Day Trips from Florence by Train

A day trip from Florence by train hands the driving to the rail line, so the listings we describe differ in where the line ends: Pisa, Pompeii, Bologna or Rome. The ones that state a length run from 6 hours on a private Pisa outing to 12 hours on the Pompeii run. We list 6 day trips by train on this page.

Guided day trips by train from Florence

Guided days name a guide or an audio guide for the destination: a live guide in Pisa, an English-speaking guide or an English audio guide in Pompeii, and a full-day professional guide on the Rome listing. Guided listings to Pisa, Pompeii, Bologna and Rome sit in this format; a private Pisa outing has its own entry below. A Pisa listing in this group is rated 4.0; "Choose your return time to Florence", the listing notes, so the hours in Pisa are yours to set. The Pompeii day takes a high-speed train to Naples and a regional train on to Pompeii.

Private train day trip to Pisa

A private departure keeps the train day to your own party, so the pace of a day out of Florence is set by one party. The listing we describe is rated 5.0 over about 6 hours, with an expert guide and train tickets among its inclusions; "Pick up at the train station of Florence", that listing notes, is listed alongside them.

Guided and private days differ most in the type of group: the private Pisa outing is listed as private, so the first question is whether you want a day out of Florence arranged for your own party.

Table data is indicative and comes from the GuruWalk catalogue. Each activity's current details, including availability, are the ones shown on its listing when you book.

Cancellation terms before the train

Several of the tours we describe state free cancellation up to 24 hours before, among them the private Pisa outing and the Bologna food day. Read the terms on the listing you choose before you commit.

Options to settle at booking

On a train day out of Florence, some inclusions depend on the option you tick, and we point to them here. "Leaning Tower Entry ticket (if option selected)", the Pisa listing notes, so the tower entry does not come by default. The Bologna day offers a food tour with or without a Lambrusco tasting.
