How much do day trips from Rome cost?

Prices vary by format and distance. Shared group trips by train, such as the Ostia Antica half-day tours, sit at the more accessible end, while private full-day excursions to Pompeii or Orvieto are premium because a driver and guide are dedicated to your group. Check each listing for the live price in your chosen currency before booking.

About Rome

Rome rewards travellers who look beyond the city walls, and its day trips are some of the easiest wins for a first visit — ancient ruins, hill towns and wine country all sit within a short ride of the centre. Start with the Ostia Antica Semi-Private Day Trip from Rome by Train with Guide, a four-hour escape to a remarkably intact Roman port town, or spend a full day in Tivoli on the Private Day Trip from Rome: Tivoli, Villa d'Este & Hadrian's Villa (UNESCO) if you want gardens and imperial villas in one outing.

Frequently asked questions

Rome's centre is dense and walkable, but the surrounding Lazio region holds sights that are hard to reach on your own: the excavated streets of Ostia Antica, the villas and gardens of Tivoli, and the wine hills around Frascati. A guided day trip handles transport and context, so you see more in a few hours than you would by piecing together trains.
