And also received a reply back from Tom Rankin:
Thanks for your email. While we do often lead tours in Ostia Antica,
this October the members of my staff qualified to do so are busy with
archaeological work and wouldn't be available that day. I wish I
could suggest someone else but I really don't have any good ideas.
All the best,

So even though these did not work for us - now there will be some
contact information for tours from the port of Civitavecchia.
I guess we'll just walk around - and find a place for a nice lunch and
just enjoy being in Italy.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a place for a charming lunch and/or
wine?
Cheers,
