    Nice

    The guided tours were wonderful and a great learning experience. The train ride home was a problem. The only train to Rome was a different company that charged us $200. Our train number was for Napoli. We asked several people, including security, but they all said to read the monitor. Other than paying twice for a train, it was a good day

    Response from the operator: Hello Michael, Thank you for taking the time to share your review! We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the guided visits in Florence and found the day to be such a wonderful learning experience. Regarding the return journey, we’re sorry for the confusion you encountered at the station. We have carefully reviewed your booking and can confirm that the return train ticket provided was correctly issued for the Florence–Rome route on September 22. We understand that being given conflicting information at the station can be frustrating, particularly when trying to identify the correct platform or train. We would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly and better understand what happened. Please feel free to contact us at your convenience, and we will be happy to review the details with you personally. Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re glad that the rest of your Florence experience was so enjoyable.

    Need to go back to see more in Florence

    The experience started in a very negative way. We were met by a guide who put us on the train at the last possible moment while also telling us and trying to coordinate where we going at the end of the end of train ride. He told us one place only to find out it was a different place entirely that we had to try and walk to. We were trying to help the other couple with us who had issues with walking long distances. I would give the first part of the review a 2 out of 5 stars but once we met with Sara everything turned it around. She is an amazing tour guide who clearly shows the passion for her job, her city, and the art she shows. If you have the chance to have Sara as your guide you won’t be disappointed. Side note when attempting to contact the first guide to get more info about to meet he never answered his phone. Sara deserves a 7/5 star rating.

    Great Day Trip from Rome

    LivTours did an amazing job curating the day in Florence. The experience was seamless as we passed from Alessandro in Rome to Olga and Sara in Florence. I would highly recommend if you want to get away from Rome for a day.

    Great highlights of Florence in one day

    Travel from Rome to and from Florence was great. We met guides at train stations with clear directions. Once we all met to start tour in Florence - I was a little confused on timeline. I think the guides could have provided more detail on itinerary and to ask group if they had any specific requests. We spent over 2 hours in uffizi museum and ran over. It wasn’t clear how much free time we would have and when from the start of day. Both guides were super passionate about their jobs - great story telling!! But wanted more communication and to ask if we were okay with itinerary. Also i would have liked to know the return train time in advance that was purchased by tour group bc i would have stayed longer in Florence. Getting to skip line and go straight to statue of David was the reason I booked this tour as well!

    Educational, inspiring

    Gallerie Museum with statue of David, Venus de Milo painting, and history of the area and Medici. Loved the tour guides. Very knowledgeable and accommodating.

    Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

    How much does Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia cost?

    +

    Prices start at €414 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.

    Is Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rome?

    +

    Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rome?

    +

    April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rome?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia?

    +

    What languages is Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Florence Day Trip from Rome by Fast Train with Uffizi & Accademia wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
