    High speed train to Florence for the day

    The guide Andrea was pleasantly nice and patient. Helping everyone on the trip through the Termini was stress-free. If you are not fimiliar with the station or how the trains work this is a great way to get to Florence for the day without having to worry. I would recommend it to first time solo travels or couples who dont want to traverse the Termini by themselves for their first time.

    Great way to see the city of Florence

    Annalisa was very helpful and went out of here way to make sure everyone had a good experience. The guides were knowledgeable and were respectful of our time one day is not enough to see all of Florence but if it is all you have this is the way to see it. The guides gave recommendations on what to do with our free time and helped me get tickets to another museum.

    Response from the operator: Dear Davide, Thank you for your kind review! 😊 We’re happy to hear that you had a positive experience and that you enjoyed the tour in Florence✨ We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future! 🌟 Kind regards, Gray Line I Love Rome

    It was a lovely day but a bit long.

    It was a nice day and our guide was terrific! It could have been two to three hours shorter. We finished touring by two in the afternoon and had to wait around for three hours.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you had a nice day and that your guide was terrific. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the tour duration. We strive to balance comprehensive exploration with our guests' comfort and schedule. Your input helps us refine our offerings to provide a more tailored experience. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your day in Rome, and we look forward to welcoming you on another tour soon!

    Family of 8

    Overall our family 8 had a great time and recommend especially if you have never been on the train leaving Rome before. However, I wished I realized that Tour Leader does not mean Tour Guide. Our tour leader was great - but we didn’t know all that means is someone to help you get on and off the trains and did not include a Tour Guide around Florence. I’m sure this was my mistake but nonetheless it was still worth it.

    Florence from Rome by High Speed Train at Your Pace: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Florence from Rome by High Speed Train at Your Pace cost?

    +

    Prices start at €135 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 from Rome by High Speed Train at Your Pace take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 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 from Rome by High Speed Train at Your Pace worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 15 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 from Rome by High Speed Train at Your Pace?

    +

    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 from Rome by High Speed Train at Your Pace suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Florence from Rome by High Speed Train at Your Pace?

    +

    Around 5 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Florence from Rome by High Speed Train at Your Pace 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 from Rome by High Speed Train at Your Pace?

    +

    Included: Tour leader; and Round-trip high-speed train tickets from Rome to Florence. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; Gratuities; and Local guide in Florence (self-guided experience). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
