Personally it would be too much for me far too hectic.hy not remove the Sorrento part and spend more time in Tuscany.rop the hire car back from where you picked it up before getting the train to Rome. I know it's your 1st trip, but you don't have to see everything, as the risk is you'll just see tourist destination after tourist destination and little of Italy itself. If you're set on this agenda, then yes it's doable if manically hectic. regards Ian
