Florence is just ninety minutes from Rome by high-speed train, which makes it an easy day trip. This guided option arranges the tickets and gets you through the lines.

A local guide meets you at Termini, travels with you on the train and walks you through the historic centre: the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria and the Ponte Vecchio. You will have timed entry to see Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia, one of the most famous sculptures in the world.

You will then have free time to lunch, shop or visit another museum. Train times are subject to change; check current details when you enquire.
