Below is what I sent to my friend when he had a few days pre-cruise in Rome; doesn't really apply to you since you have more days.
The Ron in Rome site is really good for everyday tips and stuff (e.g. how to use bus ticket machines, etc.). Rick Steves audio tours were nice at the main monuments.
Feel free to PM me if you have questions.
Missing from list above: Borghese Gardens.
A bit of info on Venice & Florence etc. from my previous coworkers that went (I haven't been):
