JUST A FEW HELPFUL TIPS TO TAKE YOUR TRAIN TO FRASCATI ( to TOR VERGATA for tours starting only on SATURDAY) : - Train to Frascati leaves from Rome Termini MON-FRI at 9:49AM //SUNDAY 9:54AM. Your driver Marco will meet you in front of the FRASCATI train station at 10:20 ( you have to exit the train station, and outside you'll see the driver) For tours starting on SATURDAY, the starting point is the Tor Vergata train station (please exit the train station, and outside you'll see the driver). Train leaves from Roma Termini to Tor Vergata at 10:14 AM. - Make sure you get to Roma Termini station early; in Rome, buses, taxis & subways are often late. - You can buy your train tickets in advance on the trenitalia.it website, or from the ticket machines inside the train station. For the return trip, you can buy your tickets directly at the Frascati train station when you are ready to return to Rome after lunch. One round trip ticket cost 4.20 euro. - I do recommend getting to the train station in Rome early since the train to FRASCATI sometimes departs from the platforms that are way in the back of the station and take 5 minutes to walk to from the front of the station. - Show your train tickets to security to gain access to the train platforms; - Remember to stamp your tickets to validate them; For any question please call +39 3313326990 ( also whatsapp )
