Ok, family of 4 including a teenager and young adult...
Our first 4 nights in Italy will be spent in Sorrento...
So Essentially this means we will likely arrive in Rome (via Sorrento) about mid-day on Friday, Aug. 14.
We just got confirmed for the Scavi Tour on Aug. 17 at 9:15 am--the day before we leave for home.
So...based on that little knowledge...I am wondering how you would advise us to use our time. Obviously, we will hit St. Peter's as part of the Scavi tour--BUT then what? Does it make any sense to hit Vatican museums later that day? Or should we try to accomplish that on Friday afternoon arrival--sounds a bit dicey? I think solving the Vatican area is clearly key to determining flow of other visits to Colosseum, Forum, Spanish Steps, etc.?
Thanks in advance for your help!
