Recommendations for extending Best of Italy tour

Hi. We are taking the 17 day best of Italy tour in May 2026 and would like some suggestions for extending the tour for another week or so. I’m already thinking of arriving in Venice a couple days early to recover from jet lag and start out the tour fresh. On the back end I’m thinking maybe adding two more days in rome and then maybe heading south to Sorrento, Pompei and the Amalfi coast for another 4 or 5 days before flying back from either Rome or Naples. We are definitely interested in seeing Pompei but also hope to relax in some nice town(s) after so much touring. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

We stayed in Sorrento six days after completing the Best of Italy tour and found it to be perfect. We visited Pompeii, the Amalfi coast and Capri. All very easy via public transportation from Sorrento. We also loved spending time in Sorrento. The tour keeps you quite busy and it was nice to just slow down afterwards. We did not spend extra days in Rome and wished we had. So much to see there.
