We were on this tour in May of 2010 and it was wonderful.
Since our luggage was lost, we had to spend time shopping for clothes on our extra day, so we didn't stay in Naples. We discovered a Flea Market that comes to Sorrento once a week. We were the only tourists there and we enjoyed mingling with the residents. We did recover our luggage, before we left Sorrento.
We had time on the first day of the tour to visit Capri and still be back for the Welcome Dinner. The boat to Capri leaves from the hotel that we stayed at, which I believe is the same one for you, and we hired a taxi after we arrived there. Although Capri is somewhat touristy, we had a very nice time there.
You will probably be asked to download a "Presenter" program in order to watch it. It only takes a few seconds to download and is very safe. My Photo class downloaded it without problems and you will see that the Slide Program has been viewed 825 times and I haven't heard of anyone having any security problems with it. Actually the Website is part of my Phodex software. Be sure to leave you sound on.
Whatever you do, you will have a wonderful trip. We are going to take our 12th trip with Tauck in September and although all of them have been wonderful, Classic Italy was one of our favorites.

It looks great. I can't wait. I leave for the 9/4 trip on 9/1.
We do not go to a church everyday, there are scheduled visits on Days 4,6, and 7. That being said there are so many wonderful and beautiful churches around Italy so it’s quite tempting to enter some churches for their impressive architecture, frescoes, and paintings on days where church visits aren't scheduled
