Rome is 90 minutes from Florence on the high-speed train, so one long day fits the Pantheon or the Vatican Museums and the train back.

Rome day trips from Florence run on the high-speed train, so what shapes the day is the stops that come with the ticket. The listings we describe split between a day at your own pace and a visit with a full-day guide. We list 2 day trips to Rome from Florence on this page.
Each Rome day is built around a ticketed visit, yet the listings spend the time differently. One pairs the Pantheon with the Doria Pamphilj Gallery and leaves the pace to you; "Freedom to explore at your own pace", the listing notes, is among its inclusions. The other is a visit to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel with first-class tickets on the fast train.
Because the formats spend the time so differently, we would compare their stops in Rome first.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before is stated on the Rome listings we describe, so a day out of Florence can be dropped if plans change; we would still check the terms on the listing you pick.
English is shown on both Rome listings; the Vatican Museums listing also shows Spanish, which matters if your group travels in Spanish.
The rail leg is handled in the listings we describe. One states first-class fast train tickets from Florence to Rome and back, and the other pre-arranges its high-speed train tickets, so the journey is part of the booking.
The Vatican Museums listing includes a full-day professional tour guide, with staff assistance during the tour. The Pantheon listing instead states that you explore at your own pace.
