I felt like Florence was more busy than Rome. I didn't really feel like it was that touristy, however we stayed in an apartment there and had good advice from the owner on places to go. We went to a place called Il Latini and the florentine steak was amazing. I guess I could see it being touristy as far as all the leather shops. The cities across Tuscany were kind of the same way though. If they were famous for wine, there were wine shops everywhere, cheese... etc.
I enjoyed Venice quite a bit, my wife didn't like it as well. Partly because of the water buses, she started feeling seasick a few times. If we go back I want to explore the Amalfi Coast, taking one day for Pompeii and the other for Sorrento didn't leave much time there.
