Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Meet your host in the morning at Santa Maria Novella Station in central Florence. Receive your round-trip train ticket, vaporetto ticket and information about train times, and then take off on your own to catch your high-speed train.

After roughly two hours, arrive in the heart of the UNESCO-listed city of Venice. Hop off and hit the streets to explore, enjoying the leisurely pace of your own sightseeing plans. To get around the city, use your Vessel ticket on the city’s vaporetto transport system, valid for 12 hours and covering most areas in central Venice.

Marvel at major landmarks including St Mark’s Basilica, Rialto Bridge and the Venetian Gothic style of Doge’s Palace. After strolling through St Mark’s Square, perhaps relax with an espresso or lunch at one of the many cafés and restaurants in the city center. To check out Italian art, consider visiting the Peggy Guggenheim Collection or the Ca' Rezzonico Museum of Eighteenth Century Art. Entrance fees to attractions and any meals are at your own expense.

After a day of independent sightseeing, make your own way to Venice’s Santa Lucia Station to return to Florence by high-speed train.

GREAT DAY OF TRIP

I like how everything was done for all of us. We just showed up at the Florence train station, and the representative gave us train tickets; tickets and directions how to use vaporattos; and tickets to St. Mark's Basilica. Please note you will be taking the last train out of Venice at 7:00 PM back to Florence.

This was a great day for my husband and I. This trip makes it easy. No lines for water taxi, train or church. Plan what you want to do and as soon as you get there you are off!

We stepped out of the train station only to see the most breathtaking sites on our trip. To walk the tiny streets and taste the amazing food here is truly an experience that should be on everyone's bucket list! To see the history and the architecture is something no one should miss while in Italy! We highly recommend this trip to anyone!

If you have the opportunity, I would visit Venice. It is absolutely gorgeous. Booking this tour took the stress out of trying to figure out how to get there. It also included the day ticket to travel on the water boats throughout the city.

We got off the fast train one stop too soon because it said Venice. Had to purchase a ticket to the next stop. The 7:00 train back to Florence was 45 minutes late and we missed the last train back to Montecatini and had to hire a taxi for $100.

We took a day trip to Venice, and the best way was by high speed train. However, beware that Venice is very crowded during the hours we were there 0900 until 1900. The train was 2.5 hours late, which was very disappointing because we could have spent more time exploring the city. Overall, I would recommend this trip.

It really is a self directed tour. Well organized with the guide at the train station. We went on the labour day, and Venice itself was more crowded than usual. I loved St Mark's... we paid extra to see the museum, which I felt was worth it... If you have any interest in religious history, you will want to do it for 5 euros.

This was a very convenient way to take a day trip to Venice from Florence. We may have been able to figure it out ourselves, but it was very nice to meet someone at the train station to get our tickets, directions, and vaporetto tickets, especially since it was our first time traveling to Venice. After our meeting, we were on our own for a fun adventure!
