Feedback on an October trip

Hello,

We are traveling to Italy for 16 nights in October. We are spending the first four nights in Tuscany and will then meet up with another couple who have never been to Italy before...they will have spent the previous three days in Rome. Since my husband and I have been to Italy before, we are trying to do a mix of new sights for us and traditional sites for them...here's what we have so far...once we pick them up spend 3 days in Tuscany/Chianti, travel to Venice by train for 2 nights, travel by train to Milan for 2 nights with a day trip to Lake Como and a day in Milan, travel to the Cinque Terra for 3 nights and then the final 2 nights in Florence...all travel by train except for Tuscany where we will have a rental car. Thoughts?

Thank you.

I would do Venice for 3 nights and Cinque Terre for 2 nights.
Stay on Lake Como, visiting Milan en route.

So your 16 nights looks like ...
Tuscany - 4 nights (by selves)
Tuscany/Chianti - 3 nights
Venice - 3 nights
Depart Venice on an early morning train for Milan. Store your bags and explore Milan. Later head on to ...
Lake Como - 2 nights
Cinque Terre - 2 nights
Florence - 2 nights
