I really liked the round trip by TGV. The guide took us to the places to visit and left us for more than 6 hours while giving us the meeting point. I would have liked to have more explanations because I confused the piazza with looking for a pizzeria. Useless waste of time. What are the places we could visit, no idea. Lots of street vendors.
The guide was supposed to be with us for 4 hours, but once we arrived in Florence, he stayed for about 15 minutes and then came back to pick us up for departure. Left to ourselves. I would have liked to have more information. Very disappointed actually... But I liked the TGV.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to kindly clarify a few important aspects of the tour you booked. You selected our "At Your Pace" tour, which is specifically designed to give guests the freedom to explore Florence independently. For this reason, the tour leader is not a licensed city guide and is not intended to provide a guided sightseeing tour. Instead, their role is to accompany the group, ensure everything runs smoothly, and serve as a reliable point of reference throughout the day. Best regards, Gray Line I Love Rome
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.
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
The trip Rome to Florence was fantastic! And not easy! At Termini station in Rome you go to an ITALO train ticket office and buy the ticket (in our case, 4 passengers were 199€) and arrive at S station. M. Novella faith Florence after 1h36' travel! Fantastic, I could go cheaper... but it will take longer! And Novella is next to everything in Florence, a walk and the hotel to leave suitcases!
Michaela made the experience so easy and was super helpful! She made sure everyone was very comfortable and went above and beyond. Which made our day trip to Florence amazing
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.

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.
This trip started at the main train station where our first guide met us and made sure we got on the right train. We were met at the Naples station by our guide for the rest of the day. We were first taken to Pompeii where we were given a small radio so we could hear our guide as she walked us around some of the best bits of Pompeii. She was very knowledgeable and pointed out a lot of things we would have missed. We were then led to a very nice restaurant for local pizza, which was delicious, and then back on the coach to Naples. We had a drive around the area (which was ideal in the heat wave as the coach was airconditioned and comfortable) before stopping in the impressive historic area of Naples where we had a very short wander around (with commentary from our guide) before going to a cafe for a choice of drink and cake. After the cafe we were all put back on the right train and back to Rome. Our guide was fantastic and very mindful of how hot it was; she managed the heat very well for us all. Thank you!
Very helpful! Good day trip for those who enjoy exploring on your own! Guide helps you on and off the train but the day is up to you! Make sure you book museums and tours ahead of time as that’s not included in this! Overall made the train traveling experience MUCH easier!
Our tour guide Jacob, gave clear instructions on meeting points and times and he was always visible with the pink hat on the pole 👍 Jacob also managed to add the Museum of Uffizi for me , and I’m so glad I experienced seeing famous works of art by Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raffaelo. Florence was beautiful and seeing some of the stunning Italian countryside on the way to Florence was great. Loved the whole day
