Help with bus tours

I did a search and found Appian, Carrani and the Greenline but none of them do the tours we want in November. We are going with my 78 year old mother and would like to take two bus trips. Not feasible for her to try and take a train trip. Any help? thanks.

I'm sorry yes we are going to Rome in NOvember. Would like to go to Ostia Antica or Tivoli. Don't think my mother would do good on the train. Thanks.

Just so you're aware - when we were at Tivoli - about 6 years ago - it involved a LOT of steps/climbing (several steep flights) to see much of anything. (A couple of older folks decided not to attempt it when they saw the climb.)

even if you do find a tour to Ostia Antica, print this off for your reference:

Here are a couple of tours but I have no personal experience with them:
