We're glad we saw this country on a tour instead of driving. Few street or highway signs were in English, and many people spoke very little English.
We visited Assisi and Orvieto, two small areas that we probably wouldn't have included in an itinerary we arranged.
The tour company arranged all the bus trips, funiculars, boats, mini-buses, etc. We were at the head of the line at the Vatican, got right into the Academy of Arts to see the statue of David, Tower of Pisa, etc.
11 days- 1252 miles on the bus, plus 424 miles round-trip to Maratea and back to Rome on the train
Traversed 6,109 stairs (Tom 6,409)!!!!! I may have missed a few, if, by chance, I was talking to someone. Ha! Or listening intently to a guide.
We visited Rome, Florence, Orvieto, Montecatini, Assisi, Venice, Pisa, Positano, Pompeii, Isle of Capri, Sorrento.
It was a fantastic trip and we recommended it to friends several times in the first few days we were home.
