Important information
The times indicated are approximate. Within 24 hours of booking, the local supplier will email you with your train tickets and instructions to follow, as well as the specific times for your excursion to Rome.
There will be no assistance at the station in Florence: you will have to board the train on your own. We recommend arriving at Santa Maria Novella station at least 30 minutes before the train's departure. The information panel with that reads "Partenze" will show the platform (Binario or Bin) from which your train will depart. Once on the platform, you must locate your car (Carrozza) and, inside it, your seat (Posto).
Once you arrive at the Roma-Termini station, you will have to make your way to the Colosseum, where the guide will be waiting for you at the ticket office to begin the tour. You will receive all the relevant instructions in the email from the local supplier.
The best way to get from Roma-Termini station to the Colosseum is by metro line B2. There are only two stops between the two stations!
