“Ostia Antica was the last stop on our trip (it's not far from the Fiumicino airport) and our tour turned out to be one of the high points. Paula was utterly amazing. As my son (age 25) said, "She knew everything." As a trained archeologist, her knowledge of the site (a onetime bustling port city), its history, how the structures were made and used and how they were uncovered, was profound. And her clear passion for her subject brought it all to life and kept the 3 of us engaged for the entire 3-hour tour. An amazing experience.”

Ostia Antica is a very overlooked and special place in terms of the things you can see there. Really great mosaics, very well preserved and absolutely huge, it's like Pompeii without the crowds! Grazie Mille Vincenzo, hope to see you again!”
