I recently heard a news report suggesting that Florentines are getting weary of all the tourists. My wife and I will be in Siena for 7 days in October and had hoped to make a day trip by train to visit Ufizzi and Academia galleries. I respect the desires for locals to enjoy their city without intrusion by throngs of (unruly?) outsiders but I would deeply regret not visiting, for at least a day, the cradle of the Renaissance.
Are there specific behaviors that tourists need to avoid? Are private or small group tours better? Is October a less tourist heavy month in Florence? Any specific recommendations on touring Florence that would not raise the ire of the locals? I certainly do not wish to become the poster child for poor tourist behavior in Florence!
