Make sure the white balance is set correctly, and if the colours still look saturated then kick down the saturation in PS

Would you be able to post a link to the original RAW file? Or at least a full size high quality jpeg. Then we can see what you started with.

From what I can see, it looks a little "hazy" which is a problem I have often had. You can adjust this with Levels in Photoshop. Re the colours, it is hard to say what changes are needed without seeing the original and without knowing what you want to get out of the pic, but you can use tools like "Selective Colour Adjustment" and "Hue/Saturation" to tweak certain colours.
