Upcoming 10 day trip to Rome/Sorrento/Amalfi/Naples starting on October 17th...

We leave for Italy next week (arriving Rome mid-day on October 18th and flying home from Naples on October 28th). 5 days/nights are in Rome and 5 are in Sorrento/Naples (3 nights in Sorrento, 2 in Naples). We’ve been to Rome twice before and never to Sorrento/Amalfi/Naples, so looking to do things we haven't done on previous trips. We feel comfortable in Rome and are not looking to fill every second with a tour, plus we are spending time with our studying abroad child. Here’s what we have cobbled together so far:

Rome:
Galleria Borghese
Tivoli
Roman Catacombs? (a suggestion from a friend but I’m not sure)
Food Tour

Sorrento/Amalfi/Naples:
Amalfi Coast tour with private driver/guide, spending time in Positano, Amalfi and Ravello
Pompeii/Herculaneum with private driver/guide when we leave for Naples from Sorrento
Archeological Museum
St. Elmo/Nuevo Castles

Thoughts? Are we missing some ‘must see/do’ experience?

We went to the Catacombs on our first time in Rome and visited San Sebastián. No, it’s not a mistake to go.
A huge yes to Tivoli and it’s magnificent fountains!
Your plans sound excellent to me.

I forgot to mention we also booked a Trastevere Food Tour! Staying in Trastevere, too.

I just sent you a private message to ask more about your private driver/guide.

Vickie, you might want to start a new thread with your question in case marlasw doesn't log in again for a considerable length of time? It might also be a good idea to get additional recommendations, and very few people are going see your question here. :O)
