As this was the second time our ship visited Civitavecchia during our current journey we passed on an excursion to Rome and selected Ostia Antica which was much closer to the port. We were thrilled with our choice.
The Ostia Antica site compares favourably with Pompeii and, on our visit, wasn't overrun with tourists. It was hot but we managed to find a few shady spots during our explorations. We would highly recommend this tour to fellow Regent travellers.

At the conclusion of our tour we were driven to the beachside town of Ostia where we were treated to a delicious gelato.
