My Globus Best of Italy tour is coming up at the end of April!!!Your input is needed

I can't believe it's almost here! I'm equally nervous as I am excited.
This if the first time I'm not "micro-planning" our trip. I kind of like the fact that we don't have to think about anything.

This is my request for any last minute tips. We will have some afternoons free in some towns:

Here's a quick overview:
Day1: Flight
Day2: explore Rome, 6pm meet for dinner w/ tour crew
Day 3: Rome-->Pompeii then onto Sorrento in the afternoon to stroll around and shop. Then onto a boat to the Isle of Capri.
Day 4: sightseeing in the Am(including Villa San Michele) Afternoon and evening at lesiure to stroll around.
Day 5: Boat to Naples and drive through to Assisi to see Basilica of St. Francis. We stay here at night.
Day 6: Drive to Ravenna to see Basilica of St. Apollinaris in Classe. Next we arrive in Venice....
Day 7: Tour of Venice including St. Mark's square, Basililca, Doges' palace and the bride of Sighs. Then, enjoy Venice on our own or opt to do an excursion to the island of Burano.
Day 8:Drive to Pisa to see leaning tower and then a short drive to the valley of the Arno River to Montecatini.
Day 9: Tuscany - all day tour to city of Florence to see the academy of fine arts, cathedral, giotto's bell tower,etc.
Afternoon for independent sightseeing and browsing through sohps.
Day 10: drive through chianti wine area to Siena - walk through piazza del campo. We have time on our own here before continuing to Rome. We can eat dinner in the evening at one of Rome's restatuarants.
Day11: Sightseeing in rome (vatican,sistine,st.peter's square and basilica). There is time for independent activities and option excursions
Day 12: On our own (extended our tour!) we will meet another couple for two days from home to stay in Rome.
Day 13: On our own w/ our friends still in Rome.


Can you help me fill in the gaps? There is some time to do our own thing and choose our own restaurants. Any recommendations of "must see/do" during the above mentioned free time?
Any good excursions to look into?
We will have a considerable amount of free time in Rome alone - so restaurant recommendations, Lunch spots to check out, even clubs in the evening to go to - would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

your tour sounds jam packed and you will need some downtime to breathe! we took a tour last year and it was tiring. for your free time in rome i would suggest spending several hours walking around and making stops at the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Pantheon. you will pass other interesting sites and lots of shops and restaurants along the way. I would also suggest several hours exploring the colloseum and roman forum. the history is incredible.
have a wonderful time. i am jealous!

Honestly, DH and I just walked around during our free time, shopped, took pictures, ate at restaurants, etc. Really relaxing. We chose our restaurants by looking through windows and seeing what everyone was eating Since the tour is so planned, it is nice to take your free time and just enjoy it. I wouldn't plan anything specific. Enjoy!
