabria, but now I’m Roman by adoption. Eleven years ago I decided to start a new life in the city that has always been a dream for me: Rome. Probably the wish expressed at 9 years old in the toss coin in the Trevi Fountain came true! A fresh start! I am an Art Historian, PhD in History of Art at the University of Siena, an Archeologist, licensed tour guide, also for the Colosseum and Vatican Museums. I am also a Fidal technician and Coni physical trainer! In 2016 was born the most important project for me: ArcheoRunning. In it I’ve combined my passions: to tell about the hostory of the city of Rome, her culture and the running! In fact, I do running tours. But not simple running tour, but real guided running tours. I have a specific mission, to make the city known from a completely new point of view through gentle movement! It is not a race or a hard workout, ArcheoRunning is well-being and happiness. In a word: #RunDipity!
