Italy 3 week contiki vs topdeck- trip planning

My friend and I are planning a trip to Europe for 3 weeks next year. We haven't quite decided on where to go or how to go yet. A Europe trip is on my 30 things before 30 list. Having a quick search on the internet, I found out that Italy is a great European destination with a moderate price tag. I am budgeting A$5000 including flights, insurance, all expenses (my companion has a bit more to spend, but I assume they will simply spend more on food, gifts, etc). I don't want to skimp on the experience, but I'm happy to eat less, but have more meals.

Firstly, I wanted to compare Contiki and Topdeck offerings.

Attractions to see:
  • St Peter's Square, Rome
  • Colosseum, Rome
  • Trevi Fountain, Rome
  • Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel
  • Leaning tower of Pisa
  • Gate of Paradise, Florence
  • Lake Maggoire
  • Romeo and Juliet's Balcony- Verona
  • Gondola, Venice
  • Pompeii
  • Boat trip to Capri
  • San Gimignano
  • Tuscany
