Anybody been on the RS Venice Florence Rome trip lately? Any suggestions?

Hello,

We are planning to take the VFR trip in March. Any suggestions for more to do? We have some free tour time and are staying and extra night in Venice and 5 more nights in Rome....

Any tips from your VFR trip with RS that you wish you knew about?

I did the VFR tour in May 2007 and had a great time. I got to Venice one day early and went to Padova (Scrovegni Chapel) the next morning, before the tour commenced. I would have like another day in Venice in order to see Murano and Burano.

Another couple of nights in Rome would be nice if only to accommodate a trip to Pompeii and Ostia Antica.

As it was, we left Rome on the last day of the tour and went to Bagnoregio for one night (best B&B I've ever stayed at), two nights in Siena and then two nights in Vernazza. Took train from Vernazza to Firenze where we caught plane to Frankfurt.

Though we had a car between the pick up at FCO and Siena, I would not do that again. Too much hassle to have a car anywhere near a city.
